To be fair, racing on the road is shit now anyway, nowhere good to go, police are too clued up on everywhere and there are always the dumb chavs who want to sit and watch drawing more attention and creating problems.
I actually enjoy rolling round in my 1.0 litre swift getting 45mpg obeying the law as after doing a few trackdays it puts it into perspective not only how dangerous it is street racing but also how crap and boring it is and how little you can really push your car as you aren't going to run off into some grass and at worst stack it in the tyres, you are going to hit lamposts, fences, cars, people etc.
