....I am sure you'll agree. But here is the first short film I have ever done featuring my mate Boonie ragging around in Caterham's.

looks like a laugh. The doughnuts around the cone are very impressive. I got my 1st ever track day at Brands Hatch on the 30th!! Some lotus exige or elise i think. Cant wait!

Good video

good effort fella, looks like it was a lotta fun.

did you get to drive yourself ?

always fancied buying a caterham 8 and building it myself.
they have respect, naughty motor.

No. I've been to two of these now with Boonie and although Caterham's aren't really my thing I'm am feeling the urge to have a go next time but fear I may be pants at it ! (I have very large feet !) I did rag the Volvo round the track last year though ! (click pic)

im 6'6 and size 13 and had no trouble driving a caterham 7 superlight around a track... awesome machines, but not very forgiving, quite easy to get too much oversteer at first, takes some getting used to but adds to the fun lol

i thought there was a v8 one called the caterham 8, it was a long time ago that i read about it tho, ive prob got it mixed up with a different kit car.

derrrr !

There was a super-7 type beasty at avon park running a V8 (from both the noise and the headers) which I thought would be a bit too lairy for it's own good. Can't remember what the 1/4mile was, so it couldn't have been that impressive.

There is so many different spec 7's now it make the mind boggle ! The silver one in the vid was a slightly wider one for lardy's (can't remember it's proper name !) which would fit me fine ! The slalom cars are also set up to slide and be very skitish, which gets worse as the 6 quid rear tyres wear out !

I think theyre 'SV' but yeah there are oodles of different machines, can be had fairly reasonable -15k ish for a new base model up to more than double for the mad v8s and big engined nutty machines!
