Caterham 620R Track Days
Приєднався 11 жов 2012
Pete's need for speed is fulfilled these days by Track Days in the UK and Europe driving his Caterham 620r and I'm lucky enough to be his partner and his passenger a lot of the time. Pete raced in his younger days both in Karting and the Caterham series and even though I am biased, he is still an excellent driver in his 60s. Pete prefers to take passengers rather than lapping solo, so you'll see a number of friends and family joining us on Track Days in the UK or at the Nordschleife (Nurburgring).
The Caterham 620R has a 2.0 litre engine based on the Ford Duratec which is heavily modified by Caterham and also has a supercharger, 0-60mph is achieved in a quick 2.7 seconds! It develops 314bhp per tonne and as the car only weighs 500kg, hence the model name 620R - approx 620bhp
Hope you enjoy our adventures 😊😊😊
Here is the link to Pete's fastest lap of the Nordschleife, Nurburgring in 2024 - in 7mins 47 secs:

Pete driving his Caterham 620R on the RMA Track Day at Donington Park, UK with Andrea as passenger.
A short day for us as we noticed damage to the car's brake discs and so packed up after this run.

.... I Had GOOSEBUMP'S Watching this 2 Years Ago.... Greetings from Bradford West Yorkshire 🏴✌️ "" VROOMMMM "
Thankyou! This video was 4 years ago, August 2020, please have a look at our fastest lap of the Nordschleife, Nurburgring to date, filmed in 2024: ua-cam.com/video/I2UxklVSIgY/v-deo.htmlsi=0Q5TQiSvV5L-FQVs Greetings from Derbyshire!

Windscreen!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone have details on that 981 Cayman? Those topped out at 400hp. Would love to know what engine is in it.
It's weird having the passenger on the outside of the car, what if you have to drop someone off? Wouldn't they essentially have to get out of the car on a side that has oncoming traffic....that or the driver would have to exit the vehicle to allow the passenger to slide over to exit on the curb.....
Ah, we live in the UK, that's why the Caterham is RHD. The Caterham is trailered to race tracks in the UK and to Germany for the Nordschleife, Nurburgring. The Caterham is far too powerful to be manageable driven as a road car!
When I rocked up in my Ford Fiesta 1.25 they wouldn't let me go round: something about the track not being designed for a car as fast as mine.
Lol! This video was 4 years ago, August 2020, please have a look at our fastest lap of the Nordschleife, Nurburgring to date, filmed in 2024: ua-cam.com/video/I2UxklVSIgY/v-deo.htmlsi=0Q5TQiSvV5L-FQVs
@@andreap1008 I watched your 2024 fastest lap - extremely impressive driving. This might sound silly coming from a stranger, but I did worry about your safety if you'd spun off or rolled. I expect your Caterham has a roll-bar, but I'd like to have seen you wearing better upper body protection or race suits since you're very exposed in your car. Stay safe and keep enjoying what you do! I have a question: I was reading the specs on the 620R and obviously the acceleration and power-to-weight are immense. I was surprised at the top speed being around the 150mph mark - is that deliberately limited? Or is it to do with the car not being especially streamlined - I imagine the drag starts to really mount up at high speeds. And I get that the Caterham's charm and appeal is it's stripped-down somewhat vintage/classic looks - as opposed to other supercars where crazy power is packed into the same kinds of glamorous but dull bullet-shaped body-shells.
The 620R is named so because it's performance equates to 620bhp per tonne, the car weighs about 520kg and so it would be expected to deliver around 310bhp our Caterham develops a little more at around 320bhp, hence topping out at 155mph. The car has a track day roll cage and we wear 4 point harnesses and helmets. We choose to wear light clothing as the weather is very warm in Germany when we visit. The car is very exhilarating and there always has to be a conscious choice and awareness of the risks when taking part in adrenaline sports. It's not for everyone. You are very correct, Pete has other, more technically advanced sports cars but he prefers the raw driving experience of the Caterham!
@@andreap1008 Thanks for the reply - I understand about accepting the risk that comes with high adrenaline sports. You know I think that I wasn't giving you guys a "telling off" - I'll leave that for your mothers! Obviously you take safety very seriously and to be fair, the Caterham looks like it's permanently glued to the tarmac - partly by design and partly by your driving skills. I'll look out for your next video - keep keeping safe :)
I don't know which one of you 2 have the biggest balls or are the craziest. That was insane to watch, too bad that biker blocked the road. In terms of skill, that Porsche cant compare. You guys owned the circuit.
Thankyou, we love our little car! This video was 4 years ago, August 2020, please have a look at our fastest lap of the Nordschleife, Nurburgring to date, filmed in 2024: ua-cam.com/video/I2UxklVSIgY/v-deo.htmlsi=0Q5TQiSvV5L-FQVs
The first four minutes of this video are completely unnecessary, and then the rest of the video is just wind noise. Just an absolute waste of time unless you're deaf and skip ahead. 0/10
For folks who have never been to the Nordschleife but are planning to go, the first part of this video gives them a better understanding of the location and parking, I think it also builds the tension too! There is a note on the video description about the wind noise - which is always difficult to manage in an open top car.

Is there any races like Nurburgring in SPA Frankoshamps?
You can take part in an organised track day at Spa, the track is 4.3 miles long. The Nordschleife Is 12.9 miles long and on Touristenfahrten days it is 30-35 euros per lap.

@@andreap1008 I've already seen it, probably the reason this got recommended into the feed. Nine minutes SAFELY in heavy traffic with slow-downs for stewards assisting a breakdown is perfectly respectable. You were flying past most cars in open road.
