Silverstone, 22nd November.
Discussion
Good day at Silverstone today with RMA, a few red flags, one of them a 15 minute jobbie caused by me, so my most sincere apologies for that.
I totally buried my Caterham in the gravel trap at Vale, I was dialling in the brake bias and just didn't have the tyres in right and went straight off, almost made it back on but buried it with around 20ft left to go.
I was the only person black-flagged for noise right at the end of the day, convinced it's the downshift kill causing pops and bangs, so I need to do something about it.
There was a Radical RCX there which was blisteringly fast around the bends, not as fast as mine on the straights and awesome on the brakes.
Here's a video of the last session.

That looks like a beast - is it the R400 or something more potent?
It appears that you could seriously benefit from some proper tuition - it looks like your "coasting" for half the lap which must be wrong?? I was told at least 90% should be on the gas or the brake, not nothing!!
I reckon that you can break 2-15 with that car.

An R400 ? Lol, its around 3 times the power and cost of an R400. It's a Levante Superlight, 600hp.
Yes, coasting into braking area and corner entry as I'd managed to beach it in the gravel trap pretty early on and caused a 15 minute red flag period to dig me out.
It's a scary car to drive as its accelerating extremely hard coming up to all the corners, picking where to let off and brake is actually quite hard. So to save wrecking my £100,000 car at the first real chance to drive it I decided to play it safe. I'll start figuring it out next spring when it's more than -1 outside as it was on Sunday.
