For those who enjoy or who plan to experience track-days, take care when booking up, the trend is now that "acceptable" noise levels are being dramatically reduced to around 98db on a fair number of available days on a number of major tracks e.g. Donington and Mallory park to name but two. Many aerodrome circuits such as Bedford etc. have limit way less than this (87.5 drive by) IMHO most of our modified cars will fail this.
It looks to be all part of the Noise management plans that tracks are being forced to sign up to in order to stay in business.
Tracks are now relying more and more on drive by monitoring to police this, even to the extent of photographing the vehicle responsible, often less than 3 strikes and you’re off, no refund no challenges allowed.
Certain "golden" venues seem to fair better such as Silverstone or Brands, but Silverstone is often cost prohibitive and Brands is inaccessible to those of us that don't speak with a glottal stop.
