Not a race, just a track day.
And as the saying goes, its more fun to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow.

Change the track to one where the Ferrari gets to spread its wings, and the Caterham goes bye-bye.

But, you have to admit, both drivers looked like they were having a damn good time.

BC.

Looked like the Ferrari overheated the tires...started getting twitchy just before the pass

The R500 even had a pasenger onboard

The video was remarkably stable - great video. I liked when the Ferrari flashed his brake lights and let him know, "Hi, you're driving very well, but I don't want you to plant your $50,000 Caterham in the back of my Prancing Horse, so I'll let you pass."

The dude in Caterham can definitely drive. He messed up a couple of times, but overall that was very nicely done, and I respect somebody that goes 10/10th like that. Seems like having a passenger would be a big disadvantage in a car that light.
