CHRIS CLARK Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 OK. The 'Ring showed that a well driven 'K' series Caterham could beat a Caterham Opel/VX engined car.It lasted the twenty four hours without a problem.To see the 1800 'K' mixing it with M3's, Porkers etc and stay out there not only running, but beating 'em was a great sight. The V/X was off the circuit for some time with problems (not engine related) but when it was running still didn't circulate as fast as the 'K'! Another old wives tale put to rest. Great result too for the team (125) running a 1400SS 'K'. Just excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL Wain Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Be fair Chris , the K did have factory and Minister support as well as Team Parker Motorsport . Probably more budget than all the other Caterham teams put together. But a fantastic result all the same and well worth going to see. ALan Wain OO51VEN Licensed to Thrill!!

EFA Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 I heard the recommendation to Caterham was to run a VX car with a sequential box if they wanted to last 24hrs......... Mr Coates decided that as VX were no longer a partner of Caterham this was not an option.

captain chaos Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Arnie, You could always go on a diet but then your car would have too much advantage over the K series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
