Just a quick questions I guess someone on here might be able to answer.

I know the Noble is very strong, having heard about the picture on Lee's PC of the Noble crashed in SA and very high speeds.

I was just curious about the type of crash testing Nobles go through? I seem to remember reading small volume manufactures like Noble (TVR?) don't have to go through the same crash tests as say ford?

As a sort of aside, I did read on another forum the GT3 and RS's don't have the front bit of the rollcage fitted as standard, due to the fact that if you are not wearing a 4 point harness in a head on crash (just a normal belt) you would do your self some serious head injury. Does anyone see this being an issue in the Noble ? I seem to remember you actually sit quite a way back from the front bit of the cage, so maybe this is not an issue?

Apologies for me waffling on

Cheers

Michael

The roll cage at the side is the biggest concern I have. A side impact would not leave my head looking very pretty!
