It doesn't matter how much power you have, if you can't drive, what's the point? And I think a wet Cadwell will be much more fun in seeing who's car is best wink

Bring the track day on... Nothing, and no one, is quicker round a track, any track, than me and beastie. OK I'm talking NA. That said, the FI cars can't keep up either.. That's right. I was talking to Fernando in China, and he said 'feck me Chilli, thank God you can't enter beastie into a GP... we'd all be stuffed...' Even Kimi thanked me for not turning up..... Lewis asked if he could take beastie round the Barcelona circuit ahead of the next race... I told him, 'feck off Lewis, you're having a larf'......

So, you need to be real about what you have, it's easy to think because you have a big feck off SC or turbo V8 that you're the man..... or that you're gonna be quicker than all the other guys...

So there we have it...

Sod it, just knocked my '63 burgundy all over the vintage 1897 chaise longue again.. wink

Nah, straights are just a means of getting to the next bend, Cadwell is where any shoot out should happen, timed over 30 mins see which car covers the most laps and use that as a measure.

I would be itching to attend that:-)
Couldn't agree more thumbup racing ain't racing unless it's got bends in it smile...but 30 minutes! yikes
My tyres would have melted, the brakes would have failed or caught fire and the trannie fluids pissing out the bottom...Make it 12-15 min session and I can nurse it for that long..lol

Me too, and I only have 300 bhp at my disposal. But I will be in the same group as you this time, if I ever get my act together and book. Last time I joined the middle group, and never got overtaken all day. Very wide, these Chimaeras hehe
Afraid I don't think I can make it this year I have run out of leave for the year.

The 4.2 cerb doesn't make anywhere near 380, not sure about the 4.5.

engineers low mileage cerb couldn't match the "good" chims for speed on the track.
Mine will after a re-map smile was making factory numbers more or less on 2 sets of rollers not bad for 60k and cracked manifolds and 15 years old.

Pah, how can a saloon with only one plane on its crank be as good as a sportscar with two? And they sound a bit tappety....

For anyone who has somehow managed to miss this Cerbera vs the World (almost).
Or, for the terminally impatient The short version
Note that it is 'only' the 4.2 AJP

I remember seeing this the week it was first shown.
Mole Valley TVR had it on continuous loop playback in the showroom biggrin

What's so wrong about that? Look at the value of it? Just like a cerb one day unlike your mass produced car, too common I even passed one in the road last week wink

Imagine having this VHS bought for you for your sixth birthday and witnessing this. The impact was severe, as two Cerberas later will testify. The Cerbera is the daddy of the TVR range, always was and always will be.
