Anyone interested in a group Noble trackday to get the year underway?

I'm hoping to have a good group of friends together and it makes sense to get a group of Nobles together to teach everyone a lesson ha.

i'll start a list, if it grows... great:

1) Jamescmr2 (Noble and M3)

Ash - presume you mean Snett on Feb 4th? Is the race car now a G50? Might just wave you through so that you don't get too upset hehe

Tempting, and i certainly need some practice of Silverstone. 2 hours last time was not long enough, and i was dreadful. I put a bit of blame to the RUN FLAT bridgestones some tosser had put on my car before i owned it though.

Only reservation is Goldtrack. I vowed never to book through them again after Brands Hatch in November. They were so shoddily organised, kept allowing people who were shaking down test cars to the front of the pit queue after a quiet "word in the ear" only for them to spin and red flag the track after less than 1 minute. 7 red flags in a damp day (several cars spun more than twice and were still not disciplined) meant so little track time.

not a lot of respect for Goldtrack from multiple people who went on that track day so i think i might pass.

However, it would be nice to feel fast though, without Tux's car there making me feel inadequately powered wink
amazed you've had a problem with Goldtrack, have been on many many trackdays over the last 3 years of racing and found them to be some of the best! never anything like what you describe (which sounds horrendous btw).

cheers

I have not the slightest idea who you are talking about but it certainly isn't us (Gold Track) For the record, we didn't run a day at Brands in November and would NEVER pull that sort of st. (We don't have pit lane queues in the first place)

I don't mean to sound ranty but it's VERY sloppy to slag us off when it wasn't our event.

I have done countless track days with Goldtrack over the years especially Silverstone & Spa, by far the best & best organised in every way.

In regards to the said Brands track day if there wasn't thousands of mini chocolate eggs available when signing on I doubt it was a Goldtrack event & of course Melindi...

I have a feeeling it was a very cheap and nasty trackday but I'm rather worried that anyone thinks it was ours. It's one thing me scarring a man for life but another thing altogether when I wasn't even there.

I humbly apologise and have deleted my previous comments already.
Inexcusable but i have got the names mixed up, i am so sorry.

The budget trackday organiser EASYTRACK was the sh*t day out i had at Brands Hatch.

I have met Melindi and been on a Goldtrack day at Silverstone which was brilliant (apart from my driving ability) and everyone who replied in this thread is right, there's NOTHING bad to say about GoldTrack.

My error entirely, so please allow me to retract anything bad i said about GoldTrack and throw all abuse straight to EASYTRACK!!! do not book with them!
