Shame the guy in the 61 plate red Caterham didn't use his mirrors.
You'd patiently wait on his tail for him to move over, and he'd always jump out of the way at the last minute at the end of a straight, when those law-abiding of us knew it was too late into the braking zone to make a pass.

Didn't stop many of the fast guys in race cars overtaking on corners or wherever it suited.
No real biggy though and glad the road manners of the Noble drivers was impeccable.
P.S. a nod to the Ultima drivers too. Obviously in faster machinery, but patient to wait for a safe passing place.

See Kevin's car going well.
Simon, had you not wrapped your car in Camo Green, others might have seen you
With all those flames I bet you were getting low teens MPG if you were lucky, very cool though
Will try to get to the spring event, looks like I've missed a good one!!!

[TuxMan]

LOL , I was hoping the colour change would help

Kev was flying all day , thinking of banning him for the next time

I know how fast your car is Simon, how come GTO600 and Rocket are so quick?

Is it because you're too busy commentating?!

Carbon front gurney looks cool on vid.

Shame to have missed you chaps. Anything planned over the next month?

[TuxMan]

Hi Gadge , yes SLS race car !!

Scooby , both Kev and Rocket are 2 of the fastest guys in a Noble's !!! They have both helped me massively on my pace in the car but putting it simply they are better drivers !!! I also had a passenger on board which ment I was not quite as fast as normal but no mistaking raw talent which those guys have in the bucket load !!!

wow £335 k - that is quite a lot of money for similar performance to a Noble

Similar to a 600bhp Noble to be clear

Wooooh there, I was just adding to Gadge's comment that it had similar performance to a Noble and I was pointing out that only a 600bhp one.

Similar doesn't mean faster. In Tux's Vid he stays with the Merc on the straights when on full boost. I for one think that's a great achievement.


Get down from that horse. Lol

Just re watched vid as I'm bored and noticed Si actually started to gain in the straights.

As Bondy suggests lets not get too carried away , the SLS in the right hands would no doubt wipe the floor with a Road going Noble , and in no way did I think for a minute I could give him a proper run for his money ....but is was fun especially after his dodgy overtake .

Your been very harsh on yourself Hulkster. Myself & probably Kevin are very experienced at Silverstone etc & I certainly don't have raw talent but kind words none the less just simply very good sporadic tuition over the last 12 years or so plus my car flatters my driving style especially being used to TVR's on track for many years.
My lad has been trying to upload the footage of us three out together on Youtube but loads up like a squashed widescreen video & looks naf, there are plenty of other Nobles on it too plus the walloping of Porsche's & Ultima's etc .
We've just shortened the footage down to 10 minutes for the best action & hopefully will be up later. Any suggestions to rectify from anyone would be appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks for sharing was great, wish I had come down now and not looked at the weather forcast

Did u edit the video first. If u did then maybe when you did the conversion you picked the wrong aspect ratio?
