Hey guys

Am at Donny next sunday in the radical

Was just wondering if anyone knew where the db meters are at donny. I have read there are a couple of them around the track. Am just asking on the off chance i get pulled up on noise i can just give a lift at the points.

I got pulled up at silverstone last month but was obvious where it was after the guy handed me pics. So i just lifted a tad and got back on it. Job done!

I have a quieter track exhaust on now...but just incase I'm still not quite there it would be helpful to know?

Any ideas? Anyone had trouble there before?

Best regards

J

I was there last year with my SR3RS with a system that typically measures 105dB static and never trouble the drive by meters all day. I was overgeared, so it might have been lucky, but I have found that whilst the Radical is a noisy car static, it isn't loud on track.
Have a good day.

Thanks for the replies boys

Thats interesting!!! I had the race box on at silverstone last month. As the day went on and it came to the afternoon i did get a warning and he came back to me with photos and db levels............i was generally hitting 104db on driveway but for one lap i hit 106db. He was ok though and just told me to lift for a few mtrs which was cool.

So just checking really.......the quieter box will help, just wanted to be prepared incase i was above 98db on flybys. Although i think its all a but of crap really as there is an airport right next door lol!!!!

you need to be pretty loud to exceed the limits at donny. My car has been measured at 114 static and has no problem with the driveby limit there.

In was 103 in a TVR at Bedford last year, but scraped in (101 limit) because a Porsche GT3 RS was 103 as well, so they doubted their equipment. Never troubled the 87.5 db drive by all day, which leads me to think that you will never trouble a 95db drive by.
