i know they have tightened up on the noise regs at bedford over the last 12 months, but does anyone know a csl with std induction and exhaust passes the static and driveby? thanks, alex

Passes static with ease

Will pass driveby if OEM just avoid passing meters with another car.

I did Bedford a few times last year ok but Woppum did get a black flag with full SS zorst once during the year.

There was a CSL at Bedford a few weeks ago.

Yeah, standard you will be fine. SS exhaust or similar and they may do you on drive-by.

Personally, after the way I was treated there last year, I won't bother again. They really have an attitude problem for some reason. My car had a std exhaust back then. When checking in for static noise test the bloke doing it said "You'll pass this alright but we'll probably black flag you later on drive-by because these CSL's exhausts are all too loud". I was a bit taken back by this and told him it's not exhaust it's induction noise and the cars totally standard. He then came back with "don't try and fool me son, it's exhaust noise and they are very loud, I know these things".

I thought, OK, that's not even worth a response and let it go. Then in the briefing, the guy started saying stuff like "watch out for gaggles of CSL's hogging the track in groups".

Then I got cautioned for getting the tail out on one or two corners. WTF is that all about?? In my last few laps of the day I was powersliding every corner I could manage and got black flagged at 4.30pm. Didn't care and was on the way home anyway.

Sorry about the rant. Still pisses me off!!

Can you tell.

ok, thanks for the replies. Been there before in another car and they seemed to ba a bit funny with noise depending on what member of staff you talked too.

Yeah, I probably got the guy on a bad day or something but it's put me off going again and I've heard several accounts of similar issues. Hopefully you'll have a decent day.
