Track days - NOBLE M12
Discussion
Does anyone know where I can find out the noise level of my Noble M12 GTO-3R? I am heading off on my first track day next week to Silverstone and they have a maximum rating of 98dB.
I have asked Noble but they don't know and suggested looking on PistonHeads!!
Please help!!
PS. Is there a NOBLE owners club?

Your best bet (based on what people have said), is contact the organiser and ask them to test your car at an event previous to the one you want to attend. However thats not always practical.
Have you asked in the Noble forum on here?

Track day on next Tuesday at Silverstone through Gold track...
Race it - would love to but may be an idea to get a competition licence first?
Cool - enjoy. Having to go slow and do daft things they require on tracks days will wind you up after a while. Nothing like real racing.Race it - would love to but may be an idea to get a competition licence first?

Racing is a whole new ball game.
The costs can be massively more and whilst it is not a given that you will damage your car you have to accept that the more competitive the championship you race in the more friendly you will become with your local paint shop...
You can get insurance for race cars but it isn't like 'normal insurance. Say your car is worth £80k, you would usually cover any damage over £20k and under £60k, ie you pay the first £20k and the last £20k. You can (i think) get all but full cover but it depends if you want to spen the cost of a new car in insurance premiums over a season.
Many drivers don't insure their cars at all, and many only insure for certain places (races). Chances are an off at Coombe is likely to end up costing more to fix than one at Silverstone!

Hi Alan,
My GTO-3 measured 96db at 0.5m / 45 degrees @ 4500RPM as per MSA regs recently. Standard car with no mods.
Cheers

Many thanks Dave. I was going to check but after Nationwide garages spilt oil over the engine during an oil change, I thought I would do some miles first to burn it off.My GTO-3 measured 96db at 0.5m / 45 degrees @ 4500RPM as per MSA regs recently. Standard car with no mods.
