Excited..!

[Redmax]

Picking up my R300 race car kit tomorrow, can't wait! It's on my birthday too by a large coincidence. I finished decorating the living room last weekend so nothing to distract me from the Caterham (including any sold work unfortunately). Even Mrs Redmax has been shipped off on holiday for 10 days!

Any interest in a build thread?

Definately! I've got 15 weeks to wait for mine so get snapping!

Interested!!

Keep the info and pictures coming.

Have you ever built one before?

Your either very early for for 2012....or late for 2011...which is it! Good luck if your out for Oulton in three and bit weeks! See you out there. First trip out for most people was yesterday.



Something to wet your appetite if your not already excited enough.

No, never built one before. We've had a Roadsport A for 2 or 3 years so have done some basic stuff but nothing like this. Definitely a long time ambition though.

Thanks for the links Paul. I'm early for 2012 really - Nick P sold me the car on the basis that the 2011 grid was full, so the plan for this year is to do lots of tracks days to fix all the faults I build into it(!) and try to get up to speed-ish, then do a few R300 and Mag 7 races towards the end of the season, then really focus on 2012. I suspect the grid isn't actually full for the majority of circuits but it suits me fine to have a quieter racing season this year.

Cheers

Cool, you should really get on the grid for Brands GP, but thats probably a bit early (June??). Donington GP will also be good, (aug).

Good luck with it

[Redmax]

Yes, Brands is probably a bit of a stretch but Donington in August would be an excellent target - one for the diary I think.

Cheers

Happy Birthday for tomorrow.

I picked by RoadSport SV 150 up on my Birthday, best present ever - put a massive smile on my face

Enjoy the day and your build!!

I wonder if it's too late to make a road car instead ..!

haha, you'll be fine. Just hang on to it.

I should add that I did manage to crash it whilst driving down hanger straight in the wet when I aqua planned..... so maybe I should recommend caution........ (http://paul-wilson.net/2010/11/22/season-in-review-rd1-2-silverstone/)

[pw32]

and the last one from me.... more of a generic round up with motors tv footage. If you ever want to see an R300 race car fly watch the grass section at 6.03. Peter Young (SPY team boss) gets a good meter of air. All it did was not a sensor off. He was back out race 2.

Great footage
Fancy a crack at the Mag7 series

yeah, to be fair your quite handy round there. You should come out of retirement.

[James.S]

The only chance of seeing 33 on a car this season is Zandvoort.........probably.
