Oulton Park GT Races anyone?
Discussion
) Martin.
Currently negotiating with the other half!!
Need to put the first 1000 miles on the M400, so the 300 up and down to Oulton would help!
Seems to be dependent on the great British weather as she doesn't want to stand around for hours in the rain! And I'm not that keen on trying the Corsas out for the first time on a long motorway downpour!!
Will post on Saturday night if we're going - where would everyone meet? Services somewhere?

Never look at the BBC for weather. Truly the most optimistic forcasters around. This (sad to say) is probably more like it :-

I got pictures of 5 Nobles but my compuer decided to delete the entire days photos when asked to delete 1
Still, got to see the new livery for the first time (Kawasaki green all over) and must say I prefer it. And some news that I hadn't heard is that Simon Pullen has parted company with the team, so Martin is driving the car with Fanny.
I don't know what happened yesterday (apart from blowing a gearbox), but today was a bad day. The car sounded good for the formation lap and the start lap, but the first lap of racing and the car had a very bad misfire so pulled out immediately. After half a dozen laps it came out to play again but only did a couple before the suspention broke. Martin seemed pretty OK about it though.
JonnO - nice to meet you, hope next time it'll be with my car present!

Sorry I never managed to meet anybody. I parked up just behind the toy car stand and the restaurant area. (INDIGO BLUE).
I did spot the other Nobles but no owners were hanging around at the time.
Must say it was refreshing to be in something different instead of one of the very many TVR's that were there.
Oh and having owned 3 TVR's this is the first time I have actually managed to get to an event in my own toy !
