No worries mate, there'll always be another time :thumb: I would strongly suggest getting your brothers R33 sound tested before you book and pay for the day, I've just seen/heard too many problems with GTR's there to take it for granted. They vary their noise limits so double check the limit on YOUR day.
The main reason we booked Snetterton was that this is our 'home' circuit, ie, this is where we hold our monthly meets. As the club grows, I don't doubt we will be able to organise meets in other areas too. We have booked Snetterton exclusively although in honesty we will have to sell spaces to other clubs to fill the day (based on firm bookings so far)
Dunk and I have expressed a strong interest in driving Donny as soon as we can and I'm sure there will be plenty of others interested as well. Please keep us posted, I'll be interested to know how you get on.

Bedford is fairly strict on noise.... i hope you all pass the noise tests.

I have driven all of the circuits there in variety of single seaters, integras, caterham, lotus, audis etc.

There all okay and have huge amounts of run-off but none of them were that inspiring or memorable. Nothing like getting Richies absolutley right or nailing the Bombhole at Snetterton or getting Charlies or the Gooseneck spot on at Cadwell.

They do actually use the woodland bit, done it twice. More importantly, we are trying to organise something at Lydden as we speak :thumb:

And we have all decided on bedford

Did the west circuit a couple of weeks ago and it's a nice section of the main circuit.

I fitted a 'quiet' Revolution exhaust system to my Impreza purely because of the noise issues at places like Bedford, Goodwood, etc. It was 93 db at the static test so well within. Got black flagged in the afternoon for excess noise and ended up having to turn down the boost, fortunately this is easily done with the AVC-R controller.

A lot depends on weather conditions and prevailing wind direction. I've been round Bedford before with a Magnex system that was 98db on the static test and not a problem.

HTH but have fun whatever you decide.
