This was my best lap of 6 on the day from our trip a couple of weeks ago, very confident theres a sub 8 lap to be had next time, hope you enjoy... sorry about the glare from the bright sunshine we got smile and before you ask i didn't know they don't hire out helmets at the ring for my poor passenger. lol

4.05 looks like a brave pill moment.

full throttle in 2nd mid corner can make things very interesting indeed

I like the uphill towards the caroussell when the wheels start to spin in 4th over a bump smile

Great driving Graham, cracking looking lap, you look really comfortable with things and pretty relaxed.

Love the commitment of the g/f sitting there with no helmet on camera duty clap

I thinks there's a deffinate 7.45 and possibly a 7.30 in one of these modified Nobles and over the next couple of years we may well see it.
It will be good for the car to gain a little respect but it all just needs to fall into place with a little luck with the right day, oh yeah and the right driver :-)

Thanks for the compliments smile Sorry about the video quality, it was an HD gopro but the light difference between inside and outside seemed to throw it. My spa footage is far better quality as it's mounted on the spoiler leg/dash. Haven't had time to look through it though.

She is indeed brave!

Good lap, you should breach 8:00 eventually as your car has some pace...

GoPro camera dosen't work properly if mounted behind the seats, best results place the camera where you had it at Spa with the suction mount on the dash.

Graham,

Great lap. I still get the butterflies when watching Ring laps remembering my first time there in the Subaru.

As said at the weekend, and i'm used to quick cars, this Noble is pant sh@ttingly fast. It's like hitting warp speed when it accelerates!

Better camera next time tho eh?! wink
