HI have you any more info on this event??

[davetherave1970]

Probably this one http://carlimits.com/

Does anyone know if there is a noise limit?
My Griff is 103dB at idle

[mikey P 500]

no noise limits its an airfield not a track, not going but went to the last sunday one in Jan was very good fun.

I may go for the 10th March day. I have that week off work
Doing a drifting course on the 11th March!

What a week that'll be

Thanks for the tip off, I've just booked onto this, been thinking about going to North Weald for a while, never been before, and a Sunday is a perfect opportunity. See you there :-) I'll be in a blue Z4

[davetherave1970]

Well I popped down around 11am to see what it was all about.
Looks like good value for the money and there isn't a noise limit which is great for me
I'll more than likely book for the 10th March now.
How did the afternoon go? Anyone not enjoy it?

I went last Sunday for the first time . Great day will arrange another in the near future ! Safe environment ! I went with my 20 year old Son who got to drive my Mustang for the first time . He is now on the phone to find a company who would give him cover . Yes he is still dreaming .

Hi Steve

I did see you go round once or twice before lunch. Lovely noise from that Mustang
I think I left as your son was about to have a go!

So, good value for the day then? How did your tyres hold up to the beating?

[cervini]

As advised pumped up to max ,i was stunned that it was 51 psi as stated on tyre wall. Shame that surface is a bit loose and bumpy .However both of us had a lot of fun .

Right, I'm booked in for tomorrow.
Licence - Check.
Oil - Check.
Water - Check.
Quick look at brake discs and pads - Check, well nothing out of the ordinary.
Fuel - Check, filled to the max.
Tyres - Check, increased but not to the max. Couldn't bring myself to go to the 51psi max so 40psi was enough for me (usually 24 - 26).
Roof ready to put on for the second time this year Rain tomorrow (saves the tyres).

I cant see any reason to increase your tyre presure to 40 psi or more anyway. My cusson works for Michelin and he tells me that if i do a track day increase the presure by only 2 or 3 psi and my car weighs 1800kg and the tryes looked and felt fine after a whole day at Silverstone. But the brakes did get a little warm lol.

So what do you get for £46 then ????? all the stuff on there website is in the hundreds. Or is it just for a blast around the airfield?
