Noble and TVR trackday

[hexhamhc]

Only three weeks to go until our next joint trackday. We need to get more Nobles there this time! Your chance to see the difference between the Sagaris and the M400 for yourself! Limited availability left just give us a call and join us at this great northern circuit. Wednesday 27th July, £199 inc. Loads of tracktime, limited numbers of cars on track at any one time, technical support, instruction available.
Don't leave it all up to Ian to uphold the Noble honour!! Best regards, Tony

Where's the great northern circuit ?

[JAZ 34]

Aberdeen?

Oops! I just presumed that you'd all know! It's Croft circuit, near Darlington, no where near Aberdeen! It's a flat, quick and technical circuit and it's where Jim Clark raced early in his career! Worth a drive to experience even if you're in Aberdeen. Best regards, Tony

Cummon Guys, don't leave it to me spank the TVR's, I would like some help.

I guess it's difficult for Tony to really sell this on here due to Pistonhead rules. But this is really a great callenging and rewarding circuit.

It would be great to see some of our regular Noble track day possie venture a little further North.

Cheers,
Ian.

As much as I know how good it would be to parade with other Nobles around Silverstone I can't believe that you'll all get so excited about this, but won't build up the enthusiasm to come along and have a go at a proper trackday with a load of other sportscar nuts!! I have been organising and attending TVR trackdays since 1981 and have always been impressed by the number of folks participating. I know that there were a lot of cars at Rockingham earlier this year, but is that it, one trackday outing a year for probably the finest handling trackday car in the world?!!! Or is this the strapline for a funny foreign lager? Have a good weekend and best regards, Tony

Tony, yes iyour event looks interesting but Silverstone is hardly as far to travel as you guys is it?!

[hexhamhc]

I guess it depends on where you live! Silverstone is a couple of laps in a 'snake' following a pace car. Croft is a full day of fun with almost unlimited track time. Having just returned from a TVR trackday held at Zolder, in Belgium, taking in Spa and the Nurburgring on the way, travelling to a trackday is something to look forward to!! Each to their own I suppose. Well it looks like there'll be Ian and myself to uphold the Noble honour!! Best regards to all, and have a good weekend gardening!

I think you missunderstand why we would go to this event.

Your trackday, as well as being nearly three times as far as Silverstone (i.e. 6 times the milage there and back) is, I'm sorry, just another trackday. I have my preference for track day organisers, and would rarely change.

The trip to Silverstone not only allows me to see the development mule for my M14 in action, but also to meet up with some of the other Noble owners that I have got friendly with over the years, and meet some new ones.

Going around the track is just an opportunity, nothing more.

Please don't get me wrong, I also love the 'social' side of owning these types of cars, in most respects much more important than their outright ability! I am just trying to lightheartedly point out my disappointment and suprise at only being able to muster two cars to attend. I had kind of expected that there would have been many owners out there who would travel to experience different tracks, and meet with other folks. This is what I have found over the years of being involved with TVR, and I thought the response would be pretty much the same, albeit with a smaller number of cars and drivers out there. All please enjoy Silverstone, we are encouraging people to attend also. Best regards, Tony
