For video we have two options: 360degree video (with lots of wind noise) is linked below. You can click and drag the video around to look forward, behind or sideways. For the conventional look forward camera with some engine sounds, this is below: Despite Brands Hatch being likely to be my most epically expensive track day ever, I am committing to going back to Spa-Francorchamps next March. Should be fun.

Noise at the circuit for the day was 98db. It was tested in the pits before joining the circuit (static test 98db at 4000rpm) plus a drive by limit on the circuit at 98db. You got one warning for noise and then you were expected to fix it. Second time you were booted from the circuit. So how was the driving? Brilliant. Perfect for a seven. It’s a 3rd and 4th gear only circuit although you could go down to 2nd for Druids for a marginal benefit if you needed a little extra time.

Then sweep right into McLaren where you brake before setting the car up for the sweeping right Clearways (around where the vacuum truck in the below photo). Clearways is the critical corner as the earlier you are on the power gives you the best run long the “straight”. I had the Caterham 310R. I had driven this at Silverstone and Donington this year. It has the 1.6L Ford Sigma engine – so around 150hp. Black pack. Aeroscreen. 13” Apollo wheels with Avon ZZRs. Great little package. Works well at all but power circuits. As an aside the silver 420R to the left of my 310R was the one I had at Spa-Francochamps in March of this year. Sadly it only lasted 2 laps before its driver re-styled it along the pit straight with some excess throttle on a frosty morning.

Caterham Track Day at Brands Hatch Continuing on my bucket list journey to try all the tasty great race tracks in UK and Europe, I was at Brands Hatch this week with a Caterham from my friends at BookaTrack UK. It has a great history, holding the British GP between 1964 and 1986. I was running the shorter Indy Circuit given it was mid-week and noise restrictions are a major hassle at this circuit now. So the GP circuit was off-limits. I was not concerned as this is a brilliant little circuit – flows beautifully with great elevation change. It is probably the best circuit designed for a Caterham that I have ever been on. The photos do not really show the elevation. Below is in the foreground the turn into Paddock bend, then into the dip and up the hill to the 180 degree Druids corner Then it is down the hill into Graham Hill bend Before sweeping left into Cooper Straight and left into Surtees

Says the person on 3201 posts feeling jealous? :seeya:

He probably is revolting after being fed puppy chow for a week and wants to fly the nest. Can perfectly understand - I would feel the same way. I don't like puppy chow.

Always phone vendors in the UK when it comes to parts supplies - no matter which vendor. The English are a fairly primitive culture so internet is a little new fangling for them. They know their engine/car parts and ale but not much else. Not sure where you are in the USA, but UK is 4 hours ahead of US Eastern time this week. So a simple example - if you call at 10am it will be 2pm and after their lunch break. After change from daylight saving time to winter time this upcoming weekend, it will stretch to 5 hours. Surely you can manage a phone call? Never try to call Friday afternoon their time - they will not come back from the pub after lunch.

Trust me Graham - he has done that already...well and truly!

Thats a really early Duratec. One of the earliest I know of unless it was a replacement for a Zetec at some point in its life? I assume you found their website? http://sbdev.co.uk/SBD%20Motorsport%20Display.htm They are one of the few vendors that Caterham allow to re-map MBE ECUs - makes sense since they sell MBE. A number of people have dealt with them for remote (by internet/phone) tuning/mapping on a dyno in the US - yellowss7 was the most recent forum member that I know of. If he does not chime in on this thread then PM him.

Who me? Congratulations Andy! While I love midgets, I suspect I might also like what displaced it? Do share!

Gee that garage is a veritable warehouse by Tokyo standards. You are lucky in that you are on the outskirts of Tokyo so it makes a car feasible to enjoy. I lived in the center of Tokyo and driving was always a congested affair that made it no fun. Enjoy your time there - it was a great experience for me.

John - I found it when noodling for a new kit in 2009. It is hosted by a keen Caterham owner in France. Not sure where he found it from? The other information came from one of my discussions with Caterham senior management over the years.

Sean - That was definitely achieved by the modification. But there were others. Below is a link to the original Multimatic project powerpoint (spelling mistakes and all!) https://www.sevener.fr/fichiers_articles/caterhamsuspension.pdf Coffee Break - you are right. There were a couple of things causing the decision to fall that way 1) It was easier to start with the SV chassis for packaging purposes while testing - the rear end takes up a lot of room 2) There was discussion about then engineering it for the regular chassis but it was cost prohibitive - it is quite an expensive chassis to build relative to the regular S3/SV since it still has to come from Arch and 3) I have heard it said that the original marketing plan for the CSR was to be a grand tourer and a range leading model that attracted a new segment of customers to Caterham looking for a more refined product - something that was partially achieved. There were at least 2 IRS cars built on the S3 chassis. I think one of those may have been a Caterham technician building his own personal car in his own time. They have come up for sale in the UK from time to time.

Thats easy. I can sling mine across the garage in frustration when I do something stupid! :jester:

I just tried to post here the latest finds but it failed. Mazda and John are working hard behind the scenes to fix the posting permissions/format issues. I can't even post a smilie...

I was thinking Caterham superlight car original equipment wheels. But you wanted the aftermarket wheel. Got there eventually! Here is the UK website http://www.superlite-wheels.co.uk/

ah hah...that helps. Is it these? https://vintagewheelsus.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=57&products_id=508

If they are not the right wheels, please post a photo so we can better understand the exact style you are searching for.

Good morning. There are lots of Caterham superlight wheels over the years. The 2007 onwards models are for sale on the Caterham website. For 1992 I think they were Mike Barnby wheels? The business is still around in the UK and you can order direct. http://www.mb-racingwheels.com/

Just tried again and it failed - HTML is not permitted. Sorry no update this morning.

OK the website upgrade has officially failed. Its deleting text and threads and will not allow edits. I will put the links into a Word doc and try to post that in one go when the site allows me to.
