What is the robbery/carjack/murder rate compared to uk/USA/Europe, does anyone actually know?
And what is the crime rate in the areas near the track, it's region, better or worse than national average?

Britain's violent crime record is worse than any other country in the European union, it has been revealed.
Official crime figures show the UK also has a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and even South Africa - widely considered one of the world's most dangerous countries.
The figures comes on the day new Home Secretary Alan Johnson makes his first major speech on crime, promising to be tough on loutish behaviour.
