Caterham Roadsport Race Car & Radical SR4 - Bedford Autodrome GP Track Day

Me in our Caterham Roadsport B road legal ex. race car against a friend in a Radical SR4 around Bedford Autodrome GP Circuit track day. Recorded with an onboard 4Kam Bullet Camera.

Radical was a lot quicker, especially in the corners with the great track setup and slick tyres, but he was kind enough to let me through a few times.

Slight off around the middle of the video, making the textbook error of trying to follow the person in front and end up braking too late and on the grass!

Specs:
Caterham - 120bhp, 530kg + 2 people, Avon CR500 Tyres. 230bhp per tonne.
Radical - 190bhp, 450kg + 1 person, Slick Tyres. 430bhp per tonne!

That Ford 1.6 engine sounds MEAN. I would love one of these!

[hbwold]

It's actually a Rover engine but thanks anyway!

How much does this one weigh? What's it's top speed?

[hbwold]

Weighs around 520kg without driver/passenger. Top speed is around 115mph.

This is by far the best onboard footage I've seen on youtube.

By the way, isn't the Caterham tail happy at all or are you taking it easy?

[hbwold]

Thanks for the comment.

Caterham is not really tail happy in the dry, only has 120bhp so can't really power oversteer, you can make it unbalanced to slide if you feel like it. Think I was trying to be smooth to catch my friend in the Radical.
