That is the only info I can find on it but it looks like a low noise limit for most of us at 100db.

i had a search about on Abingdon a while back....

taken from another forum:

[quote]You don't get to hear too much about the airfield circuits options. I, having done one or two recently, can see why.

They offer the driver a variety of challenges but can be a tad bleek dependant on the conditions on the day.

I went to Abingdon in Oxfordshire earlier this month. Given that it was November and I nearly came home with a tan it was a great day. However the next time I went it monsoooooned! all day and the rain very nearly closed the circuit completely. The weather, given that this is good old blighty, should be a consideration. Especially if you drive without a roof.

The issue here is that although the airfield circuits offer a reesonable standard of tarmac in various configurations for the newby, the on site facilities can be, lets say, a little wanting.

At Abingdon, for example, you are using part of current MOD base. There is a chemicle toilet (x1) and a roach coach (Burger van) other than that there isn't much else to do other than drive.

So if you fancy doing one of these days, and the low price reflects what's on offer (

I forgot about this thread!

We may be giving it a go later in the year as it's only down the road from us. :)

Those videos are quite good!
