First Caterham Ride!

[animal]

Had a go at the MotorShow.

To be honest, I couldn't say how many laps we did or how long I was in the car I was far too busy lmao. I could hardly believe that the car only had 120bhp!

Best tenner I've ever spent!

They're the same cars that you get to drive at the excellent Slalom Days - www.pistonheads.com/shop/asp/product.asp?product=138 - and it's even better sitting 2ft to the right The cars are basic 120bhp Roadsports with LSDs, although set up to oversteer with rubbish tyres on the back and suspension fiddled with.

Was watching the guys at the motorshow, some serious car control there, almost one long drift the whole way round.

You did 2 laps..

Slow in on the first lap, turn in, boot.. power oversteer round oil drum..

Catch slide and power slide down to right flick, bit of oversteer on the way out to a quick left right flick, power back on.. onto a right hander

Power out of the right hander with some opposite lock, into the oil drum circuit again, one of the drivers sliding twice around the drum, the rest just the one,

Back round the circuit again and then hard on the stoppers and out onto the road to drive back to base..

I stood for quite a while watching these guys, all had slightly different styles, but all displayed quite amazing car control..

Great fun to watch,

I watched for a while, then had lunch with the sound of them in the background.

Exhausts, tyres, then a bang. At least 1 of the drivers arnt as good as they thought they were..

Have a small vid clip of one 'lap'.
