Default Caterham Superlight

My new track car (blue). A 2002 with less than 1900 miles.
2.0 liter Zetec - 205 hp
6 speed w/ Quaife differential
Less than 1100 pounds

It's like my FF on steroids

Car arrives in about two weeks

Very nice. Looks like a blast to drive.

Where will you race it? SCCA? NASA? or?

Wow amazing machine. Looks like it has a lot of carbon fiber. For safety purposes, I would prefer the roll cage on the green one rather than simple a roll bar.

Congrats, make sure to post more pics once you get it.

Very tough. I've always wanted a Caterham/Lotus 7. Someday...

Since he said track car (instead of race car) I'm assuming it will be a DE car.

However, it can be raced in SCCA EP (IIRC - I know it's a production class).

There's a guy racing a Birkin at all of the NASA races in the Houston area. He looks like he's having a ball. Not sure what class he runs in.

Right now it is a DE/track car. It needs some modifications to go into racing: fire system, kill switch, full roll cage, etc. I'll see how it does on-track before I start modifying.

There is a great video of a Superlight very similar to mine lapping Nurburgring - impressive!
