I don't know, I'll ask and report back here fully road legal cars are preferred on this relaxed day so as not to put off novices but by prior arrangement with Dave trailed track cars could be accommodated, we've had a Jedi before and another time another track car I don’t know the name of

Sports exhaust and de-cat so might be struggling a tad.  I'll see if I can find some silencers.

In terms of someone who asked about noise restrictions I did a track day today at Curborough and the noise level was set at 105db at about 2/3rd throttle although think they would show a bit of leeway as they seemed a pretty relaxed bunch.

still room for a few more, is there something going on in the next few weeks? Contacted, thanks  Re the next few weeks, no idea. I'm planning to attend something most weekends for the next month or two though, mostly car-related. My usual trip to Marham has been sacrificed to come to Curborough, although Marham being on the BMW National weekend didn't help it either, plus it's a fair old way in comparison. Also, 4 weeks notice is probably not quite enough for many people with diaries likely already planned up beyond that.

or most people are fed up of spending money on wet track days when money is tight.
