[LoT]Goodwood | Saturday 27 February 2021

[TLF News]

** COMING SOON **

Our opening day of 2021 at Goodwood, 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 32 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.

Noise limit: 98db static & 96db drive by

Noise Limits

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.

Format: Semi open pit lane

Format

A sessioned event means that the day will be structured into usually 3 separate groups which take it in turns to go out on track for a set time, norm ally 20 minutes. Each car will be restricted to their group for the duration of the day. Drivers are generally allocated a group depending on their experience level or type of car.

An Open Pit Lane event means that cars are free to go out onto the track when they choose (providing the circuit limit or our normally reduced limit has not been reached).
