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

Shaun, if by 'experienced' you mean 'ol' fart' - then guilty as charged! Below are some stills of the Noble EuroTour 2012:

Nurburgring GP Circuit - entry from pits:


Lunch break:


Dorint Hotel - great view of the track!


And a brace of titanium M400s in the underground carpark - a rare sight indeed!


Onto Spa-Francorchamps where Graham and I were joined by Grant, Simon, Steve and Shaun..
Notice how the Waffe are trying desperately to blend into the background...(!)


Grant checking that his wheels are still round (or maybe something technical like tyre pressures!)


Shaun and Simon rocketing down to Eau Rouge..


Robp in classic Eau Rouge to Radillion shot:


Zandvoort; Robp taking Shaun (or was it Steve?) for a spin (well nearly) on a very wet morning:


While Grant does the sensible thing -polish his car!


Grant and Robp with their noses in front the Waffe (!)


Epic tour in which I did ~1700 miles with 493miles on track (inc Nordschliefe). Car never missed a beat. Great to meet up with you guys as well. I can feel another Tour coming on 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...
