Yes - it's a trackday - 105dB
Thanks J, will try to pop along in the morning for a look.
Just had a look down the entry list - some pretty nice kit (as usual for our days) turning up on Saturday.. Astons, Ferraris, Porsches, Lotus', Radical, Atom etc... Should be great and the weather's looking good! Track opens at 9am and closes at 5pm with a 1 hour break at lunchtime between 12.30 and 1.30.

Had a lovely day yesterday at the sprint, here's a few from me.
Didn't see this do a lap, only saw it disappear under the tunnel and over to the car park, guess it only ran in the morning?

Saw it run and hoped it would do more but to no avail. It was heading back to the car park as we left and the transporter it was going to was a piece of kit in itself. Hats off to Enda Garvey for bringing some interesting stuff.

Unfortunately, the RS200 blew the noise meters to bits on it's practice run so it only completed 2 runs in the morning. It was there as an invited car - mainly for demonstration purposes.. The gearing meant that it had hit the limiter in top before it reached madgwick and it was bouncing at max rpm down all of the straights so would not have been competetive. The acceleration off the line was insane though.. Please see www.tsl-timing.com for the results.

That's what I was looking for - thanks smile
