The Caterham 620r channel - 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 or at the Nordschleife (Nurburgring).
The Caterham 620R has a 2.0 litre engine based on the Ford Duratec which is 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 😊😊😊

Nice driving, great car, don't forget to keep Ur thumbs locked in, just in case 💪👍
Still can't hear the exhaust properly.
Where's my video ?
It's an S3 with a lowered floor, it was a custom build for Pete.
is your 620r, S3 or SV chassis?
great videos - but consider repositioning the mic?
What a car.
Can barely hear the car
Please see video description, I've changed the camera set up since 2020 and the following video records our fastest lap to date! kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZYyFu6Wzgdqoado.htmlsi=oWemdBrQfrn2bEQG
Love it. Prisoner theme in mind, all the best
Porsche advertisement 😁
Maybe... if they had overtaken us... but we caught them up...
Well Done and smooth execution
😂😂😂
Leida geil!💪👌🥳
I, am, XO4... You, are, number six...
Omg great driving but, arms and legs uncovered was he wearing flipflops too?? basic of rollcages but they wearing a crash helmet
I love these cars but absolute old school and death traps, a super 7 went under a lorry nearby me. No chance, dude was squished.
The helmets most likely weren’t for safety reasons. You don’t want Flies and other insects hitting your face or your head at 140 Mph.
Caterham academy motorsport full roadcage is a must and brill addition
Heaven sitting on the right, hell sitting on the left.
Tbh, the adrenaline rush outweighs the uncomfortable nature of the ride... 😊😊
good vid
How much more exhilarating with no roof , windows and doors........hats off to you Sir!
Thanks! Have a look at the video description... on more recent videos I've sorted the wind noise, thankfully 😊
Should have gloves on.just in case.
Awesome driving! But what happened to the sound?
That was amazing! VRoom!
I did not appreciate that you did not show us what the car looks like!!!
Wow this guy actually looks reckless
I hope these guys show what the car looks like...
Please subscribe to our channel to see more videos.
This little thing looks fast... but also dangerous...
The Caterham 620R is very fast and there is always a risk with motorsports but we love the adrenaline rush we get from it's performance 😊
I would sell my soul to drive that around the track.
For me it would be LeMans.
Just pay and do a lap then
In the beginning, the man in the silver Mazda be like: Wtfs that. 1/2 mile ltr the man in the Mazda be like: Wtfs that!
Excellent!!!✨
I was going to say, ‘some courteous driving by the cars.’ But instead, ‘Typical biker.’ 😂 Great driving. 👏👏👏
What a chase
Dang, thats my wish car....sadly its unsuitable for drive in Malaysia considering how low this car is.
Sorry can’t stand the wind noise 😱🤷♂️
In 2020 I didn't have an exterior camera microphone, in our 2022 and 2023 Nurburgring videos the noise is much reduced. Subscribe and take a look 😊 Btw, in the video description I do advise you to turn the sound down...
Balls to the wall I can't even imagine. But thanks for letting me try!
Fantastic driving..looks so safe and you're completely at one with the car.
If a caterham drive looks safe, you are not on the limit ;), also to much movement with his hands on the wheel. He should not be use different grips on the wheel for every corner. You can basicalls have the hands on 9/3 for the complete lap.
Looks so safe?? They were on way to the beach and took a wrong turn.
@@C42ST3N He's keeping up with an AMG GTR...I think he's doing alright
@@stephenauty2402 I am driving a Caterham too and i know that this is not on the limit by a lot. Caterhams do not have any electronic aids and if no wheel ever exceeds the limit, you are simply not on the limit. Take a look at hot lapping caterhams or the drivers in the front in caterham races. They are moving a lot.
@@C42ST3N Being "on the limit" means what it says ...very close to crashing , these guys are probably not wanting to do that and the driver has a passenger to take care of , however they are going very fast but in a safe manner and enjoying it immensely I would imagine
620R🔥🖐😁👍🥇💥🚀
This man has really excellent driving technique. He was observing the movement of the vehicle in front of him and overtaking it safely. This is the skill of an experienced driver! Lightweight, high-output sports cars are prone to nervous behaviour at high speeds, but the driver kept the car stable with excellent braking while maintaining a safe trajectory to avoid such dangerous situations. Even more impressive is the agile and precise way in which the Caterham Seven moves. It's amazing how lightweight it is, which allows it to accelerate to another dimension. And because it's lightweight, there's no need for stiff dampers, so there's no bouncing behaviour and it's very supple. I have rediscovered the beauty of a lightweight sports car.
Very good Very beautiful car 👍👍👍👏👏👏🛻🛻🛻
Very impressive lap, seems effortless in that car haha
Which engine?
Originally a Ford Duratec 2.0 litre which is re-engineered by Caterham and it has a super charger...
Which engine?
Supercharged Ford Duratec 2.0 which is modified by Caterham.
just goes to show if you gonna go the ring go little ,the hardest overtake was the wee vauxhall nova ,wow what a car bearing in mind its a mondeo engine
that was a good video
*Donington Park Circuit is in Leicestershire !*
The quaife gearbox was a disaster but the sadev box has been solid... 😊
Fantastic drive! How had the 620R ownership experience been? I’ve been reading some horror stories, in particular around the sequential..
We've had no trouble with the Sadev gearbox at all, Pete has changed the clutch set up over this winter to a double plated version though.
Come on get on with it.
Get on with what?
The guy in the Cayman can drive, he's quick, he made the corners look easy too, great video
looks twitchy and uncomfortable
The ride is just the opposite! The car is well planted on the road and handles like a dream.
seeing as how this is earning you money, do you have a work visa for germany, will you be declaring the earnings in germany?
Thank you for taking the time to comment 😊 Very sadly Pete and I only get to spend a couple of weekends each year at the Nordschleife and as we are not resident in Germany we don't pay tax there. And as for earnings from You Tube 😂😂😂 tbh, the revenue wouldn't pay for the fuel for a lap in the Caterham... But our channel has a lot of subscribers and we get quite a few views and comments on all our videos, so I guess our content meets our audience's needs and that gives us a smile 😊😊😊
