Rumor has it that there may be a rematch this Sunday to see if the Caterham can go any faster.

What can I say? At last we get the chance to show on prime time TV what a Caterham Seven is all about – fun, excitement, pure adrenalin, value and being different in a conformist world! How proud I am of our association with this phenomenon. We know the R500 is fast and can set the fastest lap time (already my engineering gurus have locked themselves behind a closed door!) but don’t forget that it also has outstanding road manners. Yes, of course I would have loved more coverage; the fact that it is British and an icon, its heritage, it is so much cheaper compared to the 4 cars above it in the Power Lap league, etc, but I am reassured by the grin on Hampster’s face as he drove the yellow R500, the fact that Francine has purchased a Caterham for herself and that the studio applause was audibly decibels above the norm when the lap time was disclosed. Thank you for your support and I am just glad you enjoyed the coverage – it made my Sunday.

Also, note that in the video, the drivers side mirror is knocked over in some shots and not in others, proof of what I've said before that the footage of the TG laps are pieced together.
