First things first. That Mr Walsh can drive can't he? The way that he swapped between the Noble, a 911, Elise and a totally bonkers 300BHP Supercharged Exige was impressive.

That Exige was amazing. It made the Noble seem so slow. Not the quietest thing in the world though

Right, now the questions :-

Powersteering fluid (I think) pissed around the engine bay a bit. Normal (given the non-pottering-through-the-countryside-smelling-flowers type driving)?

Anyone able to break so hard their splitter rubs along the ground?

Generally the Noble aquitted itself very well. It does sound a bit different now though, but I'm sure those nice boys at Roush will see if there's any issues.

You've found the second "g" meter? Gaffa tape around it, or just bung up the hole for the time on track is the solution.

Completely normal.

On uneven track is entirely possible. Especialy if the cars a bit lower than normal. Either way it shows your trying hard

You might have a bit of a blow developed from the exhaust system.

I second Matt on the exhaust.

Mt last one was blown and it did effect the performance.

Check the near side exhaust bracket to see if it is broken. It is a weld directly ontop of the silencer. If it is, then check the offside pipe connecting to the silencer. Look at the weld and move the exhaust up and down. You may see that the weld is cracked. Caused by that side holding up the whole system if the bracket is broken.

The Manifold to turbo exhaust gaskets also go. Worth checking
