Onken Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 For those that enjoy watching Caterham on track, here are my last week videos from Le Mans (Bugatti circuit).

Kitcat Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Good stuff! You really "climb the curbs" (use all of the track). The camera set up is great and the rear camera is wonderful. When you pass the 996 Cup car I can see his anger at first as he chases you, then his resignation after he realizes it's hopeless. The KTM is the only car that seemed remotely competitive. What spec is your R400? Totally stock, or have you made some improvements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHKflyer52 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Onken, So what gear box do you have in your car....I suspect it is a sequential gear box from the sound of the shifts in your video's which cool to watch. Post some close up photos of your car as I think a lot of people would like to get a good look at it just like me. Thanks for the clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onken Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 In fact it's a Caterham C400 Eurocup from UK. So it has a 2L Ford Duratec engine with 220BHP. 6 speed sequential box from Quaife. the car is full stock. exactly Caterham's spec to run the C400 chalenge. I'll update my presentation later on. :seeya: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Do you have the rear race brakes? I am thinking ablut getting them. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onken Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Yes I do have the race rear brake: http://www.caterhamparts.co.uk/product.php?id_product=2976 The problem is that you won't have hand brake with the race caliper... The main advantage is that you'll get vented disk witch is very usefull is you have lot's of BHP and you are able to brake very hard and late and hot track days. if brake fluid is not strong enough even the Motul RBF600 then go for it other wise... Try to use Carbone lorraine brake pads at the front (big brake), brake reducing valve for rear brake, and standard pads at the back, with the Motul RBF600, if should be be fine.

Onken Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Back to Le Mans, tomorow, I'll be back at le Mans. Weather channel says rain. So Could be funny with 220 BHP even more cause I've never been on track under wet conditions. I'll send my video as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onken Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) Let's send a funny one, my passenger face on track. What until the end, I've done a slow motion on the last braking phase... Her neck was painful the day after...

Kitcat Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Your poor passenger, I don't think she was having fun! Amazing how much her head moved around compared to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onken Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Your poor passenger, I don't think she was having fun! Amazing how much her head moved around compared to yours. My girlfirend sits next to me, she really enjoy it and I don't know how but she enjoy being on track with me. But she has a lot of neck aches the following day. (I'm not pretthy shure if aches is the good word) When she's get out of the car after a session, she has a big smile on here face. It means everything to me. It's twice better when you share your car with your girlfriend About head moves, I gets the difference is because I have the steering wheel so it helps to maintain and as I am driving I can anticipate when I'm going to brake, turn and so on. Maybe I have neck a bit more developte as I how practice go kart before. C U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C U Onken, Maybe you should get one of these for your girlfriend so she dose not snap her neck when she rides in your car. http://www.saferacer.com/g-force-helmet-support-neck-brace-sfi.html?productid=903 The word aches is a good word and means soreness just so you know.

Thanks, this is usually what I use but I have forget it at home. I used to have one when racing go kart. Mine is a bit different: http://www.itaka.fr/fr/equipement/minerves/minerve-itaka-enfant,EQ732.00C.html This will help but it's very usefull when you are hit from the back, a lot less under gearchange and braking.
