cheekymonkey Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Do you think the amount of Single-T supe's are putting people off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Worrying about noise now. Took the Supra for a country lane spin this morning and it is loud. When I had it MOT'd it was 87db what's the track limit, don't wanna drive all the way down to Llandow to find out I can't go on track! Speak up, I can't hear you over the deafening silence of your car. Seriously, 87 is nothing. Plus they didn't noise-test last time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Worrying about noise now. Took the Supra for a country lane spin this morning and it is loud. When I had it MOT'd it was 87db what's the track limit, don't wanna drive all the way down to Llandow to find out I can't go on track! My petrol lawnmower is 93dB. IMHO only open-to-atmosphere screamer pipes will get towards the track's noise limit which is a self-imposed 105dB, and last year I didn't see them enforce it anyway! (dB is a logarithmic measurement too, so doubly don't worry about it.) P.S. this info and more is in the FAQ, page 1 of the Llandow thread (link in my sig).

hogmaw Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Don't worry about making a fool of yourself like I said in a previous post nobody's there to take the piss (it happens on the forum afterwards!). I spun myself 3 times but so what. It's better to learn the limits of the car in the safety of a track with run off etc than on a public road. You only go as fast as YOU want to go. Also there are only a few other cars on the track allowed at any given time and the risk of collision is minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 In the afternoon there were a few occasions Tim_B and were the only people on the track. Regarding run-off, as Hogmaw states it is better to find (exceed) the limits on a track rather than a road - but watch for which corners have more run-off than others and do most of your learnng on those For example, there is the "oh-shi?! lane", which is brilliant and helped me to learn a LOT about my brakes and what happens if you try to turn in under too much braking. The "oh-xxxx" lane a continuation of the main straight, so if -for whatever reason- you don't make the 90 degree left you're supposed to take, you can just straighten the steering back up and use 'plan B' without issue.
