GTs: Ultima Finishes 6th

Problems overcome and points in the bag

---

Aaron Scott and his Master Motorsport team mate Steven Brady, were at Castle Combe for round 6 British GTs and overcame a number of technical problems to get a good result (6th) out of a field of 25 cars.

Scott qualified the car in 10th place on Saturday ready for Sunday's 60 minute race. Brady started the race and drove for the first 20 minutes before handing over to Aaron, after a tough and eventful race finished the race in 6th position.  This secured a further helping of points for the Omnico backed team.

Aaron Scott said, "This was the toughest race of the year for us, we had overheating problems with the engine and so we had to nurse the car to the flag. The team worked very hard and did a fantastic job.  Unfortunately, there was a bit of a mix-up with the results in the race stoppage and we should really have finished 4th.  Nevertheless, the points are good for the Championship. We have a new engine on the way for the next round at Oulton Park and we need that to keep us moving up the table and challenging for the podium finishes."

I want those sidepods with the huge front wheelwell evacuation ducts...

I would have settled for the pieces to make the current ducts effective, but alas, they've been discontinued

The side pod duct kit has been discontinued? I thought that they were improving the molds and would re-release the kit thereafter. I haven't spoken with the factory in months but this is the last that I heard.

Is it only me, but doesn't the front end look rather "sat on". That whole low front end and massive glass house really puts me off....

Don't worry Joust. You won't have much of a chance to see it as it speeds past your Noble

That's the difference between a racing car and something to pop down to the hair salon in

Does anybody know what gearbox do they use?

The gearbox is a hybrid based on the Riley & Scott 'box from the Le Mans car. It's extensively modified by a local bloke and goes under the name T96.

I'm sure you could get one, but it won't be cheap!!

It looks like I’m going with Hewland NLT.
A lot of work to adapt anyway.

Bit out of my budget though

Now bugger off back to the Noble forum

PS. Love the GTO-3R though, where's me chequebook?

lol

The Noble just goes to prove that Lee got more sedentary in his dotage

He designed the Ultima when he still had some fire in his veins

[domster]

Hels has got Stig's chequebook She's probably buying an industrial drum of swarfega as we speak - errr, don't ask

I wouldn't wind up Stig by the way. He used to be the toughest moderator on the block, crushing replies with his delete button every few seconds. He is now a happier, more mellow individual, but Noble vs Ultima meanderings may push him over the edge... he's like the hulk, you know

PS. Yes, she is weird
