As per title, I'll be at Silverstone from Friday testing right through till Sunday, old paddock for us this time.

Hopefully to improve on my best 10th place at Snetterton, normal procedure with practice/qualifying and a 45 minute race on Saturday then on Sunday qualifying and 2 x 25 minute races.

Weather is looking reasonable and the car has had some upgrades by Jetstream, big wing now fitted, wiring beefed up, hopefully better boost control with 2 x controllers and a pit lane speed limiter wired to the horn buttons so I can hammer down the throttle in the pits without worrying about speeding or breaching the minimum specified pit lane times.

Also some tweaks to splitter and ride heights, it all should add up to a few tenths and a second here/there and should be another step in the right direction and pestering the front runners on a regular basis! smile

As always would be great to see some Noble owners there so if your around and free pop by, get in touch with me or grant to get a pass and we'll meet you at the gate.

Cheers

Sounds great and the mods should hopefully make a difference. Which rear wing did you go for? Any pics?

Unfortunately I can't make it I'll be trans Atlantic but I look forward to the review posts smile

Good Luck!

Good luck Graham.

I've got to fly a helicopter up to Kilimanjaro and flyover a few game parks on Saturday so I won't be able to make it.

You should get a proper job with weekends off my friend.

Graham, thanks for the schedule link.

Testing going well, few upgrades to the car that I'll post details of later, most importantly down into the 2m 12's in the second session on old slicks and pump fuel. smile

Just got back from watching today's race, so impressed with Graham's performance against such serious competition, from first lap around 14th up to 6th and passing the good stuff, 458s etc, just disappeared with a lap or two to go, turned out to be fuel problem i.e none left smile and all bar first lap without power steering.Will see if i can get back for second race tomorrow.
