Hi Guys,

I wnat to start doing a few more track days to learn the limits of the Chim in realtive safety along with some proper instruction.
Trouble is mines got a sleeved exhaust and whilst I don't have a db reader i know it runs well over the normal 105 limits of most tracks.
Can anyone recommend and tracks or companies that have a slightly looser regulation when it comes to noise limits?
I also need to try and ensure the tracks and companies are good for novices - last thing I want to do is go out on a fast/comlplicated track with little experience, nor do I want a chav fest such as the annual open day at Castle Coombe.

You are gunna struggle with that noise, if you want to track regually its got to be quiet im afraid, bit boreing but thats life unfortunatly & for max track availability as quiet as you can get it, there are a few 105 db days around but they are expensive & not as prolific as 98db.

For full noise UK wise- only Cadwell that im aware of, arguably not novice ideal, but did me fine as my first proper one many years ago, just go easy in mountain, tho I think Snett is open noise too.

Cadwell now carries out sound checks on all cars at idle.

Silverstone is about the only circuit where I haven't been noise tested, though I think Goldtrack run occasional noisy days at Donnington as well.

Goldtrack noisy days at Donny or Silverstone are the way to go. I think Brands is 105 static, so pretty loud too.

There's a lot of mixed feelings about days at Brands, but I have been to a couple of MSV org'd OPL days in the last couple of months that have been very good.

Goldtrack always superb!

Just down the road from you, Snett. 105dB £139 open pitlane with Javlin last week. Most time I've had on a track and the quietest I've ever seen it.

It is at 3/4 revs you know and your rev limit is awfully low, right...whistle

Stick to a Gold Track event at Donington or Silverstone and you are unlikely to have any problems. There are three coming up between now and mid December that you'll be OK on.

Thanks guys - the gold track ones look good with no noise limits.
What are Silverstone & Donny like for novices? Ideally I'd like somewhere with a fairly decent run off as I'd like to minimise risk of damage as much as possible...
