Hello Rapidos.
Yes I'll come probably,
I still have a free ticket for 1 hour from last year.
I booked for two hours but after one hour I had gearboxoil everywhere on the rear of the car.

Are you not affraid with your 70mm exhaust for the noise ? 95dB !!

Hi Rapidos,

If all goes as planned, I will be there the 7th. Me and a friend (Porsche 911) entered for the Circuit Experience course in the morning. So we'll probably be around in the afternoon too.

Grzz,
Rene

Perfect guys !!! So we could be 9 speedster !
Even with a race exhaust on the turbo, you stay below 95 dB.

See you there.

One week to go and my engine is still out of the car

I should fix this small detail this saturday, hoping everything will be done on time

It was nice to see you guys...but short !
Black flag.... 99.3 dB

They take the noise at 2 different points on the track.
You just have to lift the throttle when you pass those 2 points.
One after the 'kanaalbocht' and one coming over the tunnel.

I did a 1'57 lifting at those two points before ending with no brakes.
Pedal to the floor and no brakes at all

!!
Very lucky I was not to damage anything only lot of stones under the floorpanel.

Very frightning moment ending in the grindbak (engels?)
Brakefluid have to be renewed every year I think !?

I don't like this track and this was probably the last time.
95dB limits!!!!!

even a standard lotus elise was black flagged for noise.??!

Ouch ! You were lucky. One (good) solution is to replace your brake oil with Motul RBF600. It works well. I don't see the point to lift up the throtle on a track were you are supposed to push... If I can not solve my noise problem easily, I will not go anymore neither... Nice to meet you there

Next time we take the time for beer... Can you come at Spa next Monday ?

Only 4500-5000 tr/mn but it gives an idea

I was their too, i took my renault clio out on the track between 17.00 and 18.00 before changing him for the speedster the day after

. The trick is to shift if you pass the point where they take the noise. (it's just after the Bianchi and not the "kanaalbocht").

rapidos · Bericht door **rapidos** » 15 mei 2008 15:27

Yep, I think I will try that ,but it's not fun... Can you put by anychance a picture of the track indicating where they take the sound, for the community...

Rob · Bericht door **Rob** » 16 mei 2008 6:58

Here you can see the position of the 2 soundpoints. The 1st is visable when you are on track (near the wooden trackmarchall house). The 2nd is not visable on the track.

Thanks mate ! I will test it again next month with throttle 0 at those points...
