Porsche GT track day

[seawise]

Cadwell yesterday - bit wet - an understatement in the morning, no grip on the mountain section, standing water elsewhere ensured couldn't get any heat into the cups until late morning. Only GT car in the paddock. Mostly race cars, felt more like a test session than most days i have attended. Driving standards were high though, thankfully.

Has anyone tried their 997.2 RS at Silverstone with an X Pipe in place of the Centre muffler? Worth a go or am I going to be given the boot?

[hunter 66]

This is 102 or 105 drive by which is quite high so no panic

Anyone else at Silverstone Circuit's July 8 track day?

I think it says 102 drive and 105 static, probably worth a pre check considering the entry fee.

Few of us did Silverstone and other places this year on 102db drive by and also 105db static with JCR Ti bypass systems on and jcr Ti tips without any issues....only been pulled by the fun police at Donny park and just swapped tips over to silenced for 98db drive by.

As I said on another post I’m happy to send over my silenced tips for those that need.

I was at Silverstone last year, the stewards gave me a nice photo of the car passing the finishing line, blowing quite a bit over 105db. I had a Sharkwerks on at the time. It was pretty damp that day so I wasn't even giving it the full beans. I also got invited to leave the track at Snetterton the week before, again with the Sharkwerks, but bizarrely I was at Snetts just before that with the Sharkwerks on and no issues all day. I think the weather can play a major part in the 'acoustics'. The day I was ok at Snetterton was hot and sunny, both days I got into trouble it was overcast and cooler, hence denser air!

surprised how quickly track days for June and July sold out. I've had to book on to a novice day at oulton in July, and booked on to a TIPEC day at Blyton on the 3rd of July too

Fantastic evening at Brands last night. Indy circuit is so intense and a bit short for the car but my god it was fun. Ken & Adam at 9e really have the old girl running absolutely spot on.



Had a great battle with a tuned 996 turbo.

Great picture!

I trust there was no noise issue? I read that Brands isn’t 996 GT3 friendly, even with standard exhausts.

Nope in my black one i got kicked off. Then in this car I was absolutely fine so does seem random.

Thanks!

Any of these tracks you can just turn up and pay your money to get on or do you have to book every one.Looks like holidays will be in the UK for us this year due to uncertainty with flights.

Yes, I have.

It tends to be hit and miss. First few times I was ok - then more recently I've been black flagged a couple of times. Once it was for breaking 107dB driveby which was a bit surprising!

I now keep a set of silencer tips in the boot and slip them on if I get warned. Fearnsport normally has them in stock. They replace the std rear tips so need a couple of spanners to install but after that noise limit is not an issue.
