That is a shocking machine. I think it's a modern version of the Lotus 7. Colin Chapman was doing an amazing job with handling all the way back. I saw very little body roll in the corners, and the car was sprung perfectly for that speed and that track. Really enjoyable to watch - thanks for posting it.
@@freenational true but if it was behind i guess it would have passed the caterham on the longer stretches, it kept up in the corners and was faster on the straights
Very cool car. Well driven and balls to the wall. That Cayman driver was very impressive too. Also impressive was the silver MX5 at the early part of the track.
The poor lad in the old MX5 was driving his socks off, thinking "I'm ahead of the Caterham, I'm staying ahead of the Caterham, I'm still ahead of the Caterham, I can stay ahead of the Caterham" then the traffic opens a little and BOF!
Yeah, Cayman dude took the carousel like a pro. But man, that ease of acceleration of the Caterham... I wish my car weighed under a ton so it would behave like that.
This man has really excellent driving technique. He was observing the movement of the vehicle in front of him and overtaking it safely. This is the skill of an experienced driver! Lightweight, high-output sports cars are prone to nervous behaviour at high speeds, but the driver kept the car stable with excellent braking while maintaining a safe trajectory to avoid such dangerous situations. Even more impressive is the agile and precise way in which the Caterham Seven moves. It's amazing how lightweight it is, which allows it to accelerate to another dimension. And because it's lightweight, there's no need for stiff dampers, so there's no bouncing behaviour and it's very supple. I have rediscovered the beauty of a lightweight sports car.
@@georgesheffield1580Well I owned one as my only car for a year and invincible as you feel, I’m happy to admit I could never have driven this fast. Impressive.
A caterham 620 is called "620" because it has 620 hp per ton (it actually has 310 hp for 500kg) That is better power to weight ration than even the fastest hyper cars. Which means it really IS ridiculously fast.
@rientsdijkstra4266 a real piece of engineering art but is only for purists. The regular SUV driver can have a heart attack if he has to drive this car just one morning to the job. Clearly is not intended to them, but is fair to say it.
I was impressed with the way the other drivers were checking their mirrors for upcoming and faster cars. I'm always worry about that on track days but nothing so far. Good video. Thanks.
I bloody loved watching that! One of my favourite cars and you drove it well. It's clear you know the course. I was pleasantly surprised by the high level of awareness and courtesy from other drivers.
Very impressive driving. Balls of steel. A joy to watch. Wow. Appalling terrifying speed but calm deliberate precision. Making it look easy, the mark of an artist.
Most racing drivers seem to saw at that wheel like there's 6" of play, but your steering was probably the smoothest/steadiest I've ever seen at such high speed on a track. Very very impressive.
Thanks! This video was 4 years ago, I've attached a link to a video from our latest trip to the ring where Pete set his fastest time to date! 7 mins 47 secs ruclips.net/video/I2UxklVSIgY/видео.htmlsi=R9W8-_3SW5VjsBD-
Ma non è la prima volta che la percorri vero? Sembra guidassi ad occhi chiusi e sapessi cosa ti aspettava dopo le curve... Sorpreso per la precisione di guida, nessuna correzione. Auto meravigliosa, sembrava attaccata al suolo... 👍🇮🇹
Heart pounding action and speed with a cool visual perspective. Respect. :) Note : The scary part for me was the motorbike section. Nicely passed there.
My fave so far. I loved the car view, seeing the Cayman taking the corners ahead adds a whole other dimension. The cars all being aware and pulling over. As a motorcyclist I have to say that he was the only one who did not move over, simply miss one corner, move over, and get back on it. Otherwise brilliant.
Well crap, I ran across this right before I went to bed and couldn’t stop watching it! This is as close as I’ll ever get to the Nurburgring (RIP Sabine Schmitz). Now the adrenaline level is so high I’m going to be up all night. Oh well, might as well watch it again. Awesome open air driving skills, plus some really hot cars. Thanks, for the righteous video.
You are in a very expensive Porsche going flat out but this little orange bugger won't go away. Epic driving That NB silver MX5 was hauling ass as well. I need to make my Mx5 round a track
I was so impressed by the other drivers on the road. Except for the first Miata, and then the biker at the end, this is one of the most aware and considerate track days I've ever seen. Wish everyone was so aware and considerate
I have watched a lot of Nurburgring footage, I have watched a lot of stage rally footage, this was the first time I ever got "the willies" from watching onboard camera.
Was like, this is boring... then realized how wrong I was! Holy shit. When they were chasing down the Porsche my heart was pounding! Porsche driver is a beast.
I'm wearing gloves on my motorbike, not sure about driving a Caterham without them ... but, awesome car! One of my favorites, certainly has its own character and following.
Auto increible y piloto increible, tal cual, y sin guantes, que genio!!! Incredible car and incredible driver, just like that, and without gloves, what a genius!!!
wow, great video, thanks for sharing it. Nice to see a none super exotic doing the Burg. Dont get me wrong, love seeing the crazy ass times of mega cars but somehow the "underdogs" are more fun to watch...
The word on the street is to get the 620R..... and that's no joke! you roll up to the gate , and get to business!! Loved watching the suspension do its thing, while the rest of the car was dead straight!! Thanks again... you are too cool !!!
Quality footage and driving. Who would have thought on a lap of the ring,the only road hog would be a bike 🤔 I bet a "clear lap" with the white Cayman as chase/ follow car would be a dream. 👍
We had one lap following the Apollo Gumpert (ring taxi) which was acting as a sweeper in front of us, now that was an amazingly fast lap but unfortunately it wasn't filmed :-(
Caterham R500 vs Porsche 996 GT2. There are two videos for this "battle" on the Track4Fun channel, Lap 1 and Lap 2. The following link is for Lap 2. ruclips.net/video/sxwRgSZiKTk/видео.html
Can see why Caterhams have held lap records for years on race tracks! F.A.S.T! MX 5 was going for it, nice to see what looked like an old MK1? Corsa/Nova GTE on there too :) 🤙🖖🤘👌✌👍👏
Wow, what a buzz. Being a biker I’m embarrassed for the biker that held you up. I thought you had to keep right with faster stuff coming through? Very exciting and enjoyable. Thanks 🍺.
Pete and I are bikers too! Pete rode his bike over to Germany and so did Tim (the passenger in this lap of the Nordschleife) whilst I towed the Caterham. Unfortunately we were unable to get either of the bikes on the track on this visit to Germany due to fluid spills and track closures... :-(
If I took my bike there I would be admiring the view, looking for a coffee stop, pulling over for a wee, being a total nightmare for others. 😂 it’s an age thing! I have subscribed here now to watch your thrilling times as you tame the track. Sincerely, have a blast with your cars and bikes enjoying the opportunity to maximise life. 🍺
They do have to keep right , when I was last there we came round a bend to find a biker lying in the middle of track …..it’s a dangerous place 5 mins later 3 guys stoved an e46 m3 and were standing right in the understeer off point , our driver German 2500 laps got out and got them other side of the Armco , doing 140mph in m3 we got overtaken by a gt3 that was itself being overtaken by a corvette zr1 on the gantry straight , it truly is the Wild West
Having seen the number of bikes that come off I'm glad that i didn't take mine on. The surface on the racing line has been worn so smooth, & in the wet it's faster & a lot safer to go round the outside of the bends. This biker did just fine. Tim x
Love the clunk of the sequential dog box. I had one, a hewland in my RWD corsa, total different driving experience. He hit almost every apex, the advantage of open wheels
Wow, amazing that an open skinny tired car wiped the track of the rest, white Cayman excepted. Well driven, what a thrill it must have been. Great job guys!
Properly fast piece of kit. The way it piles on speed just about everywhere in the rev range is mental lol. Only the Porsche managed to stay ahead. Beautiful vehicle I’m happy seeing you enjoy it. Drive safe!
@@andreap1008 I love how the car just straightens out every turn. The open wheels just hit every apex like it's on rails. Was the Porsche ahead an AWD car. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the overtake. Without the passenger in the Cate, I think the Porsche would have been toast. Thanks for the video.
Actually you would be surprised. A Porsche Cayman 718 (the one in the video) and a Caterham 620 are both £50k starting price. Caterham's are surprisingly expensive.
wow wow - top notch.So glad i came across this. went for a rental thrash at Silverstone in a much slower version, but this is something else. Glad you got the skills for this. Couldnt stop smiling as you were on to try and gain the Cayman!! Just as we all would try :). As you pulled back into the carpark i thought a lap is quite a work-out in your car. Great fun. Its a different story too in your car with the open air/lack of protection. what performance though when you know other cars have spotted you and are staying in their lane. this lap really does the car justice and the caterham-mad father-in-law (probably-sensibly not an owner fortunately ;) ) will love watching it to see to get the full experience. happy lapping buddy.
The 620R is a crazy insane car it's power to weight makes this killer car what it is it's lack of down force and driver assist make it the ultimate drivers car that's a absolute fact if I had e funds this would be the car for me
Thank you. Pete is the driver and owner of the Caterham, I'm his girlfriend and I look after the RUclips channel and the passenger on this video was our friend Tim :-)
Wow, for a first drive that is nuts! Both in terms of driver skill and the Caterham's performance. You were wizzing past everyone yet the Caterham looked as if it was only stretching its legs to about half of its potential speed.
Lol, these are road tyres on the Nordschleife track as its classed as a public road in Germany (your vehicle has to be road legal to go on it). In the UK we do Track Days at several different circuits and Pete uses racing tyres (slicks) which give even more grip and traction!
We did catch up to the Porsche in the first place... but it is a quick car with a good driver and I guess it would have cost around £150,000 more than our little orange car.... 🙂
Nothing passes the orange speed machine!
except the porsche

@@Rombbb no. He didn't. The speed machine closed up to the Porsche during the lap.
@@Rombbb, I don't think so. The porsche was in front and Pete caught up with it.
@@freenational true but if it was behind i guess it would have passed the caterham on the longer stretches, it kept up in the corners and was faster on the straights
Holy shit. The driver of the white Cayman really knows what he's doing.
They, the Cayman, are a blast.
Agree 💯!
Double the weight in the corners and blasting.
@Guima Channel driving faster with a heavier car vs the orange rocket designed to do this job supposed to be better in circuit.
Too funny, I went to comment and saw yours JUST as the white Cayman popped into view, aaaaand completely forgot what I had to say. 🙄😘😂🤣
Or vice versa
Very cool car. Well driven and balls to the wall. That Cayman driver was very impressive too. Also impressive was the silver MX5 at the early part of the track.
yeah that mx5 was flying, you can tell the driver was experienced
The poor lad in the old MX5 was driving his socks off, thinking "I'm ahead of the Caterham, I'm staying ahead of the Caterham, I'm still ahead of the Caterham, I can stay ahead of the Caterham" then the traffic opens a little and BOF!
I thought the same, that Miata was hustling!
Yeah, Cayman dude took the carousel like a pro. But man, that ease of acceleration of the Caterham... I wish my car weighed under a ton so it would behave like that.
That MX5 had to have some pretty cool stuff done to it surely. Was properly pacing - was really impressed with that.
This man has really excellent driving technique.

It is a Lotus afterall ( Caterham)
Very impressive driving. Balls of steel. A joy to watch.
A Caterham R500 vs a 996 GT2 [8m 15s]. Witness balls of titanium.

The white Porsche did not want to be caught. Good racing from both the Porsche and the Caterham.
Ridiculously fast, feels like the other drivers are on a Sunday parade.

What a Great run, flowed nicely and well driven with no surprises, knowing how good the 620R is that Cayman was also fast and driven well.
Thanks, Pete has just re-watched the video and laughed, he said I could have overtaken the Porsche just after the gantry.
@@andreap1008 If the gantry is right at the end it was nice that you didn't. it would have been pointless. The duel was over. brilliant lap.

never seen the drive up to the ring before like this. Every racer's (and simracer's) dream
fucking AMAZING video
Thanks. I kept the video whole rather than editing, just for that reason!

Very very impressive.
It's a Lotus steering system
You should try one out ,the steering and handling will amaze you ( originally designed in the 50's )
That was the best video from Nürburgring I've seen. Open wideangle-wiew instead of filming through the windscreen-periscope! Very nice!! 😃
Thanks! This video was 4 years ago, I've attached a link to a video from our latest trip to the ring where Pete set his fastest time to date! 7 mins 47 secs
ruclips.net/video/I2UxklVSIgY/видео.htmlsi=R9W8-_3SW5VjsBD-
Well controlled drive, just on the limit. What is perhaps even more surprising, is how rapid the Porsche was in the turns!
Well it is a cayman, arguably a better handling car than a caterham being mid engined.
Ma non è la prima volta che la percorri vero? Sembra guidassi ad occhi chiusi e sapessi cosa ti aspettava dopo le curve... Sorpreso per la precisione di guida, nessuna correzione. Auto meravigliosa, sembrava attaccata al suolo...
👍🇮🇹
Questa è stata la prima volta in pista per il passeggero Tim :-)
I love the fact that on a number of occasions other drivers are breaking for upcoming corners but these mad b'stards are accelerating! Love it. 😎👌
Lol, the Caterham has bike speed and amazing grip, plus Pete is an experienced driver = amazing fun!
Heart pounding action and speed with a cool visual perspective. Respect. :)
Note : The scary part for me was the motorbike section. Nicely passed there.
That's why the Caterham is the best little racing car in the world. It's not about raw horsepower. It's about the experience. Holy moley, what a ride!
This car flies like on a rocket engine..!! It also very steady - simply Amazing!! 💥😎👍
It's like a legal F1 for the road!!
I can't believe it's a 4 banger. Incredible car, incredible driving
Cool little car , looks like a serious fun machine and handles like its on rails ,
That white car at the end he was chasing ran really well too .
That’s impressive takes a lot of guts to go that speed in an open top car
omg what a beast of a machine! also great driving! tailing that Cayman all the way trough!
Surprisingly very stable for the speed it travels. Loved the video!
Great video, lovely to watch that orange machine going like the clappers!
Glad you enjoyed it
the way you guys both pulled your visor down was so cool (3:57)
This was really fun to watch. Most are at some horrid angle, pinched, etc... This is cinematic.
Excellent driving ! plus Lots of orange cars on track that day !
Good work lads. That's as close to the spirit of the place as you can get.
Absolutely!
Damn impressive driving! That Porsche driver was on his game too!
What kind of Porsche was it?
That Porsche took One look in his rearview and was like...."NOPE!/NEIN!!"
@@BenMJay Cayman GTS.
Ya, he was killing it
Reminded me of my hero Jim Clark,not many people can drive at 10/10 but you Sir were as smooth as silk for the full lap. Exceptional !
The guy in the Cayman can drive, he's quick, he made the corners look easy too, great video
Totally safe but flowless therefore very fast! Well done mate, amazing driving! Respect!
The Caterham is anything but totally save. :D

Great how one drives the holy balls out of it when trying to catch someone. Fast.
It's not just a matter of power to weight, but also power to aerodynamics, and there the Caterham isn't as good...
Impeccable lines... Not an inch off anywhere in my humble opinion. Smoooooth... A joy to watch.

Lol, these are road tyres on the Nordschleife track as its classed as a public road in Germany (your vehicle has to be road legal to go on it). In the UK we do Track Days at several different circuits and Pete uses racing tyres (slicks) which give even more grip and traction!
I was thinking the same thing as he went hard into the corner 🫣
This just makes me want a Caterham that much more!
Well done, Dude, that was really impressive! Greetings from Germany. 🙂
What an amazing ride along - cheers. Great skills.
That was awesome. Thanks for the upload .
Very fast, very smooth. Brilliant!
Thanks!
That thing bloody flies. Amazing!!!!
this sure is the best Caterham sales pitch
Pete loves his Orange speed machine!
I'm so impressed with the white Porsche
We did catch up to the Porsche in the first place... but it is a quick car with a good driver and I guess it would have cost around £150,000 more than our little orange car.... 🙂
You would have overtaken if the bike allowed the pass.
The white Cayman is also superb.
