Donington trackday in February?

[TomM]

Anyone fancy this? There are 4 dates in February, for full days of 20 minute sessions, which isn't ideal, but... £105 is very cheap for Donington :)

I might make it a first outing for my new steed, if I can get the brakes sorted in time :)

Probably so cheap as they are all quiet, road silenced days, boo hiss.

[Jez]

They're 98db days.

I'll be up for testing, I mean a trackday, towards the end of March - need to practise for Time Attack :)

Come to Snetterton Mon 26th March :nod:

[Jez]

Might do - would rather it be a circuit I'm going to race on really...

[TomM]

That's what bungs are for ;)

Or a standard exhaust like mine... :o

[Ghazoobe]

I'm tempted, but I really need to get my cars volume tested somewhere first :)

what turbo, frontpipe and exhaust setup?
We can make a pretty god guess.

noise tests can be carried out at most tracks (if you tell them your thinking a booking a trackday there)

20 min sessions and 1 every hour is a bit regimented :(

I never understand why organisers do this, you only get 2 hours max and some of that will be warm up / slow down time

May be its safer for all cars to do a slow lap together

I thought it was to group together, e.g. novice's in first 20 mins of every hour, intermediate next 20mins, expert next 20mins, back to novices etc.

may be, I still think it sucks :(

I spend a good deal of time at these things fricking around with bits on the car, changing stuff etc, 20mins on, on the hour doesn't really suit that kind of thing :wack:

this would of been good if it wasnt sessioned and it wasnt 98db:(

alternatively for a little more (still cheap for donigton park really)

open pitlane and unslienced :nod:

[SM]

Its fine, especially for newbees or people like Jez with cars that cant do long sessions. Personally I prefer open pitlane or 30 on 30 off sessions, even 30 on 30 off by the time you have filed out onto track, and filed back in its only ~25 max "flat out" time

98db is not that hard, my car pulls 88-90db on one of those static tests - decatted Mongoose :thumbs: you guys with your loud cars :rolleyes: :D

mine was origionally 108db then with a bung in down to 101db ish

then fitted a silenced front pipe, then a slilenced midsection, and with that and a bung i still got black flagged at donnington :eek: but must of been borderline as i went out again and ddint get black flagged :nod:

on my new car though somebody has taken the time and effort to remove all the silencers on the exhasut and weld in a free flow section so i need to buy some silencers and weld them back in :wack: its also got a screemer pipe though which wont effect static tests but ive a feeling places like donington where they have it situated on track and measure it as you drive by on the long straight ill have no chance at all :cry:
