I'm sure it's like what happens when they repave or seal the asphalt in your neighborhood... if you want to be able to get out and drive somewhere you need to park your car on the street somewhere that isn't being repaved/sealed.
It's only just one stage, though, so it's probably only shut down for part of the day, so it probably isn't
too much of an inconvenience. And you are right about the revenues.
My main gripe is I think it's foolish to run a rally stage through a residential neighborhood like that... Too unsafe for the spectators (willing and unwilling alike), IMO. I'm pretty sure it's going to be one of those things where they keep on doing it until something bad happens (like an out of control car kills a kid or something).
As much as I love auto racing, I really wouldn't want some rally cars to come flying down my cul de sac.
