Re: Trackday at Thruxton

Photo shows me (Yellow Atom) and friend. I was dubious attending Thruxton as on my 3.5 I always registered 92/93 on various meters. However he had driven it before and passed the noise test. So worth a try. Had friendly chat with the guy prior to noise test and lo and behold 90 DB!! both cars. No Ca...

Re: Who’s the oldest atom driver you know

Gonna make a claim for oldest. I'll be 74 in two months time.

First Atom in 2011, this will likely be my last.

Still driving on track, a few of us are driving Spa Francorchamps 21st & 22nd September. Driving heaven!

Re: Silverstone GP cct track day 8th July 2020

Hi
What day are you going to Bedford, We have six Atoms attending there on July 25th

Drive by noise is a slight problem, social distancing required or we upset the damn noise meters

Re: Silverstone GP cct track day 25/3

Great news just been contacted by Silverstone, Matt confirmed my booking, inc garage for July 8th, honouring the March date cost.

Hopefully we'll all get on, as they're reducing numbers by a third

Re: Atom 4 noise measurement reference thread.

Went there 2018 with my pal in his 3.5 and we both registered 90 dba,strange as my readout is always 92/93. Static. Different in the 4, my static at Bedford was 95 and I had the "noise" boards waved a few times, with standard exhaust. I don't think I'd risk a Thruxton track day now, but we...

Re: What slicks people?

Hi

Looking forward to meeting you at Spa on Tuesday, we have garage no. 17 booked, 6 of us in there, I'm sure we can squeeze in one more.

2 of the guys regularly run slicks, I stick to Kumhos, one other is shod the ZZR's as per the 4, interesting to compare.

Re: Spa track day(s) in 2018 - anyone planning on going?

I think they’re using the historic garages
@ same cost as F1
I assume they are sold out, I could only get one for 2nd day
