Looks like a beautiful circuit in a magnificent setting.
Hey, this is Ottawa. We like our sports facilities to be in the  middle of nowhere! ;D
Check today's Citizen for story and pic.

Wow, pretty impressive for Ottawa. Home of the 10 year old Corolla and Accord and Eastern HQ for tree huggers.

I read the article in the Citizen and they said they are limiting the cars to 40 to 50 decibels.  Seems pretty low to me!

What?  It said that in the paper?  Haha, that's totally wrong.  It is 96db at WOT measured from 50 feet.

Still not very loud.  That would be funny if it was 50 decibels... that would be what? a whisper?  Electric cars only?

50 db is VERY, VERY quiet. 40 is inaudible in the real world - background noise at best.  ::)

This is from the article:

“As part of it’s zoning approval, the track must produce no more than 40 to 50 decibels of noise at neighbouring property lines under the township’s anti-noise bylaw; its zoning must also be renewed by the Township of Greater Madawaska every three years because of residents’ concerns about excessive noise.”

96 db from 50 feet sounds a bit better.


Does anybody know how much it'll cost for a track day?
