Under an hour from Calais and one of the safest circuits we have visited. With as much fun as you could wish for Abbeville is ideal for beginners and experienced drivers alike. With fantastic seaside resort of Le Touquet situated between Abbeville and Calais or the quaint local port of Saint Vallery there are plenty of places to visit for those who want to make a weekend of it.
General circuit information: HERE
Noise limit: 100db static
Static test – A noise meter is placed at a 45 degree angle to the exhaust outlet and 50cm away. The car is then held at 3/4 of its maximum rev limit and the highest reading recorded is the cars recorded noise output for the day. A static limit of 105db is very high and very few cars have an issue with this. At 98db cars with a cat, std factory manifolds and exhausts will generally be ok. Anyone with a very loud exhaust/manifold should be careful.
Drive by – This test is recorded at track side as the car is moving at track speed. Depending on the circuit the reading will be taken between right next to the track and up to 20 meters away. Cars with forced induction tend to have more issues with drive by, even though they tend to pass static tests as the s/c or turbo’s only kick in when run at speed. There are many things that affect drive by readings from wind direction, air temperature, how low the cloud cover is or even what line you are driving.
