well im not sure anymore but i first thought noise restrictions were only going to apply to the aston martin DBR9, and the porsche GT3 RS/RSR's.

but after reading some of the comments on here, it is likely all of the naturally aspirated engines, bar the corvette and saleen V8's will be noise restricted.

although the turbo cars will remain unrestricted, there is no lovely gruff sounding dallara nissan turbo anymore.

is there any official word on what cars will be noise restricted next year, maybe a list of cars from the ACO that will run with silencers, and cars with straight pipes?
