BSEC 2024 Round 2 - Teesside - Team GRR
After winning at Whilton Mill by four laps from #84 Team Escargot we went to Teesside hoping for a good result and with a chance of winning the championship.
Once again our bike ran faultlessly thanks to Neil Williams excellent engineering and after 15 1/2 hours of racing this year we found ourselves battling with Team Escargot with 30 minutes to go and needing to make sure we did not drop another lap to ensure championship win.

Snetterton track day with Caterham and Lotus Seven Club 23rd Sept 24 - Caterham R400

After a wet start it was a good day with the Caterham club at Snetterton. I was working hard but didn't have quite enough power to keep up in this session, but the traffic kept me in touch
Goodwood Caterham 7 Club track day - 19/08/24 - Caterham R400

My second trip to Goodwood, and this time it stayed dry all day. This is a full session from later in the afternoon. Not really any battles to show this time as Goodwood has very short 10 minutes sessions with only 10 cars on track at a time (plus the planes coming in to land overhead!) so you tend to have a lot of clear track.

Great day with RMA at Brands. this is a few laps chasing a quick Caterham who was slightly reluctant to give way, but we got there in the end. It's always nice to have an appreciative passenger!

I lost count of the number of red flags, but still had a great day at Cadwell. What a track! This is a couple of laps near the end of the day trying hard, but failing! to hang on to a suitably quick MX5.

What a fantastic, but roller coaster day. From last place and 5 laps down at the start of the race to our first ever podium as class winners, moving into first in the very last 10 minutes of the race. Winning feels pretty good!

Quite a busy day, with a remarkable number of BMWs and Atoms who seemed to have left their mirrors at home! There were some clear laps later in the day and had fun chasing down and eventually catching another Caterham. By pure luck the camera ran out of battery just as he let me by. Great fun!

Managed to get a few dry laps at the end of a wet, and extremely windy day at Silverstone. It was a busy day with loads of race teams on track, all of whom were definitely there for a track day and were absolutely not testing or reluctant to be passed ain any way.

Every once in a while on a track day you come across someone who REALLY does not want to be passed. This was one of those days.

    Similar looking time in similar conditions, except my R400 (spec, didn't roll out the factory that way) is a K Series mated to a 6 speed box and 3.9 diff! Amazing to see the difference in revs (presumably you've got a 3.62 diff). ruclips.net/video/ZmVvFvDuQmY/видео.html

    Simon, I was on my first ever track day in the evening session on Thursday in my Caterham. I watched you and others before our session. I was cautious on track but had fun I am back there on Thursday 7th Aug and will continue to watch this video to remember lines and braking points. Thanks for posting.

      @@simonsewell I mainly use a insta360 as the audio tends to be okay with only a little wind noise. I have a Go-Pro and external mic, however I can never be bothered to play with the mic position and set it up. Ive got a Racelogic HD2 on order so hopefully that will improve my recordings next season. Hope to see you on track sometime 🤙🏻🏎

    I didn't find it too hard tbh, it was my first time there and I've done Donington 3 times as well. The armco is a lot closer at Oulton and the organisers made a big thing about hard the track was but I didn't find it too bad. There are a few places where I can see you could get sucked in to a big crash but if you're cautious (and I am!) then you should be fine. Have fun!

  • @MarkCopo

    Nice Video. How did you find Oulton compared to Donington, was it a lot harder? I've done Donington 3 times now and love it, but I've got Oulton booked for 22 July so these onboard vids help to give me an idea of the track layout.
