Living next to the Ring we are very often aware of the latest Astons/Jaguar road cars being tested (they sound gorgeous btw) I keep meaning to ask the noise marshalls what db ratibg these cars put out.A couplebof weeks ago I went round in a friebs Honda s2000, mugen engine etal and after a handfull of laps came in only to be told, yet again, that we will have to get the driveby down to 120db for next year, instead of the 140 its currently pumping out.The local residents here couldnt give a stuff about exhaust noise, they know they live next to a race circuit and enjoy living next to it.
Completely different mind set to the moaning brits I suppose.
