I worked for caterham composites from 2013 to 2015. Was a great small team.

This is amazing! I also loved the Caterham, I always root for the underdog and the car also looked damn good in that racing green. Such a shame they folded, that era was very cruel to challenger teams. Don't forget to do the next episode in 1080p so we can enjoy the fruits of your labour in HD 😀

Brillant job! It's any petrol head F1 fan dream to have a F1 gp car at your home garage, and Caterham was one of the most beautiful cars all seasons they joined. Hope to see more episodes soon!

Thank you. I will be uploading the second episode this weekend.

What an incredible project to take on. Will be watching with interest as you progress with this. The Caterham F1 car was certainly one of the best looking on the grid. Glad you are saying this example.

Amazing work, sad these guys couldn't stick around, the hybrid power trains really gentrified the sport for only the super elite teams, it makes you wonder if they could have lasted a few more seasons running the v8s VS the power units.

5:56 I had my company logo on the left sidepod. Caterham did a crowd-funded thing for the last race of the season to scrounge up enough money to participate. I think there was an outside chance of scoring a point, and that would have brought enough prize money to be solvent.

I really liked it when Caterham brought the Lotus back to F1, thanks!🤩

As a QPR fan its interesting to see another Tony Fernandes vanity project requiring a total rebuild. Good luck, and nice work with the chassis.

Been following you for quite a few years over on Twitter now, happy to see you've taken to video format to show us how it's done. One thing though, at 360p the video quality is quite low, so I hope that'll be fixed in future episodes

Thank you. Yes now at 1080 for all episodes

Awesome! I have been a fan of F1 for many years and an employee of Safran so have always loved this car. So happy to see people taking ownership of such magnificent machines. Would love to do the same but it is a bit difficult here in Aus!!

Have you seen the You Tube Video Exploring the abandoned Caterham F1 Factory. From guys whose channel is Live Fast There are a ton of body molds left behind in an old shed that you need to get! Respect for your restoration. Chris in Miami

Credit to you because this is a monumental project to take on. I probably would have stopped in the first month. 👍

I've got one of the wheel retaining nuts that they sold off to raise funds to get to the last couple of Grand Prix. Great to see one being rebuilt!

I have a brake disk off of one of these. Back when they went bankrupt they auctioned off parts and I picked up a rotor for the novelty of it. Grabbed a pad at the Goodwood FoS for fun too, though don't know if they would actually work together.

@rolux4853 10 ай бұрын

Now this is an amazing video, I’m thankful that it showed up in my recommendations! I still wonder what it costs to bring something like a somewhat modern F1 back to life.. I can’t imagine obtainable for a regular middle class citizen. Yes I saw the suggestion in the video that it was considered cheap, but I really doubt that I could afford it as a regular engineer.

Hi, yes it will be running again in a track. Thanks for the kind words

May i ask why only 360p video quality ? Part of the budget ??

Very nice job! It is very diffcult to rebuild these cars with no manuals and a bankrupt team, especially on a budget. Only the scrap Force India nose looks really off. However still better looking than the nose they started 2014 with. Please tell me you are going to try and make this driveable? This has to go around the track for one last time.

100% driveable in 2024, thank you for the kind words

On a budget is pretty much how they run things over there anyway.

The hybrid era killed backmarker teams, Created barriers of entry and has now only seen championsip wins from just two teams in 11 years. Pretty Grim.
