The Caterham for me all the way. Best sounding (so crisp), looks great with a decent length bonnet, and looks to be the most power oversteer ready car ever !!

Man, Evo is making videos on par with Drive but without the fees. It is greatly appreciated by this gear head. But no Lotus, WTF?

[GrotrianSeiler]

And the sound of the Ariel Atom...I could listen to that part over and over again. Has to be my fav.

[sagex]

Why does the 12c can am look SO much better than the standard car? I've never liked the looks of the 12c but this GT can am just looks sexy!

This is what evo need to be posting rather than some of their latest efforts. Absolutely superb!

[raizalmohammad]

Long live the Mighty Caterham best sports car of all time.... hmm wheres my tig welder..and the 4130 steel tubings...going to build one...

[teezafc]

this man hands down has the best job in the world

[OcanaldoPedroBastos]

Absolutely Superb! I'm actually going to watch it for the second time now...

Jethro should have he's own weekly video car review. This was one of the best videos to come out of EVO since the 991 GT3 review, and Jethro did that as well.

[SimonOcean]

A really enjoyable video: actually more enjoyable than the text in the magazine. Thank you for posting. Really brought it all to life with the sounds and stuff of the engine.

[leonbaum]

Been a long term follower of EVO and this is by far the best test to date. Mr Bovingdon bring is together beautifully. Please take note Nick and let Jethro give the video reviews on the long term McLaren.

[ZerotheWanderer]

When he romped on that Caterham, I got goosebumps.

Such a beautiful sound coming from that little gokart.

[lukaspazdera]

this is such a perfect video... track day cars, great driver, incredible music and editing... one of the best from EVO.

[MrSlashr]

One of the top 3 vids I've seen this year. Well done lads

[sermerlin]

That music at the end with scenes it's like jethro had accident on track that took his life and are just showing some of scenes where he's speeding and has so much fun... Kind of srsly sad that end is. xD

[KJMTurbo]

I'm so glad they chose the Caterham, such a timelessly beautiful piece of English heritage. It's a dream of mine to own one before I die.

[jethrobovingdon]

Thanks for all (ok, 'most') of the feedback. Sadly we couldn't get a 991 GT3 in the UK for this test but you can see it on the same track in our GT3/12C/GT-R video. It's also just been at our full Car of the Year test and a video will follow.

The Works GP was there because it's a brilliant car for trackdays and because we include cars on merit rather than reputation/prejudice. The Megane wasn't because it's not a new-for-2013 car.

[akshayar]

The reviews are so straight forward and open. I just love you guys.

[HPMvdBerg]

I saw this video when it came up, but had to wait till the perfect moment to watch it.. So today I made fresh coffee, rolled one up and sat down... Amazing guys, AWSOME video!! And the fact that im gonna build a 7 soon... made it even better, thanks!
