30 odd Nobles on track;
1500+ photos to sort through, with some absolutly stunning shots by Luca;
Excellent organisation by the track;
A reasonably decent lunch;
Excellent tuition;

Just brilliant.

Thanks to Owen, Jools and everyone else that helped make today a great first event.

The photos will be sorted, catalogued and uploaded onto NobleTV.co.uk in low-res format. We will be charging the princely sum of £10 for a CD of your car, or £20 for a DVD of all of the pictures. This will enable us to cover the £90 Brands charged us to get photographer access to the track. Any money left over will be placed into the Noble Owners Club kitty to help fund future events.

In addition, you'll also be able to buy photographic quality prints on-line upto A3 size.

It's going to be a truely mammoth task to sort out all the photos, but I expect the first pictures to be uploaded to NobleTV in a day or so.

Thanks for letting me come along and play; I thought it was an excellent day, and a credit to Jools, Owen and all those involved in the organisation.

Yep -absolutely top notch! Many thanks Owen, Jools et al for organising that. Cracking little circuit once it dried out a little Good to meet up with so many folk again ( and just loved your L-plate, Greg!)

Yep, safely back home I'll vouch for that. A cracking start, thoroughly well deserved praise for Jools, Owen and everyone else involved. Roll on Donington.

From a spectators point of view it was a great day, I'd never seen that many Nobles before, nor realised how varied they are.

Thanks You Guys,

My first track day visit, didn't take the car out (no sump) but Jools very kindly took me out - absolutely brilliant thanks Jools.

Put the car on the rolling road and found that the car is running rich, original ECU so may have some problems. did 288BHP.

Thanks again, can't wait for next one.

I was only there for an hour - with my 1 year old son. You probably saw him and thought WTF).

Good to meet a few of you (Micknall, Jools). The atmosphere was quite similar to a Lotus owners day, just with bigger and faster cars. Thanks for the bacon butty, whoever was responsible.

Any casualties other than the Tuscan? And what happened to it, other than the obvious (ie it hit something hard)?

Great day for me...thanks for asking me along to snap away. The number of pictures that are good to great is pretty high....those who saw them on screen seemed to enjoy.

Great driving, great to see some familiar faces again, and some new ones too.

Regards
Luca

Hi all,

I too would like to say how much we all enjoyed the day. It was my first trackday of any kind, and I don't think I could have spent it in better company. I would like to congratulate all those involved in the organisation aspects.

I thought the food was good, the instructors were extremely helpful, and the day couldn't have gone any better.

I just hope I didn't hold anyone up too much (Silver Evo VI with the noisy brakes).

Here are some pics - I am no photographer, but I did my best:





















And if you think I'm bad at taking pictures, have a look at my Mum's attempt at picturing "Ghost-Cars":

Really enjoyed the day as a spectator. Thanks again Owen for taking me for a run. Great car ! As a prospective buyer, it is a great way to sell the cars. It's a shame that one of the cars I am looking at from M .Valley disappeared before I could talk to them about it !!

I didn't track either (again no track sump ....or bottle!) but it was more than made up for by some passenger laps alongside Giles Cooper and Steve Kerridge. It's not until you get in with real drivers that you realise quite how good they are, but also how bloody good the Noble is on track for a road biased car. Thanks to both, and also thanks to everyone involved in organising such an enjoyable day.

Had a great day and weekend in all!

Thanks the Owen and Jooles for all your hard work. Happy to help out next time!!


Chuffed to be home with the car in one piece, and I must say I feel privileged to have been awarded the prize for most dirty car!! Thanks!


Glad the L plate amuzed! I was asked by a group of nice ladies how I was allowed on track with a provisional liscence!!


Can't wait to see the pics, thanks Luca for that, and well done Justin for getting the monsterous printer there!


Until next time!


Greg.

I think the car you are refering to (red M400 with Mole Valley stickers)
is my own personal car and nothing to do with Mole Valley, but an
easy mistake to make.
I bought the car from Mole Valley and have only had top class service
from them, nothings too much trouble, although it would have been nice
to see them there.

I really enjoyed the day but did not go on track, i left early as was
bloody freezing!
