My Noble M12

2 pictures here show how much we have developed the Noble in just 2 years !!!
Pretty impressive if I say so myself 😎

Bloody hell, best part of 12 seconds overall. That is a leap.

Good luck with the R&R and I'm guessing (hoping ) I'll be waiting for the next instalment.

Well it’s the end of a era !!!

Last Sunday at Rockingham was my last Time Attack event , we have decided to stop at the end of this year mainly to have a bit more time but also on some health grounds !!

Leading up to Rockingham I was nervous , more so than normal !!
The Noble was all ready but I had a odd feeling , not dread but a growing concern about the last round !
Rockingham is my local track and we are quick around it but the talk of rain had reminded me how dangerous it is when it’s wet !!
Add to that we still needed a good result to hold onto 2nd in the championship and the pressure was on !
We travelled up sat night and signed in ect rewards fir Sunday , the weather was stunning , warm and sunny just the way we like it !
Sunday morning 3 o’clock and I was waken by heavy rain on the Moho roof 😱 this set the scene for one of the toughest days driving the Noble I had ever had !
Sunday morning arrived and it was hammering down , nothing we could do but fit my wets , soften all the suspension and increase the rear wing for a bit more rear downforce !
First practise and the Noble was up for it , plenty of grip and great stability around the banking ment we could push and we topped the timing sheets with a 1.59 lap !!
Little did we know that things would change for the worst 😩
Out for qualifying after lunch and suddenly things got serious , the grip had gone , 2 big lockup’s and a spin startled me and I realised the day was finished . Trying to control 500 bhp with no traction control was crazy , everytime I brought in some boost the rear wheels would spin , the Noble was not happy 😢 track temp had dropped massively this totally destroyed our grip and ment it was a case of hanging on . Qualified 3rd and to cut a story short finished 3rd in the final !!! Confirmation of 2nd in the championship.

I was so relieved to put the Noble in the garage in one piece Sunday night !!!

What’s next ? No idea let’s see where 2019 takes us !

Thanks for the support this year guys , it’s been incredible.

Good to hear all is ok on the health front too.

Thanks for the kind words Nigel , it’s been a incredible 4 years and we always new this year would be the final year , happy too see I was faster in every round than last year 😎😎
