Even though the full track is rarely used it's fairly grippy in the wet and dry is about the same. GP circuit is fantastic chance to pull some higher speeds up through the trees round the back past Hawthorne Hill with its elavation changes makes it special for me anyway. Enjoy it and be careful not to out brake yourself Dingle Dell and Sheene curve chasing the throttle which is so inviting.

Enjoy your T5. I was reminded last night how much grip these things really have driving the A68 back to the home of scenery and driver's roads last night. £40K is perfectly possible with a few well chosen upgrades (Bilstein's anyone?) and the 180hp twin turbo engine. These things ain't cheap anymore, but they are far more capable than their predecessors. As for the Se7en, I'm guessing that is an R300 in the back, very nice.

It won't fit will it?

Yes. All you need to do is take the rubber trim off the back doors. It's tight, but a caterham will fit without removing the rear wings.

The van needs to be a LWB model too. The nosecone will then be about an inch or two away from the bulkhead.

Several people that race use this setup. You can sleep in the van once the car is out, plus you can do 70mph on the way there/back. You also don't need to have a licence for towing (if you passed after 1996).

Discreet too. No flashy covered trailer to attract attention.

How wide is the Caterham? It's just I've got a Locost and being able to stuff one in the back of a panel van would be really useful. Saves mucking about with the trailer and those Citroens are pretty cheap. It's the same as the Fiat isn't it?

The full Brands GP circuit is fantastic, its such a shame they let us use it so little. I've been out on it twice in my race-prepped 205 GTI. My fav corner, and prob in my top 3 of all uk circuits, is Sterlings Bend - The left before the run to Clearways! Enjoy it PH people!
