The first championship race of the weekend. A really fun start with some very close racing, but I just can't quite stay with folks. Part of it is I have a passenger seat in for giving rides for charity this weekend, and the extra drag is significant. The other factor we discover after the race - the alternator wasn't working, so it may have been a low-voltage battery, affecting the fuel pump. A...

    Love your videos Tom. Would removing then bending the throttle pedal into a better position help? Make sure it still hits the pedal stop squarely so not to stress the cable. That could make H&T a little easier? Guessing this car is an SV with how wide the pedals are apart. Apologies if that’s too obvious. Regards Darren (420R) UK

    • @tom_forsyth
      @tom_forsyth Місяць тому

      I recently had a more experienced driver in the car and he said the pedals are all wrong - he was somewhat impressed I could heel+toe even half the time. So we adjusted the pedals (in fact in height, not laterally), and WOW so much better. I have some video of that I still need to edit, but yeah I instantly was getting nearly 100% of them spot on - huge difference. So - lesson learned - get other people to drive your car :-)

    I really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing. Some great respectful racing between you all on a fairly tricky circuit. Not much room for error! Watching from Ireland, I drive something akin to a formula continental I think , a Reynard formula Opel (gm to you guys? )Lotus. Regarding your heel/toe efforts, would moving the brake pedal,further left help? You seem to have a ton of room for left foot braking so maybe going a little further left would allow your right foot to flick the throttle rather than mashing it? Just a thought. Anyway, keep it up.

    Enjoy your videos. I'm in SoCal and raced Porches for a while with POC, but always curious about the Caterhams. Looks like a nice field up there, but I don't see many down this way. Are all the caterhams racing similar spec? NA 2.0 liter, I presume?

    • @tom_forsyth
      @tom_forsyth 6 місяців тому

      There's a pretty decent bunch of Sevens in California. Of course divide even "a bunch" by the huge area of SoCal and yeah it's not a big density :-) A few years ago we toured through SoCal on the way to COTA and did Chuckwalla which was super fun: ua-cam.com/video/UUTytMGJEdI/v-deo.html In April we're doing NorCal - Sonoma, Laguna and Thunderhill - which should be fun. I will of course have videos :-) Yes, all the cars you see are identical spec except for Greg's black car which is a 2.0 liter SVT Zetec (same as my road car!). It has a lower capacity, but it has variable valve timing and intake runners and it revs higher. You're right that most Sevens are 1.6 liter or 2.0 liter, and mostly Fords. These engines are NA 2.3 liter Duratecs, though for durability they have a lowered 6500 redline, so in practice they only make 200hp. This means that well-tuned 2.0 engines (as in the current "420R Caterham" spec) are very comparable. It's actually the same engine block - the 2.3 is just stroked a little from the 2.0, but as a result has a lower redline. Amusingly, this engine was actually designed by Mazda, so I believe a common place for parts is an NC Miata!

      The Caterhams are considered honorary open-wheel racers in our neck of the woods. It's not like our body work is robust - it's all fiberglass and the slightest contact and it goes flying as well - so no bump-drafting! And as you can see the cars handle so similarly to the Formula Fords, it works out well.
