Default Caterham challenge

Well thanks to Matt this what I`m upto tomorrow.

https://www.caterhamparts.co.uk/prod...roducts_id=189

Looking forward to this should be able to make the top three and qualify for the final........................................... If there is only three people turn up. LOL ( cos the top three go through in case you have`nt read it. )
Looks like the weathers going to remain dry so should be a good day.
Off down to the thistle hotel brands straight from work so won`t be on here tonight.

Once again thanks for the original link Matt.

Oh well dam more than three people turned up
I was doing well laying in third place ( enough to qualify for the second round in september ) after three of the four courses. With all 12 drivers within a 4 sec spread it was tight going into the 4th timed course. During my run I had a half spin and stopped facing a direction I could`nt recover from quickly.
Ended up sixth.
Anyway it was a brilliant fun day I`d never driven a caterham before and was up against quite a few there who had their own.
Really enjoyed it and it`s made me want to get the Porsche out on a track soon. So I must get on with it.

He stole my third place The 1st and 2nd guys were well good and I think they were about 1 sec ahead most of the day and the rest of us 10 drivers were spread across 3 secs so it was very close.
