There may be more than one way to skin the cat.
If you design a site with a central autocross pad with buildings or sound
attenuation fences/devices around the pad, then your noise levels would be
greatly reduced. They are commonly used for subdivisions adjacent to freeways
and such. That would be an extra cost item but you never know until you explore
the possibilities.
If there is an acoustic expert here, they may be able to comment further on
that.
