Any interest in a trackday around March?

[Guigsy]

my nurspec will fail then. doh

To use donington as an example (same goes for Oulton Park) the circuit has 2 or 3 permamently sited microphones that are connected to Db meters, both at the circuit, and remotely, to be be permanently readable by the local District Councils. ...

 

Donington is next door to an airport FFS! I think jet engines make a tad more noise than a few cars.

 

 

Anyway, I've booked onto that GP day at Silverstone (March 6th), and there are 10 places currently remaining. Very Supra friendly track - recommended.

Its funny isn't it... if you live near an airport you can't complain too much about low flying aircraft or noise - 'cos they tell you you're too emotional about the whole thing.(my own experience!) But if you live near a race circuit you can stop people having safe fun! - ok - "we'll go for a race around the M25 again... thats safe and has no noise restrictions"

 

... rant over....

 

Donny were tight on the Time attack peeps last year, but most of us couldn't get any grip anyway! (snow, 1-2 deg C etc).

Oulton was anal about the whole thing - probably in light of Chris's comments, because of the diligent council members.

Snetterton were pretty good, they pulled Paul on his 3rd lap a while back... and wouldn't let him back on track until it was significantly reduced (112dB I think?)

Brands is the only circuit I've never had a problem with (hopes that isn't the death statement!) - probably because it sits in a valley. It's still 105dB but thats a normal track day limit for them, no special day or rates are normally applied.

 

.. just my observations

Brands is winning the poll at the moment

There's normally quite a few dates available at Brands to and they sell lovely chips!

Do we still need the poll? I think the decision is plain to see for everyone envolved. Brands it is!

I'd do donnington for sure. lovely circuit, and I have tested the runoff... and it passed

 

screamer pipes.. lol.

 

need I ressurect the "fail" thread?

 

if we bring burgers and a stove I can set the tent on fire for you.

[Paul Whiffin]

10 all at the moment! Come on Brands fans! May be we should do 2, one at Brands and one at Silverstone?

Not both in March, please.

Mine is 74db.

 

It's got to be the GP circuit at Brands surely- the Indy track, while nice just doesn't have the same appeal.

[Wez]

I have done the Indy at brands and enjoyed it, the dip really gets your stomach going, cracking little circuit

Have you done it?

[b.weeks]

I've just swayed it 11/10 to Brands Silverstone is flat and boring!

[Wez]

[SteveR]

so can we go to a noisy day pleeeeeaaase?

 

unlikely...

This is the sort of money Donington are charging pre season for their noisy test sessions (you need a race licence to take part).

[Gazboy]

Have you done it?

 

Haven't done either yet but I *really* want to do the GP track but just haven't had a chance.

This one is probably the best in March as its open pit lane http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/trackdays/event-details.asp?ProductID=4710

If I can get numbers I will approach about doing a group/club discount, what do you think?
