Lauren 2259 Report post Posted February 15, 2017 You will get black flagged at Silverstone if your exhaust is too loud. I've worked at tracks long enough to know they are always strict about such things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why can't people just move Having had the misfortune to endure those with exhausts reaching 110dB going past me whilst I've been stuck on the pitlane all day, I'm all for enforcing reasonable noise limits on track. When exhausts are that loud it actually hurts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When exhausts are that loud it actually hurts. And yet most tracks completely ignore their noise limits in order to have the F1 at their facilities. F1 cars, even after their turbocharging, are still well into the 120's or even 130's. I remember the monumental headache I had after a day of F1 at Silverstone many years ago, although I believe that was in around 2008, when the cars were significantly less restricted than they are today.

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted February 15, 2017 Well, most circuits have noisy days and let's not forget that F1 cars only race at Silverstone. But your PH day will not be a noisy day. Yep, it does give you a headache. Some circuits like Croft and Goodwood are a bit too restrictive though and that is because of the NIMBY's. Best way forward is to ensure you are well within all circuit noise limits, then you don't have to worry. Doing the standard at the track 3/4 rpm test I tend get 90dB. Loud enough, but not too loud.

Some tracks are allowed a certain number of unlimited noise days per year. For instance Donington gets 20 unlimited race days where they can run anything they like regardless of noise.

TTR 509 Report post Posted February 18, 2017 Visited @Mike@TD.co.uk today to get some bits installed. Also went out in their Turbo 86 (How could I not?). The screamer pipe sounds absolutely fucking demonic, I could not stop giggling! Anyway, I digress ....... The trip to TD ended up with the purchase and fitting of: MTEC Shifter Springs Positive Shift mount Front and Rear subframe bushings TD Brake package Car just feels much more connected now! Brakes have some nice feel too them too, trail braking is much improved! I imagine the inserts are having a part to play in this too. But keen to see how everything will play together on track. Also ordered myself an Anarchy Motive Titan gearstick, looking forward to that arriving so I can add some weight to the shift. Long trip, but well worth the results! 4 Keethos, Ztox, Mike@TD.co.uk and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTR 509 Report post Posted March 5, 2017 Got to seriously recommend the TD Brake Upgrade package. Really lasted well on track today. Had a lot of confidence in the brakes! Unlike some of my passengers haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTR 509 Report post Posted March 5, 2017 So yeah brakes held up decently well today, was also very impressed by the PS4 tyres on the rear. Here's a video of the only no traffic lap I got in my 2 sessions. Shame I squandered it with shit driving 6 Lauren, Minion, HariboPenguin and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I apologise for the dodgy exit out of Luffield But yeah definitely look at some track days (Premium member Blyton Park one offers extremely good value). There's honestly no better feeling you can get from the car when you're properly in the zone! 1 Minion reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
