Castle Combe - Noise Limits

[r1_jon]

Anyone know how strict Combe are with noisy cans? Just debating whether I should put the original back on for a track day.

Very strict I'm afraid. Local Nimbyism has left us with no choice....

The noise limit for the day is 105 db(A), which is measured at ½ metre from the exhaust outlet at ¾ maximum revs. It is the rider’s responsibility to ensure that their machine is within this limit. All machines are sound tested prior to going out on the circuit. In the event of a machine failing the sound check, then the rider will be entitled to a 75% refund. If you are unsure if your bike will get through the noise test (i.e. if it is fitted with an after market exhaust system), then you can always come over to get the bike noise tested prior to booking a place.

I can understand why its had to be done but it is madness!
If you decide to live nextdoor to a race-track you have to expect a little noise..

I live near an airport and have to expect reasonable noise. IF it suddenly got alot worse regularly then i could understand people getting the ump.

Just seems, the racetracks always get bottom priority to local councils etc..
