A little OT, but thats not entirely true.
Thats because sound is accumulated into 'baskets' of loudness versus (or x) time.
For instance, that same track (Zandvoort) has held a full DTM race and also historic races which have some very loud cars. Some weekends have special permits or are called 'sound days'.
So, x sound levels during x time (or instances you pass the mic) determines how much total loudness is allowed during a day. The total sound level during an event is what is 'sold' to an event organisor.
All sound added in a year is the limit of their permit. Obviously they didn't want to 'spend' it on our little meaningless track sessions.
In other words, if I had been allowed to continue driving, another event furtheron in the year could have cancelled.
Its a little stupid as furtheron inside the track, 1/4 mile runs with open exhausts, drifting, 'Ghymkana' and bike burn-outs were held, all being much louder then my car. Unfortunately, only the TimeAttack cars drove past the microphone that day...
