Hi Jimbodizzle, thanks for the feedback and I am acutely aware of what I was doing incorrectly. However as I have stated elsewhere this was the first ever track outing for my newly built car. The suspension settings are way out, so I need to get the car corner weighted on a flat floor set up soon. The idea of sharing the video is so that I can share with people how the car improves and obviously my driving and appreciation of the car as we both improve. Thanks again for watching.
James, Thanks I think this is one of the better positions for the VIO-POV Camera too. The lens is wide angle enough to show enough of the inside of the car and the outside too!! Le Mans sounds like a god choice for a track day, I would like to take my car there too someday!! Nige.
Thanks for the feedback, and yes I know about the shuffling, it was the first outing ever for the car since I built it, and it was not yet run in either!! Also the suspension settings are way off, but this was just a first trial run to see what needed to be set up on the car. thanks for watching and the comment though.
Paul, I assume you mean Caterham wise? Prior to my current R500 Duratec I had a K Series R400 with the Caterham six speed box. Prior to that and my first Caterham, which I built also from a kit was a 1998 K Series 1.8 Supersport. Nige.
Hi Joecaterham, no sorry wont be going to that event as I have a business meeting in San Francisco that week Hope you have a good day with no rain!! Make sure you post some video clips too!! Cheers, Nige
This angle works best with the camera. I can't wit to get one; I'm off to a track day (actually 2) at Les Mans at the beginning of August. Mulsane & Bugatti circuits; I can't wait!
Hi There, yes this is the latest Caterham R500 2.0 Litre Duratec engine with 263 BHP. There is a clutch as its a six speed sequential quaife gearbox, flat shifts are suitable, but at this outing I was running in the whole car, engine gearbox etc so was not running up to the red line. Hence the reason for the short shifts, not sure what the steering ratio is, it has the standard caterham steering rack, IE not the optional high ratio rack, thanks for your comments.
Jimbo, thanks for the feedback. Just a word of advice for you, you talk a lot about your skills and experience, but you have not published anything about what you have done, so we are all waiting to see your video content and learn from your fantastic experience too!! Nige.
Hi and dont worry about it, I take comments like that in my stride, as I know that most people are just envious of my new car ;-) Also the vast majority of people who make rude or abusive comments don't realize that they are doing so publicly, which makes them look more of a fool than any one else. I am sure it will come back to bite them at a later time!! Glad you like the videos, and I hope to be able to do some more track days soon, and post the videos here too. Cheers!!

There's clutch pedal for this sequential gearbox? It's the 1.8 230 bho or the newest 2.0? Do you know the steer ratio? Thanks for the infos!
Waste of a good car....
