Driving like a lunatic is fun...

[GFWilliams]

Dad let me have a little drive of his Caterham on Sunday on an airfield. Typical british weather decided to pee it down, so I went out and got soaked, but what amazing fun it was

Here's a little video:

Hope you enjoy the video a fraction as much as I enjoyed doing it

Cheers

The spin was in very changing conditions (drying up at the end of the day) and trying to go for a fast lap. I put a wheel in a puddle by mistake after overtaking someone then locked up, and fluffed up a downchange locking the diff up. whoops!

[GFWilliams]

To be honest, my post is a lot less spamlike than yours.

But you'll note I've only posted it in the one section of PH.

Thanks for the thread bump

For those without easy access to a Caterham, the Caterham drift/slalom days are meant to be great fun - cars set up for oversteer

I'm a bit tempted by one of these days - are there any opportunities to do any high speed drifting? The quicker you're going, the more fun it is

Looks great, my dad is thinking about getting a Westfield with an 1800 Zetec, so hopefully I'll be able to drive it on the road and track

Half doors? You big girl's blouse

Great video - subscribed.

It's things like that which make me miss my Caterham!

Great, aren't they? They'll do that sort of thing all day long on a wet roundabout airfield.
