Noise issues

[edb49]

Ouch, looks like trackdays at Bedford are coming to an end.

For those who didn't get black flagged for noise, it was good, although very wet. It's a good place to do a wet day, plenty of room for spins, and there were loads. I saw quite a few spin in front of the pits.

Had a few rear-end twitches there myself, used the SimonK line on more than a few occasions

Phil - hope you enjoyed the BoLOCs tribute Bedford Petrol Run

Felt sorry for those that were excluded but it would appear that despite the warnings given by LOT prior to yesterday some still didn't refit their cats.
I had an absolute ball and a good few spins in the morning (including one in front of the pits - I'm a crowd pleaser me!). I really did learn a lot yesterday too - enough to avoid any spins in the afternoon although I was travelling quicker than in the morning. I'm actually able to get on the pace now for parts of a lap - still yet to string together a decent lap though. I'm going to keep trying so you're going to have to keep putting up with me
Those that didn't go missed the sight of an RX8 that decided to take up hill climbing at the end of the mainstraight
(Hope the damage isn't too bad and the guys will be back).

I used a few of Simon's lines,
I thought the fuel run was great, I didn't know you knew so many good roads around Bedford.

The RX8 was lucky not to bury himself in the bank, I hope he's OK>

It's a real shame, and I hope that somehow it can be rescued. Whilst it's not the most exciting track, it's great for learning about the car and practising new techniques.

I can fully understand why Paul and the LoT team may choose not to continue to go there if the noise limit is so strict, and I'm sure if they do make that decision, it'll be with a heavy heart. I've had some great days at Bedford, and some excellent socials before and during. Aug Bank Holiday won't be the same without the LoT day

Shame for MSV too.

Arse. Was hoping to make Bedford the first place I track my Exige.

[bogie]

well I guess they are just enforcing properly the limits that have always been there due to council/locals complaining..

im glad I had that quiet exhaust fitted a couple of years ago

...another reason not to have a lairy exhaust and decat if you want to stand a chance of doing any trackdays, I can only see it getting worse

What zorst are you running Tony?
