I have just booked onto a Track Day at Abingdon on the 18th March with Motorsport Events.

It would be great to have a few more TVR's there.

I am in a group that includes a couple of Lotus, a Peugeot 107 probably an R8 or E46M3.

For this e who don't know Abingdon it is safe, very safe, being an old airfield there is nothing to hit and it has a nice assortment of corners.

I hope to see a few there.

I've considered Abingdon, but not sure whether my TVR will pass their 100db sound check.

My Chimaera 500 has a standard exaust, but got 103 db at Goodwood.

Not had to do a sound check at Abingdon before, it is mile to a house so I have never seen it enforced and the initial measurement is done at what you say is 4500 rpm no one checks.

Never had a problem in my de catted Cerbera.

I’m often driving Abingdon in many V8 cars including a Cobra with a Ford Coyote 5.0 Mustang engine and at tickover thats well over 100 db as it has no silencers fitted.
Never had a complaint yet and there is often 20+ cars on track at any given time.

Unlikely but if there’s still space I might make a late swoop for this one, I’m picking up a race car on the 14th that I’ve never driven before and could do with a wee shakedown before racing it at silverstone on the 25th/26th. Of course testing is completely sold out so I’ll be going in blind in someone else’s motor eek

Not a TVR unfortunately but a Jag XK8
