Noble wins the hill climb and the Pistonheads glitterati are dribbling on about Porsche, making excuses for the 918. Amazing.
Well done Noble for winning and Noble and Aston putting Porsche firmly in their place.
Porsche 10th, "must have been a customer car". Presumably none of the absolute top 10 were customer cars presuambly or worth consierably more than the 918.
You really don't like the 918 do you? Well done Noble for winning and Noble and Aston putting Porsche firmly in their place.

Gordon Robertson runs the Porsche experience centre at Silverstone and while he obviously has experience in driving some quick cars he's certainly no Anthony Reid.
Taking nothing away from the Noble as it's an awesome bit of kit but it's not really a fair comparison is it.

I don't care who was faster than who or whether the 918 should have been faster - I just want to see that Rolls-Royce!
I was there on Friday and there was a purple (wrapped, I assume) Phantom giving it the absolute beans. Never seen a RR corner quite like it, still made sod all noise aside from tyre roar as it went past though! Joeguard1990 said:
If you were there then you would know that most of these times aren't full out because of traffic in front of the cars. If one car decides to take it easy then it affects all cars behind them.
I was at the first FOS and I've been numerous times since. My comment was really for the benefit of those that were trying to read something into the results.SlipStream77 said:

Yes, so was mine haha, I wasn't responding to your original comment.It more more directed to the guy who was slating the 918...

This. The other drivers could have been wearing high heels for all I care, the RR appearing in the top 10 is astonishing.
Now i was watching this the on the live feed the other day and if i remember rightly (and i know its a large car carrying a fair bit of weight) the pitching and lurching from the Ghost was almost comedic. I have no idea how it managed that 6th position as it did not look pretty going round that course.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
