To everyone out there who as asked me about this, I'm sorry but our track day has been put on ice until after the Motor Show.

We initially approached Rockingham, who wanted to charge one of the highest prices per person I'd ever seen for a track day. Naturally, we cancelled our booking...

Oulton Park was our next choice, but they quoted us a fair price, which promptly doubled the following week. They were given the Rockingham treatment, too.

Our old favourite - Bruntingthorpe - which we visit regularly for test and development, was reasonably priced and is a nice, fast circuit, but there are still too many stones on it for expensive cars running in relatively close proximity to one another. So that was ruled out, too.

Please bear with us on this. We will arrange something later in the year.

By the way, how many Noble owners would be keen on a purely social event one weekend during the summer, away from a circuit. It could be at a fixed, picturesque location, or could involve a drive on public roads with a start and finishing point, and refreshments and hospitality at each end. Just a thought...

Let me know!

Simon, any event that brings owners and potential owners together is a great idea so count me in! How about a cross-country treasure-hunt ending in a BBQ and prize giving - perhaps along the lines of "find the tea-bag"!!!

Yep - let's do it (whatever "it" is - I'm sure there will be some good ideas!).

Sam and Leean,

As I said, we will consider a track day later in the year when we've recovered from the Motor Show and its aftermath.

Judging by everyone's response to the social event/driving day, though, I think this would be equally popular.
