Bloomin' kind of you! will have to come and say hello. The caterham is only a slow one- about 100bhp. It's a classic graduate racer like the one in my profile. The driver is my mate Stuart, who has only had about an hour in the car so far.
Excuse my ignorance but I assume you're using the car in your profile, and I have no idea what it is!?

You are correct in your assumption wink and it's a raw fulcrum. It's basically a striker with a full body (assuming you've heard of a striker). It's got a blade engine and weighs in at 520kg but this will only be my second time at brands so still learning.

All caterhams are great fun, people seem too hung up on POWER these days and being as we are going to a track day it's the fun factor that matters smile

Will keep a eye out for you, what colour am I looking for? Is it a converted road car or full race setup?

Never seen a retoga before!? Googled it and it looks awesome!!!!! Tricky to get in and out of by the looks of it.
Do you race in bikesports? Think someone wanted to convert one to rgb regs? You?

Fantastic day!! Well, morning wink

Started off with the longest briefing and sighting laps I've witnessed, although brief was VERY thorough.

On track everyone's etiquette seemed great which made for a very enjoyable few sessions until........

Bottom end goes bye bye frown and to add insult to engine injury I forgot to put the memory card in my car cam!!!!! Grrrrrr

Good to meet you all ^^^^ and looking forward to seeing any pics/videos you have of the day. Hope you all had a good afternoon with no problems.
