500hp, 1000kg, no TC, no ABS. Crazy car.

[@Itsallfun3000]

@damianoferro you can see misha being so careful with it when it's not in a straight line. Those big turbos are hard to work with, you cross that torque line in a mid engine car and it isn't very forgiving!

[@eurotektuning]

Was hoping Misha would have pushed it a little more. I feel like the car had more untapped ability for this track. Bummer.

It would be great to see more British cars like this on the track, TVR or Lotus would be interesting.

[@Jack_95]

These are my favourite Misha videos. Insane car, chilled owner that knows their car, no talking or mobile recording during the lap, just taking it all in. That car is absolutely nuts. The way the speedo climbs so freely is a thing of beauty. Great upload! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@Itsallfun3000]

Now I didn't expect to see this! When these came out I went to the dealer as a teenager to sit in one for the hell of it. They had changed the intake to reduce the turbo noise but he said customers complained about that and it was changed back to be louder.

[@noblehondas3728]

These cars allways have a place in my heart as my uncles old company built the first load of m12’s at noble motor sport, I went out with Lee noble the guy who designed it in the first ever one made as a kid 👍

[@BionicRusty]

So cool 👍

[@Giitzerland]

Owner dude is fighting the age gremlin successfully! 50ish years old, almost definitely on TRT, works out regularly, and probably did some push-ups prior to filming, from pit sweat, and the wrinkled wick shirt that show how he definitely showed off his abs, not to mention the perfect amount of hairline contour that only good money can buy. I'd say he's winning the age game, and still in the fast lane! Big up's for being a total bro, for those of us that can't afford it =).

[@NaturallyAspirated]

Great video as always Misha! Love the Noble! We took one to the Isle of Man the week before the TT, that was an UNBELIEVABLE experience ! We have just released our video on it as well, would love for you to check that out ! At the UK’s version of the ‘Ring!

[@O2TG]

So glad this finally happened. Noble owner is a legend for risking his car!

[@WREX__RUE_]

this car is a car for experienced drivers for sure. definitely not for a regular average person like 95% of us. what a machine.

[@dominikslonecki]

Wooooow, I've always loved the car, but I think I'll never be brave enough to own one. I'm so happy to see you drive it on the Ring.

[@TonicofSonic]

A car built like that does make me question why not have ABS at the very least. I mean, if you need better cornering in a non race spec version of a car built exactly like a racecar, maybe the engineering is not so great after all.

[@dominikslonecki]

@@TonicofSonic@TonicofSonic It is just speculation, but I guess buying and integrating an ABS that would perform well on a race track for a tiny company like Noble in the early 2000s might have not been easy/feasible.

[@TonicofSonic]

@@dominikslonecki That is a very fair assessment. That also brings with it exclusivity of the non abs "extreme" style car class.

[@noblehondas3728]

Would love to see you drive a noble m600 round the ring 👍

[@Mr.P.Griffith]

Misha's met his match when it comes to holding a poker face. lol

[@Goku-dy3zb]

That would be the Yumyum Racing TimeAttack Noble you’re talking about. That guy keeps setting class lap records every time it goes out it seems. Beating full on factory built race cars worth many times its value. These are incredible cars. You should check out their page on KZbin too.

[@rogermoore2365]

That's a scary car to drive

[@bullisman728]

[@buckrogers2828]

Nuburgring seems to be infested with those Warning triangles everywhere like some memorial to "My Shit Box Died Here" Like a badge of honour!.

[@RosskoPeeko]

The speed difference between the two laps was mega. You could definitely tell you were holding back the first lap. It’s also unreal that it’s a ford mondeo V6 that’s in the back of these :P

[@Nobleazure]

As a long-time owner of a M400, and a subscriber to your channel, I was hoping this would happen one day! Also, my M400 was 500+ at the wheels...

[@NytrogenLegend]

Dang, now that's a pure driver's car. Lightweight, powerful, handles beautifully. Perfection

[@escoriavalenciana]

I have never seen Misha with so much respect, and he has driven very expensive and powerful cars, this car is special.

Calling it a kit car and pulling a face like he just swallowed a lemon are hardly signs of respect.

[@user-vf3sl2lo2h]

Love the British track day cars, hope to see you in a tvr sagaris. Apparently the most mental of street legal TVR's

[@michaelc3977]

TVR, Lotus, Ariel, Caterham - all English. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales (all British) have nothing when it comes to car manufacturers and mototsport. As such, it's better to say you love the English track day cars, rather than Brtitish, as it's solely England in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and N. Ireland who produces them.

Cool to see you taking a Noble for a lap, there factory was just 5 mins from my house, and the Ultima sports cars are built just a minute down the road from me also. It would be amazing to see you take an Ultima RS out for a lap sometime, or maybe even the older GTR, and I imagine driving either around the Nürburgring would definitely be an exciting experience.

[@carlwinslow4175]

Crank vs wheel HP

[@andrewgiles9796]

After the remap, we were struggling to hold boost with the fitted actuators. Long story short previous owner refurbished turbos and they fitted wrong actuators. Only found when having car mapped after new ecu, so new actuators are coming, so will easily make 500bhp.

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

Awesome car and video, been waiting for this one! Recently bought a very similar spec M12 GTO-3R and absolutely love it, it's incredible. Looking forward to my first few track days (at a slower pace than Misha!).

[@RDSAlphard]

Misha will be driving Ultima GTR soon?! Holy, that's gonna be interesting! Ultima & Noble are two brands that I really love, but undoubtedly they also not the easiest car to drive at limits.
