Think noise limit was 105db at 4500 revs that's. What I was told to hold revs at weather was not all that good but we didn't let that stop us is quite far to drive from London lol

Yeah 105dB. Weather's always risky,especially around this time, I drove to Knockhill last month only to find it covered in snow and obviously cancelled, not ideal

I thought it worked quite well, track etiquette was really good by all drivers and considering the very mixed weather conditions there were only a few offs/red flags.
Remeber there were alot of quick cars out there yesterday and it was your first time on track which is always abit crazy lol

I kept getting hounded by those pesky caterhams!
Ben they do the test on every car before they alllow you out, its 105db MAX at 3/4 of your maximum revs.
Mine was 100db, 3 inch system with 2 boxes!

I thought the "just use your indicators and pass on whatever side you want" rule was shit, ended up with cars everywhere !
Every other track day Ive been too, they tell you to indicate right and pass on the left !

Was indicate right pass on the left when i went too. Wasnt that busy as i went on the last day december 12th. So was a risk to take but only a hours drive for me so i wasnt too fussed. As far as i know its a good track and i enjoyed it thats for sure, and yer ben as said above. 105db at 3/4 your rev range and they test everyone when your cueing on the pit lane to get out on your first lap. Tell them it only revs to 7  haha
