Damn at the start the Caterham fellow just runs all the hell over the blend line doesn't he? Looks like the Lola driver handles/drives well in a straight line using the loud pedal.

yes it looks to be quite lively on track for a trackday type day. you wouldnt get away with it on a UK trackday they are quite keen. some of the overtakes under braking and into bends are a bit risky given the vast speed differences between the cars on track. good action tho, good drivers by the look of it.

Does that R500 come equipped with that racing gearbox as standard or is that something added? He certainly goes through the box nicely. As for the Lola....WOW in a straight line that car pulls away in a big way and that R500 is no slug.

not sure tbh, its certainly fast shifting. both appear to be trying hard!
