I always thought Knockhill was able to get away with no noise limits for trackdays, but according to their website they have a 105dB limit - first time I've heard of this and certainly never seen this enforced. I can think of a few cars I've seen on track this year that would struggle to pass that...
Anyone know if they are having to follow the general trend with trackdays down south to restrict the noise?

They would not bother if you turned up with a Concorde engine in an Elise.
Doubt if they possess a decibel meter.

Re: Knockhill noise limits
The website has said that for years, never been enforced.
Re: Knockhill noise limits
Ah, just wondered if it was something new they had brought in without telling anyone. Having been at Bedford last year, they are anal about noise testing, half of the Knockhill regulars wouldn't even be allowed on the premises...

Re: Knockhill noise limits
No worries 
I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Re: Knockhill noise limits
I was thinking more in terms of the Ultimas, at the supercar session earlier in the year they were almost painfully loud

Looked like he was drifting round the hairpin almost every lap, looked like lots of power + skinny tyres + wet track = trickyL111CHT wrote:yep. amazed at how fast he was too. especially on those skinny old tyres!

Re: Knockhill noise limits
Don't think that's a D Type, unless it's a unique body. Still looks Costin-y though, so might be a Lister of some description?

Re: Knockhill noise limits
Definitely not a D-type,looks more like a C-type, but i'm pretty sure it's not - very rarely you see any of them get thrashed anyway (apart from at Goodwood revival meeting) - last D-type sold was for about £2.5 milion IIRC.
Suspect it's a replica or a Lister as per previous post.
