Nürburgring Ring Bridge to Gantry 1st July 2024 Caterham 310R Time

Its been a quiet year on the racing front however a couple of weeks ago I went with some friends to the Nurburgring - now, I'd never really wanted to do the 'ring because well, the green hell etc - but being a petrol head / sometime racing driver it was kind of obligatory - so I needed to tick that box.
Box ticked and I will be going back - on a track day - I was a passenger on a tourist lap the previous day and no - if you want to do it properly go when its a closed circuit.
This was my fastest (and last lap of the day) - I got blocked a couple of times, confidence lifted a couple of times and made one hefty mistake that cost me a fair amount - a sub 8:00 BtG lap is very definitely possible.
This last lap came at the end of a near hour long stint - and at this point I'd done about 14 laps - although some in the morning were wet - so not a great barometer.
The 'ring is fast, twisty, bumpy, scary as hell and almost impossible to learn in 1 day but utterly brilliant.
The twisty bits a Caterham is way faster than most, on the long flatout blasts we suffer from our lack of top end - I managed the rev limiter in 5th and spotted 129mph (~200kph) at one point.
