So how comes Renault (presumably F1 or World Series cars) can run there...but TVR's are banned?

You'll probably find that (like most race tracks in the country) they are allowed X-amount of unlimited noise days per year.

Noise limits also tend to be slacker during the week, since people aren't in their houses.

On a related note, the Javelin days at Elvington now have a 95db drive by limit

You will probably find that they have deeper pockets than the average TVR driver, and probably a slitly more reliable car too!!!!

Mclaren used to do their straight line test there but now do it on a runway on some island in the Med which is apparently one of the longest strips in Europe. Seems strange that Renault could get approval at Elvington but Mclaren couldn’t.

Cheers
