    I've been hoping you'd do a lap in a Lotus 7 clone. Caterham seems to be the best of the lot so now I'll have to wait until you go in one set up for racing. Those things are crazy fast. Great video! Thanks!

    • @another3997

      Caterhams are not Lotus 7 clones, they are the Lotus 7. When Lotus wanted to discontinue the 7, becausecthey were still selling well, Caterham Cars bought the rights to the 7 design and the tooling from Lotus.

    Good driving. Though, I thought he was being modest when at first he said "it's not that fast." I expected it to be a lot faster, but that thing is like slow civic performance with above average handling (in this config). It's nothing like the 620R

  • @landypaule

    Interesting question Misha.. do you think brexit will affect trade at the Nurburgring? Just noticed the amount of British that visit and didn't know if you think it would change much with border controls etc?

    • @Simple_mechanic_guy

    • @mrlilmatt123
      @mrlilmatt123 7 років тому +2

      Oh don't get me wrong, Brexit is just what this country needs! Just wondering if Misha thinks it'll change much at the ring.. personally I'd imagine not but worth thinking about! :)

    • @EdwardV20
      @EdwardV20 7 років тому

      I think less British would come as often, but those who really want to, will go there anyway. Every industry will be hurt by brexit, as for the Ring, it'll only be in the first years I think. It's a matter of time and getting used to the new situation. I'd love to be able to go to the UK without too much fuss, but that won't be possible either. From a global economic stand point it just makes for an annoying situation, only thing I can hope for is that it actually works out there.

    • @Simple_mechanic_guy
      @Simple_mechanic_guy 7 років тому

      I hope you'll right Edward, but maybe you're too young to remember when borders were "there"... even between France and Belgium it was a pain-in-the-well-you-know.
      And ask Misha if he didn't had a Dutch passeport, but only Russian... Sometimes it's such a discouraging mess.

    • @mrlilmatt123
      @mrlilmatt123 7 років тому +1

      Edward is right.. It's the the first few years while everything is settling that it'll be annoying. After that everything will work itself out :)

    Ah, that brings back memories. I urgently need to put my Caterham HPC on the Ring again. Funnily the 355R is very similar to my car, not only with roughly the same power (the HPC is a bit heavier) but also with its slightly understeery cornering behaviour.

    I was lucky enough to own one (1400 K series) and when you are driving it, it is heaven. You also get a LOT of positive comments and looks and thumbs up from passers by and people you are passing by.
    In continuous production since the '50s, arguably the greatest true sports car of all time.
