Thats two tickets tickets for me.
Paid for my ticket. Will sort out the track sessions next week. Anyone know the best place for a helmet? Im assuming we need one for when we go on track?
Yup, helmets are mandatory!
Open faced helmets are great for in car track days. loads of vision!
Still here somewhere........
Helmets aremandatory. Just found out that the noise limit this year is 100 dB. Usually measured one metre from the tailpipe at 45 degrees, with the revs at about 4500. Mine passes that easily, as will most.

Need to find a local bike shop and try on some open face ones. A few available for 20 quid on ebay
Just paid for my ticket and both track sessions. [Can't wait to sit on the stand!]

My full 3'' system, Fujitsubo, decat and downpipes measured 86decibels last year
Wow that sounds like a low db for that set-up. I've got stainless full 3" with downpipes, decat and only 1 very small straight-thru back box.. it's loud. Might get a sports cat in March to squeeze thru the MOT which will kill it a bit.. (I'll bring a load of wire wool in caseWhy?

I used to have Wodj's old quad sytem which was way quieter and that measured more than 95db at Coombe a couple of years ago.. and this is way louder.
And mine!

I bought an open-face helmet from eBay for £19 and its good enough to use on track. To be honest, I think most helmets would be suitable in this case. Nobody is driving with a full rollcage and brace etc. Nobody here needs the multi-million pound invested hi-tech helmets.
Driving out on track at Castle Combe, a £15 Lidl helmet is just as effective as a £45 one from a reputable manufacturer, and they would be as effective as a £200 designer motorcycle helmet.

thats 3 birthdays now, beers on everyone else then (or be it tea's)
I'm a bit worried about the 100db as well. My have to take the bung with me & stick it in for the test.

One stand place please Mr Mann
im interested in attending (if i can get the car sorted). but im not sure if the wife will be coming with me or not. she might be working that weekend. but she has given me a two day pass, to go to this, if she is working.
is there a cut off date for ordering the tickets??? if so, when?
You can get entrance tickets on the way in on the day if needs be (at full price of course).
The issue will be if you want your car on the CVR4 stand. This is first come first served and there are 30 spaces and about half are already gone. To get a space you need to pay for at least one entrance ticket.
3 tickets + 2 track bought
I'll hide the car behind the gazebo
