    THRUST : THE STORY OF AN ENGLISHMAN WHO NEVER TOOK "NO" FOR AN ANSWER.

    This is the incredible story of a man who built a team and a world beating record car in circumstance that created immense problems the were at times impossible to recover from. Having had some first hand experience of attempting to do a similar task, it is impressive to say the least. Richard Noble's utter determination gave him the ability to carry on despite the odds. In another life, Richard would have been a Spitfire pilot in the Battle of Britain, a cavalry officer at Balaclava, or a Knight Templar!! A supreme example of victory over insurmountable odds.
