Double header – Maison Blanche & Bugatti circuits. For the first time in a number of years we’ve a double header at Le Mans with a track day on the redeveloped Maison Blanche circuit, now home to the Porsche Experience centre back to back with the Bugatti circuit. For those wanting to take advantage of the double header we have booked a number of rooms at our usual local hotel – MB and hotel options can be found below if required.
Important: This day is being run in Open Pit Lane format. This means cars must weigh between 800kg & 1800kg.
To be clear all Exige, Evora, Toyota Engine Elise, VX220/Speedsters and most other non Lotus types of cars that we accept such as Porsche will be ok. However, as things stand we cannot accept Caterhams or Elise S1. In short your vehicle registration document should state >800kgs and <1800kgs. If you have are unsure if your car is permitted or you have a different type of car and would like to be considered please email Paul.
During lunch we’ll put all the cars on the legendary grid and then do a slow – photo lap with everyone who wants.

General circuit information: Maison Blanche / Bugatti Circuit
Noise limit: 100db 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.
