Why did i have to book a holiday for May.

Have to wait untill July.

Daipac · Feb 2, 2004

My birthday a week later in May so that is definitely a good option for me ! Either one actually !

Jas · Feb 2, 2004

Jeremy, can I bring a 16v or does it have to be 172.

dk · Feb 2, 2004

Do you drive your own car on the track or one of Renaults?

CocoPops · Feb 2, 2004

Jas - I think it says you have to have a 172, cup, 182, spider or V6, at least a "RenaultSport" car to participate?

RS-Steve · Feb 2, 2004

Jeremy Townsend · Feb 2, 2004

Currently it has to be a Renaultsport car. You drive your own car on the track, plus drive one of the Cup race cars and then are driven in either the 182, V6 255 or Megane 225

Roamer · Feb 2, 2004

Hmmmm Ive put my name down....... I think Id better grab a sound meter and see what level my exhaust is :S

Jeremy, can you get the noise limit and test distance from the Autodrome guys please?

Jas · Feb 2, 2004

damn, and I wanted to thrash the 16v round and show up a few 172s

Roamer · Feb 2, 2004

That is my intent too Jas

Jas · Feb 2, 2004

Nah, even though you have throttlebodies youll still be eating my 172 dust, lol

Jeremy Townsend · Feb 2, 2004

Please read the following carefully because if your car, at any time, exceeds our noise limits you will not be allowed to drive it on our circuit.

At Bedford Autodrome we have two noise tests. First your car will be subjected to a static test, in which the noise level is measured 50cm away from your exhaust pipe with the engine at 75% of maximum rpm. The reading must not exceed 101 dB(A).

Secondly, and more significantly, your car must comply with our drive-by noise limits. The noise emission from your car must not exceed 87 dB(A) measured 20 metres from your car, which shall be accelerating maximally at over 60 mph.

So if I book and they tell me im too loud do I loose my money???

Ive got a K-tech and Viper...anyone know if this will be too loud????

CocoPops · Feb 2, 2004

Just as a guide JT, are these limits close to a standard 172? or a modded decat exhaust etc?

Daipac · Feb 2, 2004

I was wondering, does this day work on a first come, first served basis with limited spaces ?

Lagerlout · Feb 2, 2004

Ive put me name down... does it matter that Ive never been on a track before???

aaronc · Feb 2, 2004

Such a shame us valvers cant join in..............i think its cause we might give the 172s a little scare......

specialK · Feb 2, 2004

when we (and Renault) did the trackday for 16V and Willys none took part, so maybe you lot were scared then ?!?!?!??

jon_r · Feb 2, 2004

Will we get confirmation of getting a place? - Only shotgun cos I e mailed at 3:30!

Jeremy Townsend · Feb 3, 2004

Leaving your details just shows that youre interested. We will email all those who register with further details and how to book.

VX-Tony · Feb 3, 2004

Ive been on previous Renault track days, do I have to re-register or will I still get the invites like I did last year? (also, can I pre-book the V6 ride)

Jeremy Townsend · Feb 3, 2004

Youll probably get a letter sent, but to be 100% sure you ought to pre-register, its very quick anyway

Cheers

aaronc · Feb 3, 2004

It was last year, cant remember which one, but it was at Bedford as well !! you were obviously not paying full enough attention !!

specialK · Feb 3, 2004

This has been a drawback of these events in the past - Were in the same situation.

specialK · Feb 3, 2004

Mike - I am hoping that the insurance situation is sorted and they will allow 2 drivers per car now - if not then I shall have to fight him for the car for that day !!!

trouble is I know who will win !!!

telford_mike · Feb 3, 2004

Hmmm, so do I (shes polishing her helmet as I type). Will you bring the scrabble or shall I?

specialK · Feb 3, 2004

lol !!! you better, Ill bring the beer though - if they can drive at the track, they can drive home as well !!!

Swervin_Mervin · Feb 3, 2004

Cant believe its not open to all sporting Renaults. Bah humbug!
