Our final day of the year at one of the last remaining classic racing circuits of the UK – the layout unchanged from it’s heyday in the fifties and sixties.
We’re running the day in semi-open pit lane format as we have for many years – rather than put you in set groups you can queue up when you like. For those who haven’t been to Goodwood they basically drop the chequered flag approximately every 15mins so the queue keeps moving. The circuit limit is set at 10 cars while we will book a maximum of 35 cars on the day so things will move quicker than running strict groups.
The day includes a meal package for each main driver. The package includes: Exclusive use of the Jackie Stewart Pavilion, including lounge and dining area with decked terraces overlooking the Paddocks and Pit Lane. Tea & Barista Coffee Service throughout the day. Bacon rolls upon arrival & Lunch. (This package is included in the prices below for main driver booking the day. If you have guests it’s possible to buy an extra ticket when booking the day or by letting us know 1 week before the event.) The Aero Café will still be open all day for anyone visiting.
General circuit information: HERE
Noise limit: 98db static & 96db 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.
