why were you waving at 7.00? left and right hand side? haha

[JimboD1965]

@LHB2311 Because if you look closely you can see that that section of the circuit was under a yellow caution flag & the marshals waving the flags like acknowledgement that you have seen them otherwise theres a higher risk of them reporting you on an incident form for failing to obey the flags!

Lets see, a 50+ year old chassis and suspension design, NO aerodynamics, ROAD registered and a girl driving that Seven to boot. And you almost lost? DUH!

[JimboD1965]

@paullubliner Where did the girl bit come from? no girl on there. 50 year old layout maybe but not design I dont think, probably the only interchangeable bit being the driver. Anyway, you obviously love your Caterhams so go find a vid where one wins so you can beat one out over it!

[paullubliner]

@JimboD1965 I heard "SHE" referring to the other driver. EXCUSE ME. I have owned and raced two Caterhams. I'd like to race against the clock AGAINST you in your own car. Then you can do whatever it is YOU do to cope because you would no doubt lose.

[JimboD1965]

@paullubliner The other driver was a bloke called Julian! not a girl . EXCUSE YOU why, cos you put all the antagonistic comments you could into your first post? No way! As for you having owned Caterhams before then great, they are fun & good at what they do & can be very quick, there is no denying it. But yeah, you get all the" Billy Big Bollocks" come on here talking about how quick they are but in reality thats it, just talk. As for COPING with loosing to a Caterham, no, never done it!

[rong9tagger]

did anybody else go " fuckin yess! cmon!" when he got past the caterham?

FANTASTIC video, damn this guy is pushing hard.

[TifosiAlonso]

You are a lucky guy :)

@JimboD1965 oh right i see thats cool :)

the caterham was like, what the fuck you want @ 0:35

@JimboD1965: Sorry, the design is 50 years old. The Series I Super Seven with Coventry Climax engine had the De Dion rear set-up from the Lotus 11. Frontal geometry change is relatively minor. I had Chief Engineer Jez Coates modify the lower front wishbone arrangement on my second chassis (an '86) and this design then became standard. As to me antagonizing you, beware, that is an old racing trick to "Psych-Out" one's opponents prior to the race. You did fall for this little bit of chicanery!
