Bob,
I'm still not convinced about the noise limitations. Molly and I would love to show off Pearl's Increased BHP and vastly improved handling ( Thanks BR) . We remain needed to be convinced. I would hate to turn up and be relegated to being an observer. Apparently Pearl can sound quite vocal
Rob, just turn up anyway.I'm still not convinced about the noise limitations. Molly and I would love to show off Pearl's Increased BHP and vastly improved handling ( Thanks BR) .

You will be banned for your inappropriate overtaking manoeuvres anyway.
Hell, in for a pound, as they say......
Rob post that video and we will all decide for you

Of course its your shout Rob but I can't imagine Pearl could be louder than any of the following:I'm still not convinced about the noise limitations.

"To put the noise level into perspective, all of our standard test days and most of our club race events adhere to the above limits. If fully prepped race cars can run on the circuit with a full grid of 40 cars I would be very surprised to see issues with your cars.
Our bike track days are also operated to these limits with many bikes sporting aftermarket exhausts.
We run all of our Rockingham track days with a static of 98db and drive by of 90db, I have seen everything from Audi R8’s to Impreza’s on these “quite” days and are still never had to refuse access to the circuit or send any driver home for being too loud."
and still be road legal,,, I hope you and Mikey make it.

Only the road legal aftermarket cans, no full systems or race cans, they always need a baffle. 98db is pathetically low.
You understand these things George, to be honest I don't. Will did say they have "never had to send anyone home", so 'pathetic' might be a tad strong. Are you coming down George?Y100 said:

No I just get annoyed about how low noise limits are getting, usually because some prick moves next to a circuit then complains about noise. 98db is extremely low. A lot of standard road bikes and cars are a lot louder than that. 105db is a fair limit imo. George29 said:

In the absence of any previous Rockingham Track day experience of my own and in a final attempt to provide the clearest possible guide for us all, I have asked Will for his assurance that all will be well for us come the day, this is what he said:
Hi Bob
105db is the static, 98db is drive by.
Our drive by is over 10 metres away from the circuit, if he (George) is comparing us to other circuits then the drive by will vary depending on how far the monitor is form the racing line.
Again putting the limits into context – Formula 3 run all of their test days to this limit, I would be extremely surprised if their cars are louder than a Formula 3, race prepped car.
I reiterate that we have never asked a vehicle leave the circuit for being too loud. If he will pass the static, he will pass the drive by.
I would be more than happy to invite owners to the venue for a noise test and if activity permits, a drive past the monitor. By all means forward my details on for me to speak to any concerned party.
I hope this helps, if I can provide any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me
Kind regards
Will

Rob, Go on eBay and type in 'DB Meter'. There are some for around £20 that record between 30 - 130db and can download the results to a laptop. £20 well spent and you could have some fun with it at future meets.I'm still not convinced about the noise limitations.

Like I said....£20 on a Db meter is money well spent and it clears up all the issues. Stand 10 meters away from your car and give it some revs to establish some kind of reading.
Thats all it will it give a reading. Won't be accurate. Will give a completely different reading to a professional meter.George29 said:

105db is the static, 98db is drive by.
Which one is it? If it's 105 then that's about right imo I will trailer my car there.... Hotel near by the night before... Few drinks and some dinner...
When I done Silverstone, they allowed me to drop my car off in the secure compound until the following morning rather than leaving it hitched to the back of the Navara over night in the hotel car park...

Just had it confirmed by Will, it will be a 1a day @ 105db,,,,,,,,,sorted George, so will I be seeing you there.
I'd love to come and watch, and may well do. I've no interest in driving round though tbh, had a few passenger rides on car track days and it doesn't do much for me. George29 said:

See my first post on noise105 dB ( usually measured within 0.5m of exhaust exit and often on both sides)
If the drive by is measured at ~ 10 metres that is A LOT lower than the static (dB scale is exponential not linear so reduces quickly with distance)
