If you're planning on doing a few trackdays you'll probably be better off switching for a quieter system.

If youre only planning on doing track time at shows, then you should be ok as they generally have high limits on show days.

i'd like to do RSOC nationals again, but last year out of the 6 sessions there were, i only managed to get one clean run where the slower cars would actually move out the way.
There's was little to none track etiquette
that being said, it is a cheap day out!

the only way i can describe Fordfair, is like the race from the toll booth on the M6 toll. It's literally every man for himself.
It's a boring loop of track anyway. I'd love to have a crack at the full circuit

Im doing Combe on the 13th May but not sure my car will pass the noise reg as its very loud.

Silverstone dont give a f*ck about noise regs on show days - a few years back i blew all the baffles out of my moonstone 3dr on track and it ended up being one of the loudest on the day and nothing was even mentioned or flagged

Am I right in saying some tracks have static noise tests checks only where others have fly-by noise limits as well like Brands?

Cheers Paul

Yes.
Oulton do a static test before your allowed out, they put a noise tested sticker on your windscreen.
Donington have measurement around the circuit and will black flag you if your car is too noisey.

Juat booked Oulton for 25th July

Just got back from doing a javelin trackday at kendrew Baracks well the funny thing it was only Ł129 so very cheap we did not no wot to was going to be like as it had not been used sins 2011 and it's a airfield track first outing we did not think much of it as it was very slippery and no grip . Well very slowly it got better and better then the rain come down well it did go a bit slippery but we went out to have some fun . And fun we had till it dried up then the track got faster well till I ran out of talent and my car turned into a lawnmower lol but it all ended good and we will be going back again this year

I went to Pure Ford at Combe a few weeks back - was a great day.

Was looking to do RS Combe as that is cheap for a whole day there but dont think the car will be on the road

On Saturday we did kendrew Barracks . It was a airfield track but I must say we had a good time it had not been used by javelin since 2011 . The price was spot on Ł129 all day and there was only about 25 cars there so spot on . And as of last night we have booked up to do Bedford with MSVT Ł169 and iv booked a instructor for 30 min for Ł25 very happy with that . The date of that one is The 1st July on a Saturday . If this link work it was filmed by a Subaru that was behind me .

Had a great day at Oulton Park on Tuesday, car ran without issue all day. Weather was great.
Didn't lift the tool kit out at all.
Used about 100 litres of super on circuit
Sorry didn't take any photos

I must of had over half a dozen people at least throughout the day, come over and comment on not seeing Cossies anymore and chuffed to see one actually being used properly.
Makes all the effort more worth while keeping it running.

Just seen this topic. Thought I’d drop a few I’ve done. Mainly do Cadwell park and donington Park. Didn’t do any sessions at Ford shows or even bring the fiesta. Was at autosport tho in Jan.
