Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
31 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

From the 911uk site but the more the merrier I'd say. Also looking for a 918/CGT or two to turn up as a nice cherry for the cake? Anyone interested? Already have 42 cars
http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=97711&postday...
Date: First week of March
Venue: Top Gear Test Track - Dunsfold air strip Surrey (where the middle classes call it 'sorrey'
Price: £295 per car.
Each car can have 1 passenger who can also drive. Therefore the price is per car, not per driver.
Sadly no spectators (other than the passenger) allowed. No admittance on the day.

Is this something that happens often or a once a year situation?
Think there's 4 events over the summer. Contact [email removed] who runs the VMAX events with Craig.

Quite wise old bean. Imagine the shame of Porsches latest and greatest GT3 having its doors blown off by 993, 996 and 997.
Penny pinching over £395? Really?!

I actually think when I saw the price it just made realise I dont have any desire to try and max out my car and would be better spending it on 3 trackdays.
I would have much preferred to drive just the Top gear track instead.
Does any organiser offer this?

You wont max it out anyway as its only a 1 mile runway. Don't quote me on this but I think theres a bit more to the day than just the runway!
What track days are you going on? Brands GP and Silverstone GP with a decent operator are circa £400
£395 to drive in a straight line?!
You can take the tunnel, stop for moules and frites in Bruges, buy your other half £100 worth of chocolates, drive on the autobahn, spend the night in Hamburg, drink a load of beer and curry wurst, do another trip on the autobahn, visit Reims and get home with money left.
Yeah...

just a good track day
Oh OK, thank you
I wondered about Bedford because the DB level is 101 and Im running a bypass exhaust.
Oulton was 105 last weekend and I didnt have any issues but id hate to be restricted having made the trek down there.
It was funny at Oulton because the sound guy asks me what does it red line at and as soon as I said 9000 I realised I could of said anything as he probably doesn't hear 9000 much and now he wanted me at 75% of that for the test.
Oh well, I hit the accelerator and the rev limiter stopped it at 4k rpm LOL

My exhaust is also 105 dbs and I have had no issues at Bedford. If you do get too close you soon know where the sound sensors are and short shift near them. For £130 it's an affordable track day and well organised with long run off areas in most places. Marshals and staff are super friendly. It's a good track for slightly quicker cars like yours as is their west circuit

Thats good news as i was wondering about noise levels with the sharkwerks as its quite loud at full chat although i believe Oulton to have a fairly noise friendly attitude...... Bedford are really anal with noise but they used to be pretty good track days allowing controlled drifting etc but the last time i went (2012) the track had loads of debris on it and i thought the surface wasn't in great condition, to top it off they have stopped the fun factor when out on track.... Said i would never spend my money there again!
Silverstone and Spa are for me

My favourite memory of Bedford is in a Clio cup car with a sequential box doing 100 mph really long four wheel drifts
Hmmm was that 20 years ago??

My 7.1 GT3 with standard mufflers is marginal at best for a static test at Bedford, I need a friendly noise tester to pass. Drive by on the SEN circuit is fine though.
