Caterham Tunalight R543!
(click above for car spec)

This week we go spec racing with a specially commissioned Tuna edition of the classic British Caterham sports car!  Tested and tuna'd by the boys at our very own Fishtank Motorsports secret facility (located at 123 Pebbly Beach Industrial Park, between SeaWeed Castle and the Bubbling Treasure Chest), this excellent package is based on the Caterham Seven Fireblade and though it is heftier than the base model it is still surprisingly agile due to the upgraded suspension package and has a nice increase in power to boot.


Class Specs

Weight:  500kg

Right now I am planning on making it, just to enjoy Suzuka. So unless something comes up, I'll see you tonight.

So power went out, that was nice LOL.  It's back now but I don't think I'll be getting back on the PS3 tonight since it's already almost 10.30pm.  Thanks everyone that came out, was some good racing! :)

Sorry we lost you so early. It was a lot of fun, thanks Feldynn. And now I finally have a tune for the Caterham that I really like.  :)
