Although in answer to how do they get away with it - how does anyone get away with a crime? By not being caught. There are measures in place though: H0504 Procedure - Loud Exhaust Offences Vehicle Certification Agency - 'Many vehicles produce lower levels of noise, and it is illegal to modify the exhaust system of a vehicle to make it noisier than the level recorded for that model at type approval.' Noise cameras and reporting loud cars I would also guess that the 'pop n bang polo' brigade are not getting anywhere near 128dB. Back to the BTCC though - 115dB is in the rock concert level of volume, so more than enough for motorsport. |

I suspect the 8 cylinders surrounded by modified bits would help. I was surprised too when that was the test result, but the tester said he'd done louder road cars.
Hopefully there'll be an announcement, or pre announcement announcement shortly, to get people back on topic, rather than what comes out of an exhaust |

Screeching back on topic, Dynamics lost a lot of key engineering personnel since introducing the FK8 so in my opinion their issue has been replacing those with top-tier engineers, not a cheap task. Unlocking the potential in the car seems to have been a big problem the last 2 years, BTC and Josh Cook figured it out.

Are we 100% sure TD are going to continue?

Looks like HARD is becoming the NGTC retirement home! (They may have had them for a while now but can’t remember seeing them before). |

TD are still active across social media channels, promoting BTCC, Shedden and Halfords as well as registered with two TBLs, so everything points to an entry at this stage.

They also need to refresh there social media, It's as if it is on a timeloop, Resting on the past and nothing new. Even Team Hard have much better social media |

If there’s a plum Seat going at Dynamics shall we start the Rob Huff rumour once again? Gets on well with both Neal and Shedden.

Unless there’s a big paycheck for Huff out of it I’m not sure he’s fussed, though I would very much like to see it. Was actually testing on the TCR UK test day today.
