Best Nurburgring video ever ! 1.000.000 views. www.track4fun.com
Пікірлер
Amazing bravery. Unless you have actually driven a very fast open topped car you just cannot appreciate just how f'in scary it is! It's at that point you realise how falsely secure you feel in a hardtop car. It changes your appreciation of fast driving FOREVER. One of the best Nurburgring videos I've seen to date!

Fully agree. Especially if you look at how weak the windshield on a caterham is and you realize, than the only thing that prevents you from getting decapitated is the rollbar behind you, in case you flip the car over.

That one, on a car so light, is indeed very very difficult. It is not enough to just lift the throttle a bit and match the steering with the car swiveling, you have to match _everything_ to get back to traction _and_ going forward. Also, it took _two_ corrections, that's terrifying.

What a beast! What a tremendous race! Caterham wins the curves and the tight places, the Porsche just holds its own there, and then (sometimes) reels the Caterham in on the long straights. The number of times the Caterham breaks loose and slides is hair-raising, frankly, but the driver is simply magnificent. If the R500 were more aerodynamic, perhaps it'd win those straights too. Scary fast car! Hats off from this Yank to the Brits!

Colin Chapman my have been a unpleasant fellow in real life, but you have to give credit to the man on the Lotus 7 design(Caterham clone of). What is truly remarkable about the Caterham is not the grip levels but how the chassis and suspension performs once the grip has failed. I know it looks like its on the limit but actually its beyond the limit on its little skinny tyres, of course it takes a driver who has balls to see it through but the Caterham is pretty forgiving, I know because I use to track day one a few years ago, all the more impressive considering the Lotus 7 is a late 1950's design.

Indeed. In the 60s he said he would build an openwheeler that was so light it would literally fell apart going across the finish line. There are many drivers still alive today who could attest to that. Also, every car he built was a bit different to the others, even in the same category. So when you bend your Lotus at an historic meeting its not enough to order replacement parts becausethere is no guarantee they will fit

Sehr gut gefahren, 10x bestand die gefahr abzufliegen, dieser Caterham ist einfach sehr nervös ein konstantes Fahren scheint hiermit fast unmöglich aufgrund des Leistungsgewichtes/Hinterradantriebes mit der puristischen aerodynamischen Form. In einem Langstreckenrennen ist spätestens nach 10 Runden ein Abflug fällig, da diese Diskontuinitäten im Renntempo/am Limit nicht immer ausgeglichen werden können.

doing 7:40's on the ring though traffic with no roof or front roll hoop arrangement is BALLS OF STEEL
Adam Naylor also has the benefit of not having to deal with the hassle if you crash.
At 2:10 my heart stopped.
I love how you can see the Front wheels react to the road. :)
I thought overtaking on the right was verboten!
Great driving by both. Amazing the Porsche could be so close to a light and powerful track car as Caterham R500.
Yep when you see them both flying past everyone else you realise how good both drivers and their cars are.
Nice run! Love the staccato of the exhaust on deceleration in the turns. Always liked the Caterham cars and this one is a beauty!
One of my all time favorite driving videos. I keep coming back to this time after time for the past 2 years! Great driving my friend! This isn't an easy car to drive on the edge like this. Cheers!
That was all kinds of epic, I love the Caterham! Good working behind the wheel. Also, the Porsche does well, great tension between the two cars. I can feel it watching 😃🥰 great shifts, absolute legend 🙌
This is SUCH an amazing video! The driver, the track, the car, the battle! I am a huge Porsche fan but this time it got its ass kicked! only where power mattered could the porsche keep up and only in the first half! only thing that surprised me is how unstable the caterham was in high speeds (example 2:12) but I think I was more scared than the master behind the wheel. thank you for uploading one of the most interesting vids of the nurbungring and keep them coming!
I had a small heart attack at 2:10, goddamn it. I would have quitted.
Right!? I almost crapped myself just by watching...
"I would have quitted." Just in case (American) English isn't your native tongue, the word you want to use is "quit." "Quitted" might bring out the A-hole grammar cops. But yes, my heart skipped a few beats as well.
Awesome job Sir! Massive commitment bringing the expense and power of the Porsche to nought...
One of the best laps I've seen! Thanks for sharing!
He drives like I THINK I can 😂
Epic. Sweet car. Smashed the Porsche. Great driving - one of the best / most exciting drives round the NR i've seen!
Fantastic lap!! Best I've seen for ages!!👍👍
scary moment at 2:11 sideways landing ,hopefully there was some suspension travel left :\
HAL900032 I think there might have been a little jab of the brakes there too just to unsettle it a bit more :/ haha! He's on his toes well and truly to catch it though!
awsome driving!! so intense....@ 2:10 i would shit in my pants right there~
+Chen Tim it was a bit hairy lol
+Chen Tim Shit, after that I wouldn't do another lap without a roll cage, no way in hell, it was a hair away of trashing the car and himself to death.
+Experimental Student - It's pretty clear that this man can drive, so I would say calling it "a hair away from death" is a bit much. If it was me driving and it happened, then yes I would be the first to admit that I'd just poked death with a shitty stick and run off. As a side note - Caterhams do have roll bars
Neil Scrivener Just because he is a good driver and most importantly he has a lot experience, but it's not too much, a couple of degrees more on the landing angle and the Caterham would roll over and that windscreen would go fast, so death would be a 50/50 possibility.
Ah jees man, it's car racing. It's dangerous. Of course there are huge risks involved, no matter how safe you try to make it. But isn't that what makes it fun?! Dude, just enjoy the amazing vid and stop the "he should be more careful" pessimism
That's intense! The Porsche is impressively composed at that speed.
This is an excellent video. Great piece of driving on both guys part. I find it interesting to watch the R500 just dominate the Porsche in the tight spots yet as soon as the Porsche has a chance to get above 140 it just walks away. Very good comparison on how choosing the right weapon for the job means everything.
Colin Chapman my have been a unpleasant fellow in real life, but you have to give credit to the man on the Lotus 7 design(Caterham clone of). What is truly remarkable about the Caterham is not the grip levels but how the chassis and suspension performs once the grip has failed. I know it looks like its on the limit but actually its beyond the limit on its little skinny tyres, of course it takes a driver who has balls to see it through but the Caterham is pretty forgiving, I know because I use to track day one a few years ago, all the more impressive considering the Lotus 7 is a late 1950's design.
They don’t have little skinny tyres anymore.
Thanks for that astute comments. I am considering purchasing a track car. That information about the behavior after the grip fails was very helpful. Caterham, Ariel Atom, Goblin? Mind is boggling.
Caterham bought the Lotus 7 rights
Must say the Porsche's being driven superbly to keep up with the caterham. Sure it loses through the bends and makes it up on the straighter bits but still. I mean with the laptimes being set that is very impressive. What tires are both cars running?
Still come back to have a watch of this ,great video,and skills to match👍
One of the best Nurburgring lap battles I've seen!
R500: Handling & Acceleration GT2: Handling, Acceleration & Top speed Good battle.
That's how you DRIVE!!!
Nice to see a guy drive the Caterham as it should be driven, great video.
Best I have seen. Great skills . Even had my heart rate doing overtime just watching. Great little car.
That was very satisfying
Colin Chapman was a genius.
Indeed. In the 60s he said he would build an openwheeler that was so light it would literally fell apart going across the finish line. There are many drivers still alive today who could attest to that. Also, every car he built was a bit different to the others, even in the same category. So when you bend your Lotus at an historic meeting its not enough to order replacement parts becausethere is no guarantee they will fit
To add speed, add lightness. Probably best quote I've ever heard.
Best Nurburgring lap on KZhead... Excellent driver
A remarkable pilot in an amazing automobile. That was one breathtaking race, Congratulations!
5:41 JESUS CHROIST!!!
what game is this? the graphics are fairly good
SMC Gmail shut up boomer
@@Tejvir7 Your brain looks very sick kido
I do think he needs a serious near miss to stop being a danger to himself, but at least he's doing it on a circuit.
Graphics are shite looking at this in 2021 lol
Brilliant driving! Got to love the Caterham!!
Fantastic driving from the both drivers!! That was a great good hearted competition!
Anyone can go fast in a straight line, but going fast through corners takes some skill! Great driving
Caterham as much fun as a GT2 at 20% of the cost and 20% of the running costs. Great British made isn't it ????
i'm thinking about buying a caterham in a few years. though it will probably be 165 or maybe roadsport.
As much fun. No. Gt2 isn’t as much fun as the caterham
M-Art who cares
don't forget 20% of the safety
@@youtubecomments5951 Have you owned both?
What a treat to hear some proper heel-toe action with that barky Ford motor!
Wow...awesome drive. Thanks for posting this video.
3:48 oh my god 🤩
Huge balls!
Great pair of hands... and balls! Pure racing drive! Congrats to both of you!
Soooo cool watching both laps, great driving.
Porsche Driver ordered a Catterham the next day :)
As a second car? :--))
..forth or fifth prolly
The Porsche ordered a decent driver the next day... people can't just compare two cars with completely differently skilled drivers.
One thumbs up is not enough.
Thanks for posting! Awesome skills!
Fantastic lap, that things shits. The GT2 had some balls but realised it wasn't going to happen. Thanks for sharing.
what a car....buy brutish..... i just love english cars.
brutish? boy i never heard of a brutish car before. i do know british tho
@@Willie.dangle spell police out again haha
@@Willie.dangle a car that is brutal and made in england
2:10 OMG
Holy Canole batman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best Ring lap videos I've seen.
Impresionante conducción.
Epic drift @ 3:47
Epiiiiiic
Sehr gut gefahren, 10x bestand die gefahr abzufliegen, dieser Caterham ist einfach sehr nervös ein konstantes Fahren scheint hiermit fast unmöglich aufgrund des Leistungsgewichtes/Hinterradantriebes mit der puristischen aerodynamischen Form. In einem Langstreckenrennen ist spätestens nach 10 Runden ein Abflug fällig, da diese Diskontuinitäten im Renntempo/am Limit nicht immer ausgeglichen werden können. Aber nur meine bescheidene Meinung, die eine Runde ist beeindruckend + s.o.
Der Porsche könnte viel schneller fahren, wollte es aber offensichtlich nicht. Vielleicht sind das Freunde, die einfach zusammen fahren wollten.
Superb! Had me transfixed.
just discovered this gem of a video. amazing drive. Though I have to say I am v impressed by the composure and handling of the 996 GT2. R500 could not shake the GT2 and from the looks of the way the GT2 moves around the track it looks like the GT2 driver isnt working as hard as the R500 while keeping similiar pace. Both good drivers both good cars. love this video.
I would've said OH FUCK at 2:11 holy crap lol
He did....you just can't hear it over the exhaust :-)
I crapped myself just watching it !
I wonder if the Porsche is running his A/C and has the Blaupunkt cranked.
Amazing skills! Nice work. Both awesome cars. Awesome track.
Power to weight is everything! Great drive, great vid
I shit myself at 2:14!!! Been there omg....
If inside the porsche was such a good driver like inside the Caterham, the Porsche would have won!
RV6284 nope, power to weight ratio in the caterham is higher than the porsche
RV6284 you have no idea.
The driver in the Porsche is a good driver,both drivers in this video are great drivers!
Wrong. 996 Pilot was driving the car v hard and smooth.
The Porsche was sometimes surprisingly slow.
Fantastic vid. Brilliant driving from both drivers. The wiggle at 2:10 would have stained the seat but was well held lol. Also nice drift at 3:50 😎😎
I think the Rear View Camera is covering over the passenger footwell where this guy has his huge Balls stowed away 😁.. Kudos to you Sir, an exceptional Lap. 👌
love caterhams, and this r500 is no longer than fastest version they have
That r500 is awesome the 620r that replaced it is an absolute beast
@@superseven7947 Old comment I know, but these days Caterham doesn't even make the fastest 7. That title goes to the Brunton Stalker. Only a few hundred pounds more than the Caterham, but more rigid with truely modern inboard independent suspension front and rear and up to a LS V8 under the hood. It's nuts.
Bravo pour cette belle bataille à tous les deux!
Just shows you how much of a genius Colin Chapman was. The basic design of the 7 was done in the 1950s. It still rips a modern day supercar a new one in the corners!!
a lot of understeer in the entrance of corners and oversteer in the exit but looks incredibly fun
Watched this a few times , both drivers really capable.. I've a mac1 type r so obviously love the caterham, but respect to both drivers.
Full credit to both drivers. 2 Brilliant cars both so Iconic.
Dario is an überdriver. I enjoyed every second of his run. Just fantastic.
2:11 holy shit! I could hear the sound of the brass balls clanging together! 😂 On a serious note, amazing driving!!! Definitely the most exciting onboard I’ve seen from the ring, awesome! Also congratulations on finding a Porsche driver at the ring who was a good sport and let you pass! 😂
So apparently I can hold my breath for 8'25 - wildest Nurburging lap I've seen so far, daaaamn
Amazing driving skills you got there great race.
My nerves would be wrecked for rest of the day - I bet you were shacking when stepping out the motor? Good sportsmanship as well! Loved every second of it! Thank you
Pretty good for something that appears to have the aero package of a house brick. how many times did it leave the ground...3 ...4? Superb driving.
Man - that 4 wheel drift at 3.50 was heroic! That last little flick coming out of the Karussell made me wince ... awesome performance. Mind you, remembering blowing up my own K series there made me wince too :(
Holy cow...how have I not seen this before!
great cars, both drivers great skills, a beautiful piece of motorracing
Colin Chapman was a genius car designer and builder. The driver of this little car is giving the Porsche driver fits. I wonder if after this video was shot, the Porsche driver had nightmares seeing that Caterham in his rearview mirror? Kudos to the Chaterham driver. This is the most skilled driver video of any I have seen shot at the Ring. Wicked skills.
Fantastic piece of driving, really wanted to see a video of the Caterham from the GT2's perspective. Show's just how good the Porsche is too.
Terrific driving and gutsy little car.
Brutal... Conduçao fantastica
Amazing video, great driving. Have you posted any more?
The Caterham needs fatter rubber to stay put. Still, an awesome machine. Gets the Porshe in tight spots but looses in the long straights. Great on board video and big thanks for not adding music.
Great driving from both pilots,
Amazing car, amazing skills !! Thx for that video !!
Great car control and an exciting drive.
Balls to the wall!!! Outstanding!
Whoa 2.11 was scary!! nice work, looks like so much fun. Cant wait to get out there
very nice to see, and good gear changing. but what happened with the gear selection in the last quarter? clutch issue?
Riuscire a guidare al massimo una Caterham in questo modo, richiede una abilità da vero Pilota. Uno dei giri migliori su Nurburgring mai visto.
