Yes, "urban rodeos" are a problem here.
Idiots in cars or on bikes, tearing up some open road for fun, are making it harder to get permission for legitimate events.
We don't seem to have reached the levels of the "Stockholm Open" in terms of illegal street racing; the idiots don't have the organisational skills to pull off such a stunt.
However, they are giving a bad name to car related events.

So instead of providing "legitimate events" for gear heads (responsible ones as well as idiots) to get it out of their system, the authorities there are making it more difficult to race legally? Whomever's in charge has their approach ass backwards.

Another problem is the cost of a trackday. With the entry fee and the insurance, you have to have a little disposable income here to do these events.
The kind of people who do the stupid things on open roads would never put down a couple of hundred euros to participate. Most of them, when caught, have no car insurance, have lost their driving licence and the car is not even roadworthy (MOT/contrôle technique)!
I'm sorry to say that we have our fair share of "europeen rednecks" / loosers...------------------
