Attention Race Fans
Rich Kamp plans to telephone in live updates on the Car and Driver/Caterham USA entry in NASA's 25-hour endurance race this weekend at Thunderhill. I will post his reports here as I receive them.
Rich is working the race as a member of the Caterham pit crew.
The race starts at 11:00 am Saturday, and ends at 12:00 noon on Sunday. We hope to have the first update posted before noon on Saturday.
NASA shows more than 70 cars entered in this race. The Caterham entry is from Jon Nelson - Caterham USA, with drivers from Car and Driver magazine. The car is a Superlight running a new Ford-backed Focus SVT motor.
Rich reports that there is also heavy trackside factory support from Caterham UK in the persons of Chief Technical Director Jez Coates, accompanied by a crew chief and a head mechanic.
So this could be exciting.
As NASA CEO Jerry Kunzman said in a recent press release:
“They will be driving a very high-performance vehicle, and could do very well. It is an open-cockpit car however, so they might face some challenge if the weather turns on them!â€
Stay tuned.
