i would have fancied this if i was around. had a great time last time i was there. you drove goodwood before? what car your on the track with?
It's my first ever track day so intend to spend the morning listening/learning the trackTaking the TVR.
I went a few weeks back for a noise level test - came out at 104db (limit for the day is 105). And that was at 4200rpm rather than 4500rpm (75% redline). Now have a pair of ACT silencers to bolt on if they complain.

Yup, I'm down for that one. See you there.
which one are you bringing?It should be a cracking day, the first open pit lane event at Goodwood I can remember. I think the only other way of getting uninterrupted lapping at the circuit is to buy a Bizzarrini and enter the Tourist Trophy !

Quite fancied this...but £445 !!! appreciate it is 15 cars, may have to wait 'til Goltrack or PCGB have one in my price range
I’m glad you mentioned that, I was thinking of getting a Goodwood track day in before the Summer ends and when I say £445 I almost fell of my sodding chair!I’m sure Goodwood track day prices are usually a bit higher than others, but am I right in thinking his lordship has massively liked the price for this season? surely that is taking the piss, probably wouldn’t cost that much more for a weekend at the Nordscheif?
Just wondering... how's that open pit lane? 15 cars at 105dB is 5 cars out at once so it's the same as our 98dB days where we take 30 cars and have 10 out at once.
Lot's of track time but I wouldn't dare call it open pit lane.
Very tempted to book a 105dB day but not sure I could muster enough cars at that price.

Thought it was pretty good value. Get an instructor for the first part to teach the ropes. Helmet hire included.

I don't think I've ever paid over £200 for a track day anywhere, including Goodwood - did the Goldtrack day there a few weeks ago (which admittedly should've been £250ish) and got more than enough track time being able to go out every other session if I wanted to.Not to mention free refreshments.
I guess the problem is noise and getting a TVR under 98Db is pretty difficult especially with sleeved exhausts etc. so you're forced to do the 105 days.
Hope the weather holds for you - your first track day in a TVR at a wet Goodwood is hardly ideal
