Noise restrictions are just another pain in the A$$ this country hands people trying to have some fun!
I can well imagine at 8k+ RPM itd be a tad noisy!! And as you said, lifting off/coasting would dampen the day!
SAying that, lifting off would be pointless IMHO as its still quite noisy on overrun!
May have to get a custom bung made! Although ui have read some negative reports about using bungs!
Tell me about it mate, it rules out quite a few for me.
Having said that, I fully intend to get the noise of both cars tested properly as above (I think it was the guy from Bookatrack who said I could pop down to Donington), so I know for sure - there are plenty of people who say they have no problems, so I might be being overly pessimistic!
There are quite a few tracks with 100db+ limits though, some as high as 105db - with decibels being a logarithmic scale, that's a lot louder than 98db! :shock:
I'm looking at Rockingham, Bedford, Snetterton (bit far that one), Cadwell Park (bit daunting!), maybe Oulton Park - all have 101db+ limits from what I've seen.
