Nice pics man, where was this at?
Just realised couple of my 200 parts got sneaked in there lol.
The grass track car was a class 7 mate with 2 4 pot bike engineswas popping wheelies round the track.
Was at Birmingham nec adam
Red Victor 3 was the car of the show for me, partly the reason why I went at all.
Andy's team mates were spot on as well, we had a good crack to them about it.
Gutted me and my dad missed this on friday
Good pics Todd!
A very good mate of mine has had 2 Caterhams. One was just an ordinary 1800 Supersport - he hacked that in for an R300 Superlight. The 300 was seriously fast, it was about 160/170hp on Jenvies. Was lighter than his earlier one aswell. Sickeningly fast car around corners!! Still the wrong side of £20k for one though. The Superlight was slower than my GT in it's 1.4 220hp guisestill would've opened a can of whoop ass on me round the twisties
Cracking little cars.
i wanted to go on a passenger ride but the que was just too big. But since getting back me and my mate have both spoke of getting rid of our nissans (my s14a & R33GTR) and buying a caterham each. But even the oldest tatiest ones are still like 7k :O
But all in all, was a cracking day. Had never been before. Mclaren really pulled out all the stops on their stand
Yeah, no point wasting your time or money on a 1.4 or a 1.6 - jump straight to the 1.8's. The Supersport was quick enough 0-60, but it lacked any real punch above then. I slaughtered him from 80mph onwards in a 220hp GT. I'm not one for overexaggeration either, but it really was like hitting a brick wall for him at 100mph! The R300 was a totally different animal, that was a really quick car! He had a blast with a Ferrari 360 Mod who managed to lunch his gearbox when going for 3rd gear! But it was a very fast car, low 4's to 60, and it kept pulling beyond that. Like I said though, they're still £20k.
Driven a blackbird engine'd one around cadwell years ago, although the bloke taking me out for a super fast string of laps was way better.
I had a look at them years ago and even shite ones are really expensive.
nice pics there mate. might have to attend this next year. you should pop round soon todd, i live like 5 mins away from the caterham factory
