Hi there, looking to take my car to the track for the first time. However, I'm concerned about noise limits and which tracks will be suitable.
So where do you guys track your speciales?!

There is a long thread about this but basically you need a no limits day such as sometimes at Donington or a more friendly place such as Blyton - you might just get lucky on a 105 day depending on drive-by limit

I've never seen a speciale on factory exhaust run into issues at Silverstone which is 105db.

Had the same concerns with mine...but I was admitted to Oulton Park and Silverstone on FOC track days without any issues.

Keep the manettino switch in a "quiet" setting when going through scrutineering, and shouldn't be a problem! wink

Quiet days are a problem (with stock exhaust) but nothing that a lift off near the mic's couldnt cure. Worthwhile doing a loud day - build up to CT Off! It where the car is best!

Too loud for Spa @ 105db but as said you just got to keep the revs down past the noise meter and flick it down to sport if you're still worried

Hi guys I'm booked in for silverstone next month where there's a drive by noise limit of 102db.
Should I be OK with that with a stock exhaust?
Also my mate has an f12 will he be Ok too?

Thanks Guys
