Is there a noise limit on the day? My car is completely standard but loud enough to not be allowed on Snet/Bedford/etc....

Can't see anything about it on the website
Is it louder than a Tornado taking off? smile
There is a noise limit on the day of 105db. However we will be able to sort out any noise issues on the day.

When you do mine can I supply some ear defenders to make sure you hear it correctly ;-)

YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP, SORRY! Too many years stood next to Tornado GR4's and Harrier GR7's with engines running!! :-)

I didn't know the big red/white barriers at the end of the straight were targets! I've been going about this all wrong wink
I remember this wonderful moment on Marham's hallowed turf...

The booking will close when the event capacity has been reached or approximately 2 weeks before the event, this allows us to carry out necessary background security checks to allow personnel onto our station. This security check will also assist with a swift entry onto the station.

I am booked in already. Can I add a some helpers?

If on the day these helpers decide they dare venture on track can they pay to upgrade on the day?

If you want to add helpers, drop us an email on the booking website.

Helpers can be upgraded to drivers on the day, no problem.

Thank you, it's because of a job change and I didn't want to miss out again!

Finally for the first time in about 6 years, I am able to make Marham. Got my Dutch mate coming over as an additional driver too. Saturday only unfortunately, but we're bringing a 22 year old £1000 Merc C280 (albeit with a 3.2 and AMG brakes), so hopefully it will last the day - it still needs LOADS of work!

Will be good to catch up with some of the regulars again...

Family hatchback it may be, but with a 0-60 in the 3s, you'll hardly be pootling... biggrin

At the moment I'm not sure what car I'll be in, but I shall try and make Saturday. Will be good to see you again Chris!

Perhaps foolishly, I sold the Lexus last year. So, will I get the Camry ready in time? Or will it be my one elderly owner from new E-reg Sunny?.....

I'm still hoping to go - but I think I may have trashed the brakes on the WorldRallyShed, which may prove too expensive to replace before then. Fingers crossed I can get them skimmed or something!

I miss the Lexus! You gave me a ride and I was amazed by the near-silence at 120+ mph.
