Booked an R300 SV (for my fat ass!).
Should be good fun, not having driven Castle Combe or had any really extended time in a Caterham.
Quite an expensive lunchtime as booked SpaZZ also...

Watch the last corner coming on to the straight if its wet - the white lines for the starting grid are like ice.

Re: BaT Caterham hire
Great day with BaT yesterday at Combe. Weather couldn't have been better, dry and sunny all day.
The circuit not really ideal for a Caterham as very fast but some nice flowing transitions. The 211 would be awesome there.
The BaT R300's were limited to 6.5k rpm so only 115mph in 6th which was half way down the main straight! Other than that though, car was faultless and great service from the bat team. Pretty much unlimited lapping within reasonable consideration for the car (and driver). Great to have it refuelled as you nip off for a whizz!
Not much fast to play with unfortunately, an Atom which was fast up the straights...easy scalps tho. One of the other BaT rental drivers was pretty handy so we had a play at one point. The SV didn't disappoint, much more comfortable for me.
