Last track day of 2014..mondello

Postby leamyj » Fri, 26 Dec 2014 6:12 +0000

As the title says, next Tuesday December 30th, only €99 , 11am to 3pm , registration around 10am. Hope to go myself, just hoping that the day will be half decent weatherwise. Any takers?

The Ferrari had to short shift on the straights to keep the noise down. Its a good bit quicker than mine.

I think you mean, that GOOD!

It's loud alright, but I think there were louder civic's out that day. IMO a flat plane V8 should get a few extra Db's for quality over a 4 cylinder!

They did test anything loud. It wasn't just the Ferrari.

Is it just public track days they test for noise, I've done a few but have been private days through a club or invitation and never seen them do a noise test.
Also great video.

I heard they had noise complaints from a neighbour, which went to court. That last day was the 1st day I seen them testing. I never seen them testing before, private or public but they always mention noise in the briefings. The noise levels don't seem to be as strict as the uk. There are still some great sounds on track.

I wonder was the fact that they lived next door to a racetrack a surprise to them that noisy cars/bikes might be on it!! Some people!!

Yep, I was there all day... a black 98 mk1, was one of the best days I've ever had at mondello, the track was very tricky and certainly kept me on my toes..had some scary moments in turns 1 and 3 , but thankfully nothing too serious.
