It's all getting a bit ridiculous. Dr JP should buy that house (where the woman lives who complains the most) and open it up as a B&B for weekend race teams or mid-week testers. On Sunday, I was watching paint dry Rich, but of a different acrylic kind!

The episosde was as confusing as it was farcical. The limit of 118db is easily achievable; I fitted my usual silencer which passes the 106db limit at hillclimbs. I'm sure none of the participants would have had any problem meeting the limit.
One of the bugbears of running a 500 is the need to avoid lots of stopping and starting which made Saturday's episode extremely frustrating. We were all supposed to be tested for noise on the way to the assembly area so the problem should have been dealt with far sooner than it was; assuming there was a problem in the first place which I doubt.
