      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.

    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.

      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.

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.

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.

    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

    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.

    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. 👍

    • @andreap1008
      @andreap1008  2 года назад +3

      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 :-(

      @Opiti72 Must be modded or a high spec model? Thing leaves the Caterham in the dust acceleration wise. Look how easily it walks away at 9:15

      It's not just a matter of power to weight, but also power to aerodynamics, and there the Caterham isn't as good...

      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, 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.
