    Man I love those caterhams! I’d love to take part in such fun events but we don’t no more amateur racing series here in Germany, even the traditional vln has become pretty expensive to race in over the last few years. In the mid 2000s my 15 year old BMW with a cage was all I needed. Nowadays even the entry level cars are modified quite a lot and there are no more old cars in the field. All the privateers are people with thick wallets and modern touring cars. Even the Dacia entry has gotten a 300hp Renault racing engine for this year.. Last year that was the only budget car and it’s more of a joke anyways. Those caterhams are dream racing cars to me, traditional lightweight open roadsters at a somewhat affordable price if you do your work yourself and buy an older model. Keep on racing and have fun, thanks for the video!

    Hey Jack. Glad you've been enjoying the racing. I'm only participating as a guest driver this season as family life is getting in the way! On that basis, Knockhill was just a bit too far away. Will be competing at Silverstone in a couple of weeks though.

    Cheers Stu. It was a good race. Who knows?! It would have been hard work to get that podium if they hadn't thrown it early that's for sure. Chances of some degree of contact between everyone would have been high in those final few minutes too, so perhaps a blessing in disguise?!

    Surely the black Caterham with Williams on the rear got penalised for double/treble defensive moves and exceeding track limits in the last chicane?

  • @tomwyllys
    @tomwyllys3 жыл бұрын

    Hi Geoff, I think all of us in that pack got picked up for track limits infringements. Though none got penalised. It was hard defending for sure, but in my view fair on the whole.

    @@tomwyllys 99% upgrading to 270's as not a fan of the mixed grid format - Brands will revert back to Group A,B & C again which spoils it for me - hoping to give it a go as a 270 at Snett - and then stay in 270 in 2021 as should all be back to normal then. Blair said you had an awesome save in the first race when you looked to take him on the last lap in think - he said the footage should be good as he was amazed you save it - be good to get this uploaded ;-) Probs see you at Brands - catch up soon ;-)

    @@JohnCoxUK I'm not a fan either and really not keen on the Grouped races - we should all race everyone twice. Surely there's enough cars in both grids now to separate them (I think there were 20 or so 270 entries at Thruxton)? The (failed) last lap move / save is at the end of this vid. Yep, see you at Brands mate!

    cheers mate, mega race! Its great to see it from your perspective, your all about apex speed and nailing every corner. I'm all about late braking and parking my car in the way with a focus on exit drive, knowing the tow is waiting for me. It could have gone either way. I look forward to Brands where I'll have to up my pace to stay within touch!
