Have booked on - will be bringing along the Ginetta G40 GT5 car, happy to give a few rides during the dar for anyone with the nerve

I'm up for that

[gm77]

I'm booked to go but am still deciding whether to take my T350C (very new purchase) or my bright green Elise (which is my long standing track car).

Either way, I hope to say hello - being as I'm new to the TVR family.

....or move the MOT, or use another of your fleet?

Just looking at the Javelin site for what is attending, usual mix of Caterham's, Lotus and some Radical's - and we have 4x TVR's booked on at the moment.

Mat Smith is also umming and aahing about coming too....I think he might be waiting to be certain his race car survives this weekend at Silverstone.

Guaranteed to be clear blue skies then!!

I live 15 minutes from Snetts, the Beeb forecast is usually fairly accurate here

Would have loved to been there but I must carry on my quest to cure the dreaded Tvr boom/drone. The car is booked in with a exhaust specialist, I will update on a separate thread if it works.

What rpm does it come in at Trev?

I have a drone at 2000 rpm but minimal or non-existent in faith.

I believe that is because drive is straight through the box and the drive isn't going through the gears in fifth.

Not sure on revs but cruising between 60/70 the car has become very loud since adding the extra power and having the pre cats removed, if I could drive everywhere at 80 mph all would be fine, before the work my car was 92db it's now 97db. The plan is to have a removable rear section with the silencing in the tail pipe which will be increased in size to 75mm so the internal measurement stays at 50 mm so no extra restriction.

That's what I thought but 5th is quieter and 4th noisiest.

I am talking resonance!

Present BBC forecast for Wednesday

[Classic Chim]

I'm so going to regret working on Wednesday
No choice really.
If anyone's got any brains they will get a go in the Ginetta, I know exactly how fast it is,,, gutted isn't the word.
Slicks people slicks
Corner speeds,,, aaaaaaghhhh im missing it already.
That's a really kind offer by the way Nick.
Enjoy guys

[QBee]

You will be missed, Alun.
And I have just put slicks on my track wheels.....

I suppose it will mean one less noise test failure, but it's a welcome noise.
