Great vid Shaun, and you didn't need much direction from me to get the hang of the circuit! It was a tad quicker in the dry there than it was in the wet in the morning! Laughed right at the very end of the vid when you see the marshall madly waving the black flag at Granty. I was right behind him and couldn't see what the issue was. As it transpired it was for noise not for any driving infringement. Great EuroTour - I'll put a few pics up when I get back to the UK.
It does sound like Concorde & goes like Concorde...

Your car goes extremely well plus have to commend your driving skills. Plus in the wet earlier I was amazed with the pace your were driving at. They say you can't buy experience. Without your help wouldn't have enjoyed it as much, cheers.

Look forward to catching up soon

I was amazed the attention the Nobles attracted in Holland almost like a set of UFO's had landed. Leaving the Zandvoort track they must of been 20 lads all ages on the pavements waiting taking photo's with proper cameras. The Dutch certainly admire our marque & intrigued with all the models especially when 600 + bhp is mentioned...

Hotel was stunning & vast too Huis Ter Duin in Noordwijk thanks to Sumo, were that video was shot. One morning a fluffy, sweet type crockete was available at breakfast, I swear worth going back just for them... smile

The cull of the Waffewagon was like the Millennium Falcon making the jump to Lightspeed escaping the Death Star.
Incredible savagery... the driver of the GT2 must have been suicidal.
Brilliant, impressive picture quality too.

Seems it was a GT3, thought it was too easy to pass in a straight line.
Pleased with the new camera while it worked !
Wound some bias out of the back after the spin...
GT3's don't count unless an RS badge stuck on smile
Perhaps a GT2 would have surrendered aswell especially up Kemmel...

think i'll be easy pickings for a while, its going to take a bit of time to learn how to drive it. does really remind me of the m400 though, and puts the same smile on your face, along with the adrenaline rush biggrin
Just kiddin', is it the variant that came in black, green or orange or the model after them. Has CSL gone?
About time a proper driver in a Waffeschmitt, i'm sure you'll adapt quickly with your skills, on the Ring should be epic... You'll have to give me a head start laugh

Look forward to catching up.
