I'm noticing a theme here. Going to have to disappoint you. Might need a co driver to tell me what corner is coming up ;-) Not sure #64 would pass the sound test. 3" Tullet exhaust???

You may not have much torque Joe but having double my bhp will help.

Naaa only 240 at the fly! If you're only 5 mins away get it sound tested at anytime 3" tullet on a turbo should be fine tho :£

[The Batman]

Yeah usually can rock up or ring first I know Bedford do it practically anytime

How strict are MSV with 'full-face' helmets on convertibles? Mine is open face..

[The Batman]

I imagine pretty strict, don't you just have to keep soft top on and it's ok?

I don't really fit with a lid on and the roof on (iirc.. it's been a while #racingdriverexcuse).. A test fit will be required! 

[The Batman]

Top tip, when you are test fitting to see if you fit in the car with roof on and helmet on, it's a known fact that you have to make car noises and pretend to be overtaking people and using a fast and furious gearbox

Probably not an issue on a cold Feb track day but last time I was at Brands they insisted that arms and legs were covered, although I think this was more of a LOT rule than an MSV one. I'd wear a long sleeve t-shirt to be safe and full face if you have one. I'll be the one looking like a right twat wearing my race suit but in a car with no windscreen, doors or roof that I can't even drive in normal shoes it makes sense...

Long sleeves is a rule I'm used to, but requirement for full face lid is a bit of a faff..
