pistonbroke Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Funny you should mention Caterham . Just reading my local "free rag" motors adds , whilst sat in the little room Anyway, there's a New Car road test article on the New Caterham 7 roadsport ! Begins with "Whenever an Icon of handling excellence is required the caterham 7 is usually the bench mark against which all others routinely fail to measure up " then a load of other codswallop about the car
Asterix Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Not that they're scared of the competition but... "Who can enter - Any member of the Lotus 7 club with a Caterham or Lotus 7"
Bazzer Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 It would not really be the fastest Caterham in the world if a Westifld won it would it Bazzer
RS WST Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Anyone can turn up and have a go as its a run what you brung day. Only Caterhams can win the competition though. Theres nothing to stop any of you guys turning up and showing a few of them up
peterg Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 But just in case any of you think you could be the fastest, just remember there are some 300bhp Cateringvans attending
pistonbroke Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 yes but ................. The Classes Class A = Maximum 120 bhp Class B = Maximum 160 bhp Class C = Maximum 210 bhp Class D = Maximum 260 bhp Class E = 260 bhp ++++ Class F = All bike engined cars
RS WST Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Fastest last year was a 10.6 sec on drag tyres I believe
peterg Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Dave Edmands did a 10.679 last year (Hart engined 'special' Caterham) but DannyLT got close to sub 11sec and has had some more stuff done to his engine since....
Karl Woolf Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 yes but ................. The Classes Class A = Maximum 120 bhp Class B = Maximum 160 bhp Class C = Maximum 210 bhp Class D = Maximum 260 bhp Class E = 260 bhp ++++ Class F = All bike engined cars How are they going to police that then Might enter in my 90bhp VX then
bill shurvinton Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 So the 9.7 posted by the car James Lambert now owns is still the record
volvorsport Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 hmmm , whoever did a 15sec in a roadsport wants shooting . i might try to get mine up and running again for this event , ive got all my software ready for 20 psi - that should be about 300 bhp - if only i can get the traction .
Norman Verona Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Karl, because everyone in the L7c is very honest, that's why. We may get somewhere soon in having an "allcomers 7 type" competion. And Bernie, it's the benchmark because...... it's the benchmark.
Fat Arnie Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 "Karl, because everyone in the L7c is very honest, that's why." Thats rich coming from you Norman.
