* Your car in full track worthy condition and within the 102db noise limit (no exceptions - track day silencers may be available to borrow, please ask)
* A helmet conforming to the current standards - email for details if you are unsure, helmets will be available to hire also

Also already booked in, along with a few intermopers I am affraid.
A Jag (sorry I seem to have left my wallet at home)XK8, A Merc CL55AMG and a BMW M3.
So we shuld have a BMW stuck to everyone's back bumper a Jag wafting around gently and a Merc in the Gravel.
Cool.
If it's the same CL55 there was on the last TVR day at brands, then we can as well follow him around the M25 for the evening A Jag (sorry I seem to have left my wallet at home)XK8, A Merc CL55AMG and a BMW M3.

Out of interest chaps, how many of you are planning to use bolt-on silencers and on what cars? Some day I'll come back to TVR ownership and it'd be good to know how difficult it's going to be to get on track. Even my S3 (possibly an aftermarket exhaust, but nothing extreme) came in at over 100dB on some of the tests (although ironically high 90s on others, but the marshalls decision and all that...)

We have a really simple add on for the wedge, it is just a couple of bits of concentric tube that acts as a restrictor when stuffed with wire wool. It drops the wedge from 103db to 97-98db, at least until the wire wool blows out. Did not need it this evening as the marshall doing the testing was pretty lenient so we got away with 1db over.That was about the only good thing about the evening, we spent more time queuing to get out onto the track than we did on it. Never had that problem before, there did seem to be a lot of people in the briefing so maybe it was just the number of drivers. At least everyone was courteous on track, one of the M3s had a cracking exhaust note too.
