Ahhh there we go. The original poster's video looked like he was fighting the car, Jon's lap looked effortless.rubystone said:
Indeed. The car looks like it was setup with the usual factory fresh understeer though. Those that drive these cars know that the oversteer corrections we see on film become automatic when one drives any powerful 7 on track. Was it on road tyres or slicks?
High power sevens on slicks can be extremely understeery until some heat builds in the front tyres.Adam205 said:

Any track Caterham to be fair! They're generally not as wildy oversteery as their reputation suggests unless you try hard, and it's rarely the fastest way round....unfortunately :PGreigM said:

If you don't get Caterham, why even come here?!
Different strokes for different folks. I fully respect Caterham's ethos but personally they do nothing for me (and yes I've driven one, a Roadsport), I would never want to own one nor would I care to drive one again. Does that make me less of a petrolhead? No, just one with a different set of values that "work" for me.Getting the whole idea of a pure driving experience (which is kind of the ethos) and wanting one, or even thinking it delivers what it says, are not the same.
