Mark Durrant Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Last year saw many great performances but who was the best driver 🤔 Now the overall championship was deservedly won by Brodie however, as good as our point scoring system is, the only true test is a head to head in cars of the same specification. Therefore, to help blow off the cobwebs from the close season and to finally end the arguments I have arranged for a Caterham slalom day at Silverstone on Sunday 11th March. For those of you not familiar with these fun days, you will drive Caterhams own cars specially prepared for the day by Hyperion Racing. There will be a number of different slalom courses to test your driving skills and it will be against the clock. There are 30 places allocated at a cost of just £120 each (normally £169 to anyone else) which also includes a sandwich lunch and hot and cold drinks throughout the day. However, if we can muster 40 drivers Caterham are prepared to lay on extra cars and run two courses on the day. Entries will initially be restricted to those who entered and supported the championship last year and places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Magnificent prizes will be awarded for the fastest times and hopefully we will also be able to include a team competition. Those of you who have done these events in the past know what a great crack it is. Make it one of your first Se7en events 2007. So if you want to come along and test your talents against the best please send a cheque for £120 payable to Caterham Motorsport to Mark Durrant, 15 Searles View, Horsham, West Sussex RH12 4 FG.

neil.cavanagh Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Mark, Do you know if they are running an SV still as one of the cars for the slaloms. I was dangerous (yes, even more than normal) when I tried to use a whippet 7 at this last time. (using the brake pedal was an issue!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrelevant Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 neil: I think they have an SV for deformed oddballs who have abnormally long legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Neil I was told that you were an expert with the brake pedal and this explained your times last season . I am fairly certain they still use an SV but I will check with Merrick next week when he returns from leave Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenEvans Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Mark, have any of the stars expressed an interest so far? e.g. Griff, DaveJ, Brodie? I'm sure we would all like to have a pop at them on a level playing field 😬 Ken Edited by - KenEvans on 20 Feb 2007 22:36:12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 Ken Yes the idea is to have all the top drivers from each class plus anyone else who wants to join us. That said I think some are either a little tardy or are running scared 😳 I will chase a few up this week to ensure we have some a good competition Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
