Caterham Roadsport B Race Car - Castle Combe Track Day Lap

Here is a lap in a Caterham Roadsport B car around Castle Combe. I recorded one session on this track day and this was the clear lap that I got on that session. One slight mistake selecting 5th gear instead of 3rd into the first chicane, but apart from that it was ok.

Car is a 2006 Caterham Roadsport B ex. race car. 1.6 K-series engine, 120bhp, Avon CR500 tyres. Recently setup by McMillan Motorsport for driver and passenger. Felt great, well balanced and good fun.

Tidy lap, love the opposite lock at Camp :-)

Looks like it was around 1.20 which is great for a Roadsport B, particularly without a slipstream. I held the B lap record there from 2004 to 2007 and it was only a smidge under that.

@blackadm1 Thanks for the comments, was a tidy lap apart from selecting 5th not 3rd into the 1st chicane...keep doing that in the Caterham! Did you race in the Roadsport B class in 2004? Our car we just use for track days, I don't race, but it was raced by the previous owner in 2006 in the Roadsport B's. I saw your video, pretty scary in those conditions and impressive driving with one glove!

@hbwold Yes, Academy in 2003, Roadsport B in 2004 and Roadsport A in 2005.

I won the championship in 2004 by one point after a season long battle between three of us - very entertaining! The video I posted was from a one-off race I did in 2007. Enjoy the Roadsport. Its a fantastic car.
