So thought Id have a go on a car track day in the Caterham. Done bike trackdays but never 4 wheels. Really enjoyed it. Things I need to do
1 New seat belt
2 Get the car set up a bit better.
But I'll certainly do some more.
Last session on board

It's an ex Roadsport car put back on the road. Think it's 145hp Sigma engine.

Looked like a very nice balance between power and grip!

Looks like fun! Looks a bit twitchier than my 140 - which tyres are you running?

On Avon ZZS I think they are. Wider rims on rear.

Based on my car, the rear ARB adjustment (which I think is present on a roadsports car?) has a MASSIVE affect on balance. Full stiff & mine is borderline homocidal, full soft it understeers..
