The normal seat belts are still there but are unbolted from the seat and sit in a pouch behind the seat. Still frustrating they can't be used in tandem with the harness but at least they can be switched easily enough if it comes to it. Since the car will spend a good deal of its time driving to and from track days I decided to go with the official harnesses.
Still a ball ache and better if you have both the belts and harness available. Harness for track use and normal belt for the drive home. I imagine filling up with fuel, get back in the car, fiddle with harnesses and get it all plugged in and tightened up and then realise you’ve left the fuel flap open and then have to do it all again...Seriously though, it’s a great thing to look at, listen to, own and hoon around a track in. 10/10 Pistonhead-Meter rating.
Very happy to offer my services 
Fantastic looking car, I may just venture across to Snetterton to see it

It’s will be interesting too see how it compares to the GT3 !!!
I’m selling my Noble to change to a AMG GTR and the only concern I have is the weight difference, especially on track !
Wow you're going from c. 1,100 kg to c 1,700 kg! I've heard great things about Noble. How have you found it? I had a Lotus 3-Eleven for a while (c 975kg) and every time I got in the GT3RS (c 1,450 kg) it felt like a tank! However, the engineering integrity just wasn't in the lightweight.

I have loved it !! Had it for 12 years and done over 100 track days as well as racing in UK Time Attack , I have totally rebuilt it over the last 18 months ready for this year but I have a very bad left knee and I’m struggling to drive it !!! Thinking it’s time for a change but not sure !,

Wow, your Noble looks epic. And I love how you're using it. Double thumbs up. Thinking it’s time for a change but not sure !,
Thanks 🙏 at one stage was running 700 bhp !
Backed down to 550 now , I was thinking the GT3 is probably closer to the Noble than the AMG but I just love the look of the AMG !! The sound as well !!
Yours looks stunning in the Blue ! They look such a weapon , I wonder if they will suit the bigger circuits like Spa and Silverstone ect .

Look forward to seeing and hearing the Porsche
The Merc is now at home sweet home. Initial impressions? Monster engine (though I'm not a huge fan of the piped in soundtrack); superb ceramic brakes (I like an immediate brake pedal); sharp steering, which starts off light and gets progressively heavier (not as much feeling/texture as I'd like, mind); lightweight feel (honesty, it doesn't feel heavy at all); epic view down the never-ending bonnet (which also makes it tricky to place - thank goodness for the parking camera). Next step? Get to grips with the seemingly unlimited number of in-cockpit settings and options.
