mgbond said: Shaun,
What was going on with gear changes, on the straights it seems it popped out of gear a couple of times?
Bondy No popped out gears, into 6th a quite few times the clutch kept slipping perhaps due to extreme heat & stick, the footage was around the 8th or 9th lap maybe, impossible to come in with that amount of quality on track at that time, once Baz went off then took on the 4.0 RS for a few laps then he had mishap. Usually do 6 laps then come in for refreshment! He said he was giving it everything but couldn't shake the Rocket off then came a cropper. There was a few times he went wide I backed off a tad just in case he veered back on into side of me in the end flew off like a Meshersmidt being hit by a shell  Driving up M1 later all was seemingly fine & a savage blast to Bruntingthorpe from upto n from Walton clutch was sound again...

Ta Chris, yeah I think it was, there were also Ferarri Corse FF what ever they are, had a few epics with them two during day aswell plus a Carrera GT that I assume Kenneth Dodd or Barlow was driving

I have to say that I think the Juno is probably a bit quicker if it was a clear track but it is a race car. I was also very surprised at how quick the GT3 RS 4.0 was against a 600 Nob. I do think he was a bit pressured and surprised how close the noble was getting, so much so his talent ran out.
Bondy Foul Mgbond , tut tut . I wasn't pressured My tyres were shot , I was cooling my brakes / tyres planning to go back in . When I finally saw some fast cars fly by me ( you can see me get overtaken earlier in the video obviously on a cool down lap )I couldn't resist it and made my way back to the noble the tyres were already to hot . It was a miracle i lasted as long as i did .Nevertheless , it was a great session and I very much enjoyed the drive with the awesome noble ( I was the driver of the black panzer btw ) daddysumo said: Loved every second of that !! Most especially when the 'painfully slow' noble road car on road legal tyres showed the Baz mobile Juno (on slicks I have no doubt) 'race car' with 'proper downforce'and a proper driver just how 'painfully slow' they are, by overtaking it!!
Hope you waved as you passes it Shaun !
Great footage with the GT3 RS... was it the 4.0 super quick version as it had some grunt down the straights ?
Look forward to the next installment... For what its worth , I think the noble would probably be even faster if driven slightly differently . What you are seeing is not actually my grunt down the straights( when I was behind the noble seemed faster if anything ) . The noble is imho going into the corners too fast ( hence appearing to catch up to the gt3 every time ) what's actually happening is I am going into the corners in classic Porsche slow in fast out fashion .so while the noble is still struggling to hold a line I'm already flat out from the corner and pull away into the distance . The frightening thing ( for us panzers at least ) is driven slightly differently ( more like the 911 with a slower entrance ) I think the noble may actually have the legs on the 4.0 ! Much respect to the noble massive and bloody well driven to the pilot . shaunsmith said: daddysumo said: Loved every second of that !!

Look forward to the next installment... It was fun I give Baz his due he can proper drive & sure we'll lock horns again soon hopefully Yep, it was 4.0 RS it was very quick with same bhp as me. The other GT3RS's don't compare to that Beast, very impressive car for a Waffe. One of the highlights of the day & funniest, shortly after them laps I went to the Porsche Kennel in 3C. Breathed in & chest out stood next to the 4.0RS & voiced "who's is this Black RS?" the full Waffe garage was in silence for 5 seconds as no one would own up & I was dying to laugh... Then I said "I'm in the Black Noble..." For the first time I can remember ever the Waffe mob proper praised the Noble all round not just mine but you lot too. I left with a quip stating "The 600 Boys are 'back in town' during the Summer". Again silence was bestowed on the Kennel yet again  It does seem though all your work, persevearence, heartache has paid off, getting these cars to where they are is starting to get noticed, well done lads... Was great to see you Shaun , we all had a laugh at your arrival to our pits . We had a few complaints for some reason or another in the day and as you saw I was a little reluctant to admit " fault " if you get my drift . It's a very nice surprise to talk to an enthusiast and makes a change to not get moaned at ! Just one thing , many of us panzer drivers love nobles . We love the purity and single minded , disciplined , weapon like purpose of the things . Like Porsches of a bygone era . Again I congratulate you on such a fantastic war machine , you and the mclaren were the fastest road cars We saw all day and so very well driven it was a joy to behold . Take care noble forum ,I'm off back to the Teutonic portion of ph

Take care noble forum , b All your faces were a picture for them few seconds & was a class moment Awesome bit of kit the 4.0RS especially in black, the Noble is a completely different beast to your car or similar on track & different techniques are applied tracks to like Silverstone, not sure the Porsche technique would work. If you have owned a Noble you'd understand. What do I know I just go flat out & don't like braking Anyway top blast & look forward to catching up soon. Out of all the Waffe in attendance your driving n car was outstanding apart from you beng shelled by a Noble sniper in the deserted Grangstands at the end Seemed near telepathic during duel as there were some derisory driving by many throughout the day a lot more than usual. Again 'Awesome' track weapon the 4.0RS, Rematch in the Summer. You think mines a bit quick there are around 10 others that make mine feel like a old Zepher..... Thanks for the compliments very unusual us lot get any especially from the Luftwaffe boys one day we all may have a beer together in Spa or Ring, regardless we'll still try & give you all a pasting & certain you will us. All good fun.  Shaun

Always a pleasure battling that type of lad n banter afterwards. Yep shame he's in the Luftwaffe... Feel a bit bad now with my entrance into there garage although was for fun, but didn't expect a nice set of lads which was a bonus, I reckon there could be some majestic battles over the Summer with them lads!

Shaun great to see you are getting full use of the car !!
hope the clutch is a temporary thing

Don't forget his engine is behind his rear wheels giving him the edge out of the corners. Grr... You buggers are making me want to come out and play.

Near faultless all day & considering the heat which was near intolerable in cab, was as hot as Florida earlier this month, clutch is fine now once cooled down. No idea with 4.0RS but has 500 bhp & goes like stink!!! Baz told me what was in but forgot to remember, it has I think 250 bhp, weighs around 600kg's aero n slicks.

Hi Guys Don't worry I'm still here, just been tea busy catching up at work after a days swanning around Silverstone.Great to meet up with Shaun and we have met and had banter before. Must say congrats to Shaun for the condition and look of his car, awsome! Onto the serious and competitive stuff! Shaun can eat more than me and wins hands down I've got some good video but only just had the V Box Lite fitted so trying to work it all out to upload at the mo! Now firstly we had a great day with lots of respect for each others cars and driving On the first run Shaun said he would follow me, I'm sure he will have tbe footage in his camera if he wants to upload it. This was an early session with less of the corporate M25 style traffic. On this occasion without quite so much traffic the Juno had pulled 20 Seconds over 4 laps. Now I still have to say 5 seconds a lap is still a remarkable performance for a modified road legal car. I don't think there's anything much less than 200k that could worry the Noble. RS 4.0 Very Similar. The Next test was for me to follow Shaun which I did, driving at about 8/10ths you will see the Juno in dirty air sits easily behind the Noble and could pass at anytime. Shaun was really pushing and you will see in the video he really had the Noble on a Knife edge, great peddling and I'm not sure anyone could ring much more out of the Noble. I was surprised that even with our piddling 240bhp that we did not loose more on the straights considering we had a slower exit speed while following the Noble. On the 2nd lap at Stowe I decided to pass even though my corner speed was compromised following the Noble. When the Noble did come back pass You will see as you cheer it was on the right side while I slowed and waited for the traffic in font, this in line with track day and not test day rules I would guess with no traffic and should both cars be able to keep up the speed the differential on this track would be about 8seconds The Juno obviously gets badly hurt when it's slowed in the corners as it takes a while to build up the sipped again due to lack of grunt! I'll copy the you tube link when I finally get it uploaded. On a note of assistance Graham took a good look at the Noble and we spoke to Shaun about heat dispersion on Turbo cars. What we did notice was compared to mine the heat build up in the inter cooler flanges was really high, enough to burn you if you tried to touch them. Is this because they are outside of the air flow being outside of the air box. The pipes were also extremely hot as I guess they are sharing and taking the air from a hot area! I know you will say but you don't track yours, even after a good half hour blat you can touch any part of my inter cooler and only find a luke very luke warm temperature increase! Perhaps what we have done is working to keep temps down! Looking forward to more track days and banter, Video soon and don't forget to ask Shaun for the first char Video, I know he's got it And don't ever think Juno's gone quiet
