for testing the eggy martin

RS2000CUSTOM

I have seen testing advertised in Motorsport News

Will post address/tel number if I can find an advert for you

martinrs500labatts

yes and no,

i need to test both cars for bedding in brakes and just gereral running,

beleive it or not i was even told off at donnington for making to much noice in the pits, when i unloaded the cars, because it was before 9 am lol

as you can imagine these cars have not been used in anger for over 10 plus years and i would like to get some heat into them and get them race ready,

not that i plan to race them, but its no good having somethink if it does not work 100%,

it would have been nice to say to someone like steve scott sunday at donnington here stsve jump in and take it round for a few laps, without having to say oh watch out for the brakes ect,

what is the db's of your cars mate??

there is keevil and hullavington airfields near me that do trackdays

cant remember if they sound test but if they do its between 95-100 iirc

martinrs500labatts

hi,

dont really want to do track days as such, more like testing,

cars are lound and would not pass normal noice tests,

egg about 120

lab about 115


thats why i though an airfield might to my best bet,

anyone got any ideas, or a bloody big private road they can let me use!

COMEDY DAN

Bruntingthorpe is around Ł250 for the day for a single car .

Group bookings can bring the car price down to as little as Ł60 or so per car.

Rhys

Would to have lo ed to seen the Tex one flyiong around at Nat day


Why dont u ask performance ford if they would tie it in with a feature? ;

martinrs500labatts

no mate, been there done that.

bruntingthorpe sounds the best bet any contact info, and allthough i have been there before where abouts is it again?

rsjp

all circuits are controlled by noise conditions ,even brunters has one think its 98db, you would have to got to a general test day usually around Ł300 for the day

martinrs500labatts

do brunters do gereral test days jp?

CozzyBrom

martin dont like brunters beacuz he carnt drive in a stright line with out falling of the runway

rsjp

not to sure i will find out for you, donnington do general tests but it s a bit far away for one day

martinrs500labatts

yer very funny, lol

you i take it have never spun a car before!

atleast i get back in the saddle,

thanks jp,

there was an airfiled that i have been to before near bristol, where we did an rs500 track day meet, anyone know it?

Rab

Knockhill has no noise limit. It's in the middle of a field.

Downside, the field is in the wettest, coldest bit of Scotland.

martinrs500labatts

Rhys

Steve i dont think its that many days at donno!! And it hard work getting the day booked as they are only allowed a certain number of days a year etc and they all book up quick. Thats somthing i pick up of one of the threads but not sure which one

martinrs500labatts

However, if in doubt get the car tested prior to booking an event, you are welcome to visit any event of ours for a test. If your car is too loud for a particular track, fear not, we can hire you extra silencing equipment (subject to availability).
