Still pretty impressive for a "production car" that was apparently driven to the track from the UK!

Ruf CTR Yellowbird being driven on the absolute limit. I'm a nervous passenger simply watching this unbelievable driving.

Does anyone know of any video of quick laps from a Noble in car?

I saw, what I am led to believe was Autocar, doing a lap a few years ago (with cameras attached) in an M400 but I heard it suffered heat soak 2/3rds of the way round.

I wonder what lap times an M400 would do with a decent driver (and no heat soak issues)? Has to be in the very low 8:00s..?

AFAIK, the driver is the chief instructor at the Reem circuit in Saudi Arabia, and his goal on this run was to break his own lap record at the 'Ring smile.

The Radical driver had reactions of a ninja on speed and Kahoona's the size of oil drums. Very impressive.

yellowbird - balls of steel or a complete tw@t ? not sure, but i reckon the bikers on track would have been cacking themselves as he went past.
