Hi Guys

I have booked onto this, it is being run by the BMW owners club and is only £325 for the day. This is really good value for the Arena GP circuit. So come on get booked up and lets show these BMW owners what our Cerbs can do.

Contact Nick Wright at sykehouse@hotmail.com

Don't leave me on my own against all these beemers.

No left it to late to book up & it was sold out, looking to do the one in April next year.

Are you still going to Snetterton on 17th, I am still thinking of doing that one.

You would be more that welcome, first time I habe been to Donnington so will need a few laps to get to know the track.

Don't listen to Fubes he is a bit of a wuss

Trying to decide between the 17th and the 21st @ Oulton which is the last chance to test the Tuscan before the ring and Spa!

What due you think a 98db drive by equates to in a static test?

Will you pass the 98db noise limit??

I doubt my Cerb would.

im unscarable lol
so look forward to meeting you and taking you up on that graham;)

i got kicked off donny last year in my westfield megabusa, they are hot on drive by noise limit which is 98db (no static last time i was there)
theres a mic on the main gantry so you can shortshift past that to keep the noise down but you need to be carefull on other side of track as the noise bounces back off the wall to the gantry (which is how they got me)
im hoping my pulsars gonna be ok with noise too as ive not done one there with that before.
gp is a great circuit though and very quick in a lot of places

I can get on Bedford with a 98db static if I use the silencers, so I should be ok with a 98 drive by (if that don't tempt fate nothing will).

Hi Bob, glad you enjoyed the few laps. Now you need to get yours sorted and get it out on track. Pity about the noise issues you had, did seem a bit silly when all thoses planes were going overhead and you couldn't hear people talking.

yeah was a shame with the noise thing graham but at least i managed to get a day out of it by short shifting down the straight, my own fault for not remembering to bring a bung with me doh.

last session out i really nailed it down the straight and got 4 laps before getting my go home black flag but had a great day anyway!

i was very impressed with your cerb though, and people say these cars dont handlewhistle
well il certainly be investing a few squid into mine for sure on the handling mods/bushes etc although it will still mainly be a road based car
