[@cinch]

Want to see how close 0.03 seconds looks from behind the wheel? We've published a bonus video comparing the two cars' onboards here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnWUf6Rnap6DfNE

Hi

[@Crippler.]

Properly wringing the neck out of that Caterham , love to see it

[@NiknakMotorsport]

Nice lap! I really miss driving Rockingham with mine, please do whatever you can to bring the circuit back into use :)

[@cinch]

Thanks! We'd certainly love to host events one day, when it becomes a possibility :)

[@danpiper426]

Would like to see a time from someone who knows how to drive it properly! Quite painful to watch but a good review nonetheless

[@P23AWR]

Chunk of time in that lap for sure!

[@Bally46]

Just watched and thought the same. Wtf are those steering inputs. Might aswell use computer keyboard arrows

[@bremms1]

Finally, someone that actually can really lap Caterham.

[@cinch]

Good timing - Sam's back in a new Caterham very soon. Don't forget to subscribe to see what we get up to 😄

[@mo-r-racing]

any plans to bring Rockingham back onto the track day calendar? i'd love to throw my radical around it.

[@cinch]

Not in the immediate pipeline due to the extensive work and ££ to get it fit for public use, but watch this longer term space. If the economic situation improves…

[@Shanefaber24]

Any update for re opening ? Drifting? !

[@cinch]

Hi Shane, unfortunately there’s little chance of a reopening of the track thanks to the extensive costs involved. But we are hoping to host events now and then, and drifting is high up the priority list :)

[@KrisFLton]

Why on earth did you have the roof up?!

[@XstaticState69]

The doors and windscreen on? And the Cat on???

[@stephenauty2402]

I think it's just for doing the talking part..he's very good at both in my opinion.

[@jmfz28]

Lotus Sevens and Caterhams should be driven like nothing i experienced. Its not about wrestling with the car but, show him where you want to go with the steering wait and softly compensate the oversteering that comes inmediatly after. I would have gone one gear higher in almost every corner.

[@sk8guitardrums]

This is the type of car you should buy and put inside a nice clean garage with a dust cover over it for a long time (if you have the money) because in the future when all the cars are crappy, heavy, automatic, battery powered pieces of crap, this Caterham 7 420R will be a diamond in the rough.

[@4g63attack]

I bet the drift king would have a blast with that

[@stephenauty2402]

It would be interesting to see if the 620 could beat the 420 ..I mean you'd think it would but on a circuit that's mostly curves and bends maybe the extra power won't be much of an advantage.

[@cinch]

We are certainly aiming to investigate this when the weather improves, Stephen! 😜

[@richardvanderen4793]

This company should work with Pemleton t 24 I Believe they would be a good match for each other

[@constantinrenoir8273]

Great try, as usual! Could you add more pedalcam views in your next videos to appreciate Sam's techniques please? But otherwise great!

[@cinch]

Thanks, Constantin! We actually set out to record a whole lap of the pedals but our camera clamp couldn’t hang on with the G-forces 😢 We’ll pack more duct tape next time!

[@constantinrenoir8273]

@@cinch Haha, don't worry! ;) Great, thanks! It's already very cool to be able to do this, and really continue to keep this angle, it's very informative (and Sam is a very good pilot :D ).

[@323Ondrej]

Not particularly clean lap and on wet tires, but good effort ;)

[@samueldowney2806]

Looks like an oversteery setup cost lots of time too.

[@cinch]

It was certainly a wild ride, Samuel! On a warmer day we’d expect those tyres to work much better. 620 R, anyone..?

The Avon ZZS tyres on the caterham aren’t equivalent to the cup 2 tyres on the GT4. With ZZR tyres the caterham would have been even quicker.

[@Tefloncoated]

I thought Rockingham was a car park these days?

[@cinch]

Not since we nabbed the keys 😛
