im not to clued up on trackday sessions, but why was you getting black flagged and having to slow right down as you did?
exellent footage btw

My car was too loud. They have a drive-by noise limit of 98db, which is measured by microphones situated at various points around the track. I was fine until the last couple of sessions of the day when it had dried out and I was able to open it up!

He made too much noise. The black flag means "you're off, take it easy and enter the pits next time round, let everything pass you and don't get in the way."

ive heard of making to much noise before on track through magazines etc,how come this be,sorry if i seem to be spaming this thread,but its highly unlikly you could be making more noise than a btcc?and so what if the noise is loud?
the more i watch the vids the more id love to take the old girl on track for a couple of laps:D

Local busy bodies who buy houses near to racetrack complain about noise pollution So racetracks have to limit the noise except for a certain number of days per year.

Good report !

I'll write one up later when I get in from work.

Glad the continual spins kept people amused, sorry the last one caused the session to be ended a touch early

good vid pal, i liked the good driving from the guy in the white 306 how he indicated n pulled over to let u pass, if only every driver had a brain like this guy.

I think baby valvers feel like they are working so much harder than you sense from a C20XE.
