That car lives up to its nick name 'rocket'
Great watch!

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...

NIce one Shaun, so the only way the superfast Juno could go past was in traffic.

Watched the whole vid this morning and it was great.

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.

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...

well done Shaun, roll on July trip! wish I was there to join in the fun. Looked great!

Thanks Adrian, it was pretty well matched I have double the power on Baz he has half the weight. Then of course I get in & decimate the power to weight...

To get a proper one on one without traffic would be interesting plus it was very hot yesterday but car performred faultlessly apart from around a 520 spin at Maggots n Beckitts in the morning & a bit of clutch slip later in day but after 9 laps perhaps in one hit wasn't bad to be fair.

Bugger & i've put on weight, will have to get back on the rowing machine!

[R0162]

That has gone straight into my favourites, great driving you make it look so effortless... was that a 458 that got munched up and spat out whist you were chasing the GT3RS?

[951]

Nice one, Shaun!

I was hoping to pop along to say hello and watch for a while, but I needed to drop in to Jetstream on the way and ran out of time in the end.

Sounds like you had fun though!

Ah, that makes sense. The fezza shifted also.

Was great fun to watch. Let's see how a 600 gets on next time.

[mgbond]

Shaun,

What was going on with gear changes, on the straights it seems it popped out of gear a couple of times?

Bondy

[wessexrfc]

Great to watch that, quick reactions @2.48, did he miss a gear??!!! and the Porsche's raggedy line finally caught up with him @ 8.23 true butt clenching moment nice one.
