Hi, as in the subject. Assuming sports exhaust is off but otherwise you’re not shortshifting, lifting or fitting special silencers - which tracks in the UK you won’t have trouble on, and which will black flag you for noise?
Thanks

Different days on the same track may have a different noise limit in place, so it's not a track specific issue. You need to know the dB output of the car you have and then compare that to the limits in place on the day(s) you're looking at attending.

My 992 GT3 has consistently (4 measurements now) been 94db static with sports exhaust off on the soft limiter.

I’d have thought it’s normally the drive-by meters which are a problem though. 94db static is 4db louder than my car which has never had a problem, including tracks with strict limits (Bedford, Brands).
Did you have any problems with drive-by meters?

I did a day at Brands last year in my 991.2 and had no problems….there was a 992 there which I believe did trip the drive by. There are different noise limit days at different tracks and also it can depend on amount of cars. Bedford you will be short shifting in one section.
