Remember everybody aprox 100 dec @ 4500rpm (noise testing) Only very illegal pipes would fail this.


It might be worth Justin getting his scooby checked in advance as it wasn't quiet (FWIW my Caterham is under 98dB if that helps as a comparison.)

They are a very professional outfit, full driver instruction, one on one. Helmets, Ambulance, toilets, hot food, etc.
www.motorsport-events.co.uk

It is a very controlled environment, with full flag system, all is explained on web and pre-driver breifing.


I've been on a couple of their days and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

They are well run events. Noise can be an issue though. My last trip produced 99dB for my standard exhaust Griff and 100dB for my friends standard 993. They will certainly try to help if its a bit noisy but I've seen a few caterfields fail.

Borrow my 940 if you want to get it's arse out.
Just remember to put it in '2' before you do though or it may shift up halfway through.

I'll be there on the 17th, in the track car. However, i don't have a spare £90 to actually go on track as it's all going on the car at the moment.

Corin, i'll email you about Sunday at some point, still on to help out if needed.
