991.2 GT3 - noise limits

[gashead1105]

I'm hoping that others on here have some real world experience of the 991.2 gt3 at Bedford autodrome. I'm looking at booking a trackday there in the near future but am wondering what the car is going to be like in respect of the noise limits there. Anyone on here done one before there? How were the drive by tests?

I took it to Snetterton last year for an evening and was fine but was told it was borderline on the drivebys. Am running the stock switchable silencer and I left it in quiet at Snetterton, so the valves will be opening past 5,000 rpm.

I’ve got a 991.2 GT3 with standard exhaust. Only been to Bedford once in it….there’s definitely one section where you will have problems with the noise limits. From memory it is only one part of the track as you accelerate out of a corner but I think it’s a relatively short piece of the track before you enter another corner.

I had problems even with the 102db limit at Goodwood with my 991.1 GT3 RS and had to avoid putting it in PDK Sport avoiding aggressive downshifts. Took a bit of the fun away.

I think Bedford will be a problem even as stock tbh. the noise limits are a bit humourless there.

Hhhmm interesting I have booked Bedford with PCGB with my GT3!

I did a track day in my 991.2 GT3, no issues with the static noise test and no real issues with drive by either. I think the sensor as you come out of the hairpin was the nearest to tripping. The staff gave me friendly advice to lift a bit at that point and all went well. Good luck!
