NSX at Brands

[Englebert]

A few photos that Nick took from Brands yesterday. He did a great job, but unfortunately is a bit of a bad luck charm for the NSX. Last time, he set it on fire and this time, he split an oil hose. I got half a lap in

Fortunately, the car worked for a charity ride where Martin Donnelly took out an auction winner. A few of my fave shots...

Martin on his electric bike, LOL.

The man getting a lesson how to drive it...

..and the reason why

Waiting to go out

The car lapped alone in the lunchtime session. Wish i could have recorded the noise as it sounded fantastic. Each gear change echoed around like a gunshot, made me feel very lucky to be associated with the car, even if it is a PITA!

Superb, what sort of lap times do you run at Brands?

 

[Hixle]

Hard luck with the problems mate, but the car looks immense. Nice snaps, too.

 

[Philip.]

Looks fantastic and I bet it sounds awesome!

 

[Nickson]

As above!
Unlucky with the problems, but what an awesome looking car!

 

[Englebert]

Cheers!

In its current state it is on par with the Elise around the Indy circuit i would say. So about 48/49 secs.

 

[Wick]

That looks epic!!

 

[Ian_182]

On slicks I presume? Very quick regardless.

Actually thought of this car last week when I attended a talk by Lord Drayson, are you running it on BioEthanol or an alternative fuel?

 

[ROB91]

Looks great..... video next time

 

[Englebert]

Yes, that would be on slicks.

Thanks guys.

Good to see you guys again Rob, although how warm my reception will be on future outings of the NSX i'm not sure!

Think that shot down Graham Hill should of probably gone in the bin lol bit soft!
I like the shot of Martin and Mark chatting as they are flying along the straight, legend lol

Should see you in a few weeks at the next Brands Round when you run the super reliable Elise

 

[Englebert]

LOL, what are you implying!

 

[Munson]

Nearside headlamp unit looks like it needs some attention.

 

[Craigus]

Such a lovely car though!

Yes, I did cost that much new.

 

[Jimbo_M]
