BEC at Donington

[chutley]

Taking my BEC (ZX14R) MK to Donington in April. Any BEC drivers have experience of the noise testing and how the Static compares to the drive by?

Unless you have a decent silencer on it, i'd expect to have issues. We typically say 3dB less for the drive-by vs the static, but BECs are obviously a bit of an anomally to that rule, so if your car is 101dB or higher - you're almost certainly in bother.

My car (Westfield Megabusa) tends to buck the normal trend, never had any issues with drive by but struggle with Static tests.
I've only done Donington once a few years back but had no issues then with drive by. I have also done Bedford a few times (another circuit where people seem to struggle with drive by) and never had any issues although I always struggle to get below the 101db static there, struggle with static at Oulton as well.
I have got a sizeable exhaust and a decent airbox on it which undoubtably helps with noise though.
