Thought you might like to know that a very experienced racing driver,(like 31 years) by the name of Mike Gardener has bought himself a M400 to race this year in various race series.His first race in this car was yesterday at Snetterton in the 750 Motor Club Road Sports event.He came second in the first race to a very wide and powerful Morgan that kept blocking him in the corners and then out dragging him on the two long straights.The second race in the afternoon he managed to get to Riches corner in the lead,then all hell broke loose.He drove that car to it's limits and held it there for about five laps creating a lead of twelve seconds from the Morgan. In doing so he set a new lap record for that series of 1min 14.9 which I believe is faster than when Lee raced here last Autumn.He went on to enjoy a much deserved win.The crowd and the commentator know all about Nobles now!

That's great.

What I miss are the videos Paul C and Richard (who both used to race) used to post.

I assume he had an on board camera. Can you get him to post them up or load to YouTube and we can follow him.

Cheers

Bondy
