98db - my car won’t make it or would of done it

[Montygt4]

Looking forward to it . Either Fiesta ST or Exige 350 , depends on the weather

Just booked - we're coming with the MG, ticket for the track day was 50% of what we paid for the car, but all the other kit won't make the noise limit

I'll be amazed if the 350 makes the drive by.... or even the static tbh.

Thanks . It is a 98 db day . Suggestions are from lotus forum that be progressive with the throttle and below 5,500 rpm , should be ok . Very lucky to live nearby so can switch if a problem . Fingers crossed .

I was surprised at the last Saywell track day,a Gallardo with a very noisy ,but nice,exhaust
was able to continue all day,but he knew where the drive by sensor was and backed off a little.

There are three trackside monitors,

first midway between Madgewick and Fordwater,
second just before Lavant, both of these are on the left of the track,
the third is just passed Chicane exit on the inside

The first one catches me from time to time

Wow, what a great trackday today - hardly any cars meant loads of track time - never had so much at Goodwood.

Thanks to PH for organising this - my little Mini JCW Challenge faired well out there

Roll on the next Goodwood trackday - the circuit suits these little pocket rockets

Good to meet a few people out there - think everyone had fun and no bumps - which is always a good thing.

Could not agree more . Do not understand why only 16 cars . This is a great day and as cheap as you can get on Goodwood . Track dried out and weather forecast had been stable all week . Really hope Pistonheads did not lose money on the day and put next year in doubt . 800 cars for tomorrow and I say again only 16 today .... come on all petrolheads , get out and support next year !!!!

Another thanks to the PistonHeads and Goodwood team for an excellent track day today. After the sun came out, the track became safe from ice and frost and we had 16 cars out in 2 groups of 8, so loads of space and plenty of time to practice lines and techniques.

The support from the instructor was superb for 2 Goodwood novices so when you add in helmet hire, expert tuition, lunch, tea/coffee and 2 drivers for just over £200 is good value in my humble opinion.

I for one will be back next time at Goodwood.

Thanks team.

Was yours the white one? You were flying! One of the only cars that caught me in my Civic. I was going to try and stay with you as you went past, but I was running out of fuel and losing power on the righthanders.

Fantastic day! Thanks for putting it on! Apologies for running out of talent at the chicane and spinning 😂

We’re there any photos taken during the day? Apart from Chris Teagles of course!

Hi Alex - yes indeed it was white with black stripes - it’s one of the JCW Challenge editions which is very track focused - plus it may have been running a few more horses with a Racechip

Thanks Pistonheads for organizing the track day - great day with lots of driving time and fantastic bang-for-buck adding in the lunch and the fact it's Goodwood. Also much appreciated the goodie bag.

Unfortunately we had to stop 2 sessions post lunch, as our shed (aka the MGZT) started to develop clutch judder and inconsistent shifting - probably banged up some motor and/or tranny mounts.

Also a thank-you from my other half, who very much appreciated the gentlemanly driving of all participants whilst doing her second track day.
