[Gaz]

Wicked Photos would love to do a track day around donnington, how much was it?

 

[Bluebeard]

95db? thats a bit pants!

 

[Chris n nic]

Yep...apparently there is one particular lady who kicks up a real stink about the noise. As said above the daft thing is when we were stood in the pits having the briefing a plane flew over and you couldn't hear anything yet cars making probably less than half the noise weren't allowed on!

it was 98db limit, yeah the jets taking off its rubbish.Not to mention that the track has been there for years. Its the residents choice to live so close to a race track!
It cost 105quid for the morning session, open pit and free second driver, full gp circuit also.I thought it were a good deal. Letmy mate have a drive as he did most of the work to the car so only fair. Easily pulled away from an exige and a few impreza's, lost out to most round the corners tho, Even with the koni adjustables on it? Wish i had taken the cup round maybe next time.

The pix were taken by a photography company there on the day, 20quid for a cd ofpix... bit pricey but there are some good shots. Saw G40Steve in his trophy, looking good
