Good man! The straight is about a mile long, 30 metres wide with a sweeping corner at either end. We haven't had anything yet that didn't top out (if desired) along it!

Thank you, Not sure I'll be able to top out but I should see 170mph+

Hi
Do you have a list of cars going?
Will there be a drift session at any point?

We can put up a list of what's signed up, unless people would prefer to cut and paste?

DRIFTING: It's a definite NO sorry! I am entrusted with the airfield strictly under the proviso that we look after it and drifting will chew it up badly.

Whilst we appreciate cars/drivers spin out when taken to the limit, deliberate loss of control that damages risks having the whole event cancelled ....and leaving me with a BIG insurance bill/headache!

Kind regards,
Steve.

Ok thanks
My car has a loose back end so it may not be drifting as such but it swings more than pendulum when giving it some
May have to result to leaving the tf on full

My bravery topped out before the car did

There you go... you've set yourself new goals/targets already! :-)

I didn't know the big red/white barriers at the end of the straight were targets! I've been going about this all wrong

I'd prefer it if they weren't to be honest! We borrow the cones from Balfour Beatty so explaining why the lorry is less full on the Monday is always interesting! Hahaha Mind you, it's less to collect come Sunday evening.... 1000 cones is laborious!

Is there a noise limit on the day? My car is completely standard but loud enough to not be allowed on Snet/Bedford/etc....

Can't see anything about it on the website

We haven't had an issue yet with noise! Do you have any idea what sort of dB level it is?

Usually, if it doesn't split your eardrums on idle it's fine and we're out in the wilds so no villagers to annoy. :-)

I'll apologise in advance, I have a screamer pipe but its definitely not ear splitting, but still fairly loud

Sounds fine.... pardon the pun!

Warning: Motorsport can be loud - there, we're covered! :-D

On the sighting laps for the last one, I was sandwiched between the RS6 and GTR.

When they both opened up into the first straight I'm sure my windows rattled. That's pillar-less doors for you

We previously had a Scooby with fibre glass doors/lexan windows on a high speed run who's doors rattled so much the passenger one flew off at well over 150mph. His wife..... who was in the passenger seat gave him a right earful apparently, and i'll bet that's not all she did seeing the runway markings zipping past!!

Is it louder than a Tornado taking off?
