Caterham Factory Test Car.

Here's something different.

While filling the van up with fuel in Sevenoaks a red 59 plate S3 pulls in to the next pump. A large bundle of wires is coming out from under the nearside of the bonnet & feeds into the passenger side of the car under the sidescreen.

 

I had to go & ask. Turns out it was a guy who works for Quaife & the car is full of sensors to measure pretty much everything with data logging in the car. The car had the 210hp Duratec engine but Avon ZV3 tyres I suggested he took it easy if it started to rain!! 😬

Testing traction control perhaps 😬

Not forgetting Percy the Polar Bear who recommends

With a wet road 210hp & ZV3 tyres I think you would need it! That & possibly clean underpants

 

It was quite a loom that was draped around the outside of the car,would be interesting to know just what they were measuring but it's probably all hush hush

So much ZV3 bashing... I'm a big advocate, as they're freeeeeeee 😬 And hell, you shouldn't be driving like a hooligan on the road now, Martin
