Bedford - Monday 24.05.10

Anyone going?

This will be my first track day for a couple of years and my first at Bedford so looking forward to it.

One thing I did notice was a static noise test of 101db but a drive by at 85db, is it something to worry about if it passes the static?

[tjdixon911]

I don't fully understand the difference between the two, surely a noise limit is set, in this instance at 101db static and thats it, how can there then be an 85db drive by? Is it on a certain part of the track, where maybe lower revs are used or is it at full throttle down a straight? Perhaps the distance from the car makes a difference?

A car that passes the Static test at 100db is going to be making 100db when moving at the same revs, is that not right?

My car with its previous exhaust was 102db and with the new exhaust is a lot quieter so I am fairly confident it will pass.

It will be good to see you all there on Monday! And hopefully get a passenger ride or two to see how its done!

The passenger seat in my 968 will be available, and any advice on how to get around the track will be much appreciated

Just a quick one, not sure I have seen the answer in the information/Intro pack (although not read it fully yet!).

I've been watching a few vids on Youtube and noticed alot of drivers wearing short sleeves, is this acceptable? All previous trackdays I have been on have required arms to be covered, whats the answer?

See you all monday,

Tom

I had a great day, and met some nice people, the driving standard was first class, defo want to go back.

Just need to build some confidence and get a bit quicker through the corners.

any idea where I can find some pics please?

I took a few but my photography skills are about as good as my driving skills so they're not great.

I will post them up either tonight / tomorrow.

Cheers bstw!!

Nice photos tkdixon - did you take them?

PS anyone know why the driver of the Silver Cayman was? He was very swift around the circuit.

Yeah taken by me, on a cheapo camera hence the poor quality of some......

That Silver Cayman was pretty rapid, he came past me at one point, I tried to keep up but couldn't, but then thats not saying alot

ETA - Your GT3 looked awesome, I had just put the camera away when you spun on the pit straight so missed getting a pic of that.

Can't agree more.

MrDerp, are these pics small enough files to email?
