202008 Tim & Pete Nurburgring Caterham 620R

22.08.20 Tim and Pete in the Caterham 620R driving the 12.9 mile Nordschleife, Nurburgring track.
This was Tim's first ever passenger lap of the Nordschleife, needless to say he did several more laps with Pete (the driver) that unfortunately I didn't manage to get video footage of.
This lap was around 8mins 23seconds BTG with 2 adults on board, an average speed of 90+ mph and top speed of 150+ mph.
Pete has faster Nurburgring lap times but the amount of traffic and yellow flags (track incidents) are always an issue and slow his laps during Touristfahten.
Nothing passed the orange speed machine on this lap!

Apologies for the Go Pro wind noise, you might want to turn the volume down!

Holy shit. The driver of the white Cayman really knows what he's doing.

Very cool car. Well driven and balls to the wall. That Cayman driver was very impressive too. Also impressive was the silver MX5 at the early part of the track.

The white Porsche did not want to be caught. Good racing from both the Porsche and the Caterham.

Great driving! Props to that Porsche's owner for having the balls to let it stretch its legs

Ma non è la prima volta che la percorri vero? Sembra guidassi ad occhi chiusi e sapessi cosa ti aspettava dopo le curve... Sorpreso per la precisione di guida, nessuna correzione. Auto meravigliosa, sembrava attaccata al suolo...
👍🇮🇹

Wow. Appalling terrifying speed but calm deliberate precision. Making it look easy, the mark of an artist.

I love the fact that on a number of occasions other drivers are breaking for upcoming corners but these mad b'stards are accelerating! Love it. 😎👌

Ridiculously fast, feels like the other drivers are on a Sunday parade.

Most racing drivers seem to saw at that wheel like there's 6" of play, but your steering was probably the smoothest/steadiest I've ever seen at such high speed on a track.
Very very impressive.

[ezras]

This car flies like on a rocket engine..!! It also very steady - simply Amazing!! 💥😎👍
It's like a legal F1 for the road!!

[MJB]

Very impressive driving. Balls of steel. A joy to watch.

This man has really excellent driving technique.
He was observing the movement of the vehicle in front of him and overtaking it safely. This is the skill of an experienced driver!
Lightweight, high-output sports cars are prone to nervous behaviour at high speeds, but the driver kept the car stable with excellent braking while maintaining a safe trajectory to avoid such dangerous situations.
Even more impressive is the agile and precise way in which the Caterham Seven moves. It's amazing how lightweight it is, which allows it to accelerate to another dimension. And because it's lightweight, there's no need for stiff dampers, so there's no bouncing behaviour and it's very supple. I have rediscovered the beauty of a lightweight sports car.

The 620 R is bloody incredible, I just love Caterham, s 😊👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

The guy in the Cayman can drive, he's quick, he made the corners look easy too, great video

[pimianimavdo]

Heart pounding action and speed with a cool visual perspective. Respect. :)
Note : The scary part for me was the motorbike section. Nicely passed there.

[CreThought]

I was impressed with the way the other drivers were checking their mirrors for upcoming and faster cars. I'm always worry about that on track days but nothing so far. Good video. Thanks.

[deseast]

What a Great run, flowed nicely and well driven with no surprises, knowing how good the 620R is that Cayman was also fast and driven well.

[ilBarbonauta]

One of my favourite Nurburgring's race on the web.
