A fool and his money..... Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Loud pipes save lives people. Just another step on the road to the island becoming less tolerant by the year. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 13 hours ago, Amadeus said: There are rules but apparently they can’t even reliably measure sound levels because the bloke at the DOI who knew who to use the equipment has retired. That’s what was said when this topic popped up a while ago. This whole new debate came about not because of responsible sportscar or motorbike users, but thanks to Ford Fiasco driving boy racers with their shitty cherry bomb exhaust, fitted in the testosterone filled hope of impressing the local female population. Unfortunately the female who heard it was 76 year old Gladys down on south quay who phoned the police, the council and her MHKs. There is no need for anything new. Just tell the muppets in their shitcans to calm. How very dare you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-lane Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Apparently the sport cannot exist without noise: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-ready-to-consider-different-engines-from-2030-in-push-for-more-noise/10611063/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 As much as I like EVs and electric motorsport, the noise does form part of the fun. Maybe future generations will be ok with spaceship sounds but I’m not. Tried a few electric BMWs recently. The i4 M50 does a good job of simulating engine noise but the i7 with its Hans Zimmer soundscapes was just stupid. When driving electric no noise, but when watching motorsports it has to roar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I am surprised there hasn’t been more accidents concerning the lack of noise from electric cars . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
