Good luck.

In the trees, never dries.

In the Noble it will feel like you are on ice till the tyres warm up.

Fantastic driving when you consider the proximity of the trees and the lack of runoff or barriers etc. Those guys had balls of steel!
The circuit layout has hardly changed apart from adding in the two chicannes along the back of the circuit.

The Red Noble was Mal Davidson in the LMA Euro saloons.

Graham mentioned it to me a couple of weeks back and it looks promising.
It has full championship status unlike MESC, and although last year it was primarily for saloon cars I notice they are now attracting more sports cars and I believe a couple of elises are signed up. The demise of 750MC road sports might attract a few more cars into this series as it appears the natural alternative. I like the fact it is a 'Slicks' chamionship also.

Must be worth a try as there are few alternatives for powerful GT cars at the minute aside from 'mega money' Brit GT or perhaps Britcar if you want to destroy your car very quickly!
