it was just a matter of time
 
i have always been a closet fan of the caterham cars. it started with a little episode on green st in pasadena when i mistakedly tried to keep up with one in my 67 camaro, 406 cid back in 2000. that experience truly indoctrinated me into light-makes-might. thoughts?

Lighter=faster for sure. I have seen these cars around and never thought much of them.. I do now.

What kind of racing it that time attack? It looks fun more fun then autocross for sure beacause you can stretch the cars legs morea

Had the pleasure of owning a '62 Super 7 for a few years. A brutal ride which was fun for a half hour or so and then you realy wanted to get out. Lots of fun though even with the 100 horse 1500 Cosworth. Frame is a bit fragile but Caterham has made it stronger over the years.

thanks for sharing, teamwild. yeah, i guess for me it kinda connects with that first ride i took at autopia in disneyland, real elemental and crude but fun as hell. but you are 100% correct in that if a car beats you up, it does kinda suck after a while. i'm just in awe of its sheer performance, though i haven't even rode in one!

xlexustech, i am not sure if that is a time attack course, but you're right they sure get to open it up!

Now that's what an Autocross should be!!
