After Le Mans

[crb1]

After Le Mans, my red GTO 3R is an entrant in this years' supercarrun (www.supercarrun.com). Does anyone know if there are any other Noble runners? Or is mine the only one to pit itself in with the usual (read that as, more common) exotica.
Chris.

er no, is the answer to that one mate. Having now received a list of the cars and drivers.
Anyone interested in seeing some super cars, get down to Hyde Park early Sunday am. You might even see a Cone icks egg.

Odd. Was about 8PM. Computers eh?

Whats with the sponsorship? That has to go to the organisers too, so its costing 5.5k ?

Chris, was your car parked in the 'pits parking' area near Charles' blue one (Mole Valley Demonstrator)at Le Mans? There was a red ome in there and thought it might be yours. Martin.

Looks like a fabulous event - good luck!

[crb1]

martin i think thats affirmative

on second thoughts if you mean the pits in the start / finish straight, then no.

p.s. did anyone see the 2 M12's at the rear of the drivers parade on friday night ?

Chris, I saw them, one silver and can't remember the other one. I was waiting patiently for them to mount the platform but it never happened. I was well pissed off! Martin.

PS - I meant the pit car-park that was near Houx.

I'll be there Sunday 8am-ish - will post up some
photos...

Just got back after meeting with Rob in the Park. It was great to meet Chris face to face at last, I felt like he was avouding me at LM! Lots of nice cars but I think I'd swap my wife for a Koenigsegg(sp)(but not my Noble). Come on, Rob, where are the piccys? M.

Here they are:

For those who weren't there this morning the Red 3R number 73 flying the Noble flag is Chris (see above -AKA "CRB1").

PS - does anyone know how I can rotate the picture in an Mpeg movie clip )I shot it holding the camera sideways)?!

Presumably the lambo and the 360 have that new removable paint mentioned on PH last week?

I love those flames

Can't see a koenisegg in the pics - is it that chap from last years gumball (Arthur something or other)? Not sure I'd want to own one as they don't seem to work very well. Similar with the Zonda which couldn't even qualify for lemans due to unreliability...

Dan, The Mercialago with the lizard skin was amazing! The downside is that it is very suspect aound tight radius' and shut lines(puckers/overlaps/edges not sticking). I imagine in would need peeling off after a couple of weeks in a British winter. Also, it had almost no shine. Martin.

Dan, it wasn't paint, it was printed film and the finish was starting to detach itself on the curvy areas too!

KS was one of the first cars in the lineup - see the photo from the memorial steps - its on the right.

crb1>>Yes I saw these 2 Nobles there:



V6GTO>> You speak about these 2 models?



There were a lot of Noble in Le Mans during the 24 Hours, I never see that before...

Nice work in Hyde Park guys. Car not so clean now. 3500 miles covered in 13 days. Brilliant.
