Nurburgring trip

[dmallett]

Yours Dan is pretty dam quiet and your recaro's are comfy

I am going to look at getting some profi spg's at the end of the year, thanks to you

The seats make it livable! You blame me for most things clio related lol.

I think the price of sharing a double room is pretty reasonable

 

[Rhys Beal]

Also, how strict are they on noise levels at the ring? I read 95db which is low for say........Lewis!

Really? I'm sure i saw on 5th gear the other night, one of the chaps took a scooby to the ring and he said they didn't noise check the cars?

 

[Wests Renault]

So I was working out the costs last night....


Ferry - £58.00 per car
Hotel - £75.00 (approx for 2 people per night)
Petrol - £250 (based on 1200 miles @ 30mpg)
Food - £150 (breakfast included with most hotels)
Beer - £50

So cost per person approx £465 (based on 2 sharing a car) + laps of the ring

What do we reckon? Sound about right?

 

[dmallett]

Sounds about right to me

Fcuk!

It does say pot luck but that's not worth the risk when you have travelled 450miles to get there. Might be worth taking something like this along http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/car-preparation/jetex-decibel-insert

Not sure if it just clamps on or requires more?!

Also says there are sensors around the track that will alert them, probably gonna have to get something like that i guess.

 

[Rhys Beal]

You certainly don't want a spoiled/wasted trip!

Has your system got a centre silencer?

Nope lol just the rear!

 

[dmallett]

Tape a baked bean can over the end with a few holes in, sure it will work!

Im safe with my 82db or whatever at 5.2k

 

[Rhys Beal]

I have 4 silencers so I am safe too:rasp:

Shame that you will have to quieten yours down Lewis as that is the whole point with your car, it sounds great as is

 

[LewisTaylor]

Haha, well i have a k-tec stealth in my garage, if that hasn't sold by then i'll put that on

 

[Rhys Beal]

What was the db reading at Snetterton last time?

 

[LewisTaylor]

What was the db reading at Snetterton last time?

Don't know, it passed tho lol, will ask at the end of feb and will go from there

 

[Chri5]

Snetterton has a 105dB static limit, but only a 92dB drive-by limit and you never got flagged up Lewis. And the Ring states its 95dB for both!

Didn't think of that, If that's the case then i should be alright although that thing Rhys posted is only cheap, so i might buy that just incase.

 

[dmallett]

Get one and fit it for snetterton to see if it works!

 

[d4vy]

Most of your noise is engine noise isn't it Lewis? :rasp:

 

[Wests Renault]

Sure my diesel won't be breaking any noise restrictions lol

 

[domsclio182]

Don't worry about ring noise limits,just don;t drive like a idiot on the roads leading to and around the ring and you will be fine,still had my yozza decat last year (103 db)No problem's at all.

Would be a good laugh to road trip in convoy and camp together.

EA boys up for camping instead of hotels to save a few quid?

I'll be honest I'm gonna be having a hotel/b&b if I go, would like to be able to relax, gonna be a long drive... But don't let mme influence where anyone else stays

 

[dmallett]

Im also up for hotel. We can still convey etc together

 

[Wests Renault]

Let's stick with the hotel idea then

Was just throwing ideas in the air

 

[Rhys Beal]

I would rather a hotel too but like Lewis said, if anyone else wants to camp, please do not let us "wimps" stop you

Whos 100% coming and how many people are you taking? remove your name from the list if your not coming and put a number beside of how many people will be coming with you.
Ill then contact some hotels find out whos available and the price it will be for us to stay there.
Then we can sort out a ferry.

Date decided earlier in thread 25th - 28th of May.

 

[Chri5]

Im definately going BUT Im not sure if I'll be there the whole weekend, me and my mate may head on to somewhere else for the following couple of days, not too sure yet. So dont want to commit to booking everything up with you guys and then have to change it about

[dmallett]

Havent even looked yet as waiting on numbers lol! May have to change our plans haha.

 

[Rhys Beal]
