Leadership Team RogNeedham Posted April 23, 2002 Leadership Team Share Posted April 23, 2002 apologies to all those for whom this topic is old hat..but I'm off to my first (Caterham) track day at Cadwell Park on 27th Apr. Having looked at umpteen discussions on the dB levels of Xflow 1.7 - I've concluded that mine's going to be somewhere between 101-105dB. Is the more important factor the circuit and how lenient, or otherwise, the officials are? Any advice for a rookie is appreciated. Chris at Caterham Midlands sagely advised me not to bend it!!

Paul D Jones Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Never seen noise test at Cadwell and its in the middle of nowhere so only the odd farmer to moan anyway. Paul. See My Car Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Paul is right. Noise has never (yet...) been an issue at Cadwell. One piece of advice I always give novices is to use your mirrors very often. You are sometimes so focussed on where the track is going in front of you that you neglect to give following faster cars the room they need. The result is that they can appear alongside you when you are least expecting it and this can be very unsettling when you are trying to build confidence. Start slowly, come in for a rest BEFORE you get physicaly tired (yes it is very physical). Be very careful during the last sessions of the day. Confidence sometimes exceeds ability just before you are due to finish. A great circuit for Sevens, hope you enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
