How strict are they with the noise limits at 'The Ring' ?
Don't take your vulcan bomber to the car park and run it up to max thrust and you'll be OK. Seriously, unless your car has a very boomy exhaust and you make a lot of noise in the car park, or directly around the barriers, you'll generally be fine. There is an offical noise limit and sometimes I think the officials need to be seen to be policing it, or they can use it as a deterrant if they perhaps didn't like your attitude in the car park, etc.
I agree with fergus. The noise limit is there so they can find a reason to throw you off.
My Evo is 106dB static and I was really worried about being tested, but as long as you don't give them a reason to test you, you'll be fine.
If you have a loud car, my advice would be:
1) Don't dick about in the car park revving your engine to alert the marshals.
2) Crawl through the barriers on literally just the clutch (or as few revs as you can make do with).
3) Once though the barriers and cones, get 200-300 meters up the straight before you floor it. This way, the Porsches, bikes and other cars at the barriers will drown you out massively.

Err, no. The noise limit is there to keep the greenies that want the track closed, happy. It's something that the NGmbH had to introduce to ensure the continuation of TF.IMO it's a bit risky to say that your car's running at 105dB and just hope that it'll be alright, long way to come to not be allowed on the track. A bung or something like that is a good plan, but if you still want to risk it "as is", then as some have said on here, don't be a carpark hero, don't continually blip the throttle, and don't give it the beans until AFTER the cones.
