Went to the VSCC Pomeroy today, and watched them noise testing the vintage crews. It consisted of a microphone shaped decibel meter gaffer taped to an extended car aerial. This was held at the end of the exhaust, one end of the aerial at the pipe, the other in the guys hand..
What I found most sad was the fact that Silverstone is the home of FiGP and has been for years, so if it was done to save the villagers it was a bit late..!!
I assume it was simply to please the MSA..
It all seemed a bit farcical really. Most drivers held a constant one third throttle for the test and then roared away in a cloud of noise and Castrol R fumes..
