Three laps of Cadwell Park in my Caterham R500 Duratec Superlight. This video includes my fastest lap time of the day of 1:36.200... The car was running Avon ZZR tyres, Nitron one way adjustable shocks, and the standard R500 exhaust and piper cross air filter. For more Caterham R500 antics please visit my blog at www.caterhamr50...

I have seen many videos of Caterham owners driving on various tracks and always often that they were not getting the best out of their machines. This video is different. You are pushing the car very well indeed through what looks to be a very enjoyable circuit. Well done. It was a pleasure to watch.

Cheers from USA! I've been obsessed with the Nurburgring for most of my life (and disdained flat circuits for just as long) but only just found Cadwell... it's on par with Monaco; a track of my dreams. Thanks for sharing.

Very well done sir, looks very neat and tidy, also pretty damp fast, most of the cars I work with will lap Cadwell in around 1:50, amazing just how far the 7s have come in performance since the S2 lotus in the late 60s. Only thing I noticed was the amount of understeer around the place, I reckon there's nearly another second there if you can sort out that understeer, get the car sliding in the tight stuff and get it balanced through the faster corners.

I'd argue this was the mini Norshliefe not Oulton Park, It's got me wanting to put it on in sim racing, But only got this track on PC2, I get rage qiut when I race on project car's tho, Lol, I'm not on a PC yet, Struggling to pay bills let alone save for a PC, Console sim racing is too limited for me now, I'm doing Norshliefe in 7 mins, 6.30s in GT3 car's, So I needs get on a PC soon as possible tho... Some top driving tho, That gear box looks solid, Looks hard to put it gear, lol, Better like that tho, We all want a stronger gear box, lol... Great example of great driving an what looks a great little track....

Sorry but this is terrible driving. Blip engaging way after the rear axle has lost energy, MASSIVE understeer, upshift using the clutch. Shouldn’t have a painted helmet really - why heel and toe if you don’t engage the engine at the peak revs. You shouldn’t really post a clip if you’re crap

dont know who you are , but id like to see you do better , ,it didnt have massive understeer a couple of times he got understeer due to brake locking, and as for criticizing using the clutch i think you will find its a syncro box not a dog box ,and as a matter of fact if you use the clutch on a dog box ,you will get twice the life out of the dog rings
