Indeed that is a precision tool and looks to go frightening close to where you point it. No play at all.

Nah just a little twitch It was still a bit slippy out and only 10 deg c. It does give you a bit of warning, which is nice... If that was in the S i'd probably have had a large moment and a quiet word with myself

Chassis wise does it feel like an exige or completely different?

Here's a little clip from Brand. Cold and still drying out but the car was awesome round there. Had a little issue with 6th so some tweaks are being done to the setup of the box, but otherwise flat upshifts work very nicely! Love it.

Were you there yesterday? Wish I knew I'd have popped round!

It looks very quick!

I some ways it feels similar, the damping levels and the steering feel quite alike, as do the grip levels, but the handling is quite different and I find the Caterham much more controllable. Engine position and dimensions come into play there.

Yep, I should have said, Win! Passenger laps would have been in order.

As an aside, there were 2 new GT3s there yesterday. Chris they are fast. Another level to the 997. One of the was being driven properly too. To the point the guy got sent home

One of them wasn't called Mark by any chance? Mate of mine from the Cotswolds just got a new GT3. Mind, he isn't a track fanboi.
