Lee Noble is someone I look up to. He loves cars.  He loves driving cars. What better career than to make cars? And good ones too. Ever heard of the Ultima GTR?  Check out this video. Lee started Ultima. Lee also helped develop the McLaren F1 (McLaren used three Ultima chassis in development of the F1). And the list goes on… With all of that experience, what would be better than to launch a car company named after himself? The M-10 came first. Although successful in small numbers, it never really took off.  That all changed with Lee’s next car, the M-12 GTO, followed by the M-12 GTO 3R with refined steering and a larger, more powerful Ford Duratec powerplant. And finally, the M400 with more power, refined interior, suspension, steering and new side air ducts. The "400" stands for 400hp per tonne of weight.

I’ll stop babbling on about specs. I went to the 1GRacing website and watched Jeremy Clarkson call the older M12 GTO his favorite drivers car. I went to 1GRacing last month and test drove the red Xbox 1-lap of America M400 (stock). It sold itself. Today the chassis arrived. The motor was ordered. The installer secured. An SA2005 Simpson helmet is being shipped. In a few more weeks I should be driving it home from Ohio.

I’ll probably post better video links later. 1G is a good place to start.
