Noble Track Day

[Nildram]

Hi folks,

I'm considering getting my Noble out on track in March, and thinking of doing Bedford Autodrome on either Sat March 8th with Palmersport, or Sat March 22nd with RMA. Would be good to get a few Nobles together on the day, if anyone's interested.

Bedford has the advantage of being mainly left handers, with no really long corners, so shouldn't hurt the engines, even without the latest planned fix from Noble.

From my conversation with Lee, I got the impression that the right hander bit came from the Americans who have experienced similar problems in a car (Corsair?) using the same engine.

Anyhow, I think the risks are extremely slight at a venue like Bedford. Take it round Mallory or Brands and you're asking for trouble, though!

When I spoke to Lee, he pointed out that they had only ever seen a couple of failures and it has never happened to him despite extensive track use.

The standpoint from the factory shouldn't IMO be taken too seriously. They're just legally covering themselves, and I have no reason to suspect they would behave unreasonably in the event of a problem.
