Goodwood track day 28th July

Wow, what a strange contrast of track day after being on a Silverstone one the previous week. Goodwood certainly has a very different atmosphere to any of the other circuits with all the retro stuff and non run-off.

It meant the atmosphere was very relaxed, a limit of 10 cars on the circuit at once but I don't think even that number went on while I was there. Some strange cars there, including a Range Rover on circuit...! And a rather cool looking 1960s Mustang.

Noise testing was bizarre, I (and others) were getting readings much higher than I've had at other circuits, but luckily I still scraped in. Very fast circuit, a bit strange as to get a good lap you have to be really comitted to the high-speed stuff, but then there is no run off... so I don't think I got anywhere near the car's potential. Will post a few videos up in a tick.

Forgot to say... my noise readings at 3 previous tracks has been 96db, but at Goodwood it was 101db initially when the car was part-warm. I then drove it around for a 10 mins to get it warmed up and the second reading was within the 98db limit (just).
