Looks like you had some serious company. Would have like to come but it wouldn't have been the same not being in the nob.

I had a great time, thanks for the passenger rides Tux and Funky

both your cars seem to handle better than mine, (or perhaps i drive like a girl scratchchin )

today has left me with a few impressions

Noble owners are a great bunch
There is not much can overtake a Noble on track
Nobles are impressive overtakers at Snetterton
I can't drive mine fast enough
I think i may have to start round two of the modifications ! I'm feeling the need for more power

Tux - hope you get the hub/bearing issue sorted out easily - have you modded the hubs to take a circlip ?

Funky - your car rocks I love that high boost button smile hope you get the alternator issue sorted

Another great day. Really enjoyed myself. Good to meet a couple of new people.
And cheers for the bit of help gadge.
I'll have a little check tomorrow. Still went out and got home. So I'll check some voltages again tomorrow.

What a fantastic day I have had, great drive to Snetterton from Nottingham via Grantham (A1) to Peterborough, Wisbech and Thetford, at 5 O’clock in the morning.

Then I met with TuxMan, Funkster, Funkybmx1, Gadgeroonie and Yoda.

Great Guys,

A big THANKYOU to TuxMan for getting me the Carbon End Plates and giving me a ride (my face is still on, just), absolutely loved every minute of it.

Time went so quickly, just like the Noble's.

Can’t wait till next time.

Yeah, A great day guys even if I couldn't get on till nearly lunch as it was full on track.
The cars deffo ate up a lot of the other machinery out there and as usual flames were awash.

Good to put a couple of names to faces and talk Nobs as usual.

Will try and get a bit of in car footage sorted out over the next couple of days.

Matty.

What sort of lap times were you boys doing?

Under 2 mins. is good, best I've seen is 1min 47secs.

This Monday the GT series in the MSVR club are racing so would be interesting to seee how fast you really are.

Wow so the new lay out is around 14sec slower than the old? we were doing 1m 33sec reg on fairly standard tyers in the wet.I think the times will be lower than 1m 47,Icould be wrong?

Hey guys gutted i couldnt be there today, would of been nice to see you all again and ur beasts. Sounds like you all had a great day, I was looking forward to trying the new layout, maybe next time.

did you have to get a new hub after the circlip came loose ?

can the hub be machined to take bigger bearings and make it a lot stronger ?

Yes Gadge had to fit a new alloy upright , put new bearings in as well and refitted my old hub as it was new !! my alloy uprights are different to stock !!

bigger circlip will fix the problem !!
