That Caterham is eatin' 'em alive.....

It is obvious that some drivers on the N-ring forget to use their rear-view mirrors...scary!

Wonder what a Caterham R500 Superlight could do there.....?

Damn, I saw the g meter peak at 2.1x in the long carousel corner! I wonder what tires it was on?

Driver was talented/fearless. He says he's done 5000 laps there, that would help! No one else was as remotely fast. He turned a 8'07" even w/being blocked/slowed/held up by other drivers, wrecks, etc. Top speed seemed to be 125-26 mph. Not bad for a 175 hp Caterham.

Video showed on track elevation changes more clearly than I have seen before.
