Bookings from 25/2/2021 – Strictly LoT members only
A visit to the UK’s Premier circuit – Brands Hatch GP.
The days we’ve had over the last few years have run so well that we’re keeping the same format. The day will be split into 3 x 20 minute sessions per hour. There will be one group for “Lotus on Track” members, a 2nd group for MSV the circuit owner and the 3rd session will be taken by another sports car club. We will be responsible for the LoT session. If all runs to plan, as it has done every year you will drive 7 times during the day.
Trailers & Support vehicles will not be allowed in the GP paddock but will need to be held in the outer paddock, where you are more than welcome to run from. We will have track day support provided for LoT members.
Sessions:
Lotus on Track – 2 seater sports cars only (no one with a competition license of any sort)
Another club like LoT, MSV the circuit owner
General circuit information: HERE
Noise limit: 101db static / 92db drive by
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.
