[edit] CSR 0-100-0
Removed the phrase "However, the new Caterham CSR model surpasses the R500 in power, and although significantly heavier, may take the records for itself." Tests have shown the CSR to be nearly a full second slower than this in the 0-100-0. Weight's a killer. --128.114.6.104 20:10, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Also, no Caterham currently holds the record - the Autocar 0-100-0 record is currently held by an Ultima GTR (9.4 or 9.6 seconds?), with a Veyron coming faster than the Caterham too, with a 9.9. Gingiba 21:18, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Superlight picture
The pic doesn't look like a superlight to me; it's got a spare wheel carrier? Alex 09:42, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, it is a 2004 superlight R. (The R500 or 200 are the British models.) The spare wheel carrier is an option. Trust me on this one; it was mine until it was destroyed in a flood. But I'm building a CSR, so stay tuned for some pictures of that.

- I'm sure everyone will agree on the new R300 Superlight picture I posted yesterday... -Wikigi 13:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fenders? Cycle wings, please...
Riguy, the objects in question are "cycle wings", not fenders; this is a very American term. Please reconsider, or change to cycle wings; see Caterham's own web site [1] where cycle wings are mentioned, but no fenders. Alex 21:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry. In my Caterham Assembly guide, it mentions fenders. I misinterpreted your comment in the history as thinking of front and rear fenders, i.e. bumpers, and not about the use of fenders over cycle wings. I'm fine with either term. Riguy talk/contribs 07:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hyperion
Should Hyperion be listed here? They just look like a commercial company that works on Caterhams.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CATERHAM LOGO.JPG
Image:CATERHAM LOGO.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Banned by the FIA?
Does anyone know the 'official' rationale for the FIA bans? They surely cannot have just said "the cars are too fast" (even if that was the 'real' rationale). I've edited the relevant section to balance it a little more, but a reference or two would probably be worthwhile. Spider1 06:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC) It's probably a safety concern relating to the fact that the 7 is a 50yr old lightweight. Hence, if a much heavier & more modernly designed car crashed into it, the 7 driver would more than likely suffer life-threathening injuries. Just a thought. --Kikimaru 10:38, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
I know the ban has been in place for a long time (about 30 years but I'm trying to find an exact date) so I doubt safety relative to other cars would have been the original reason.Colin Mill (talk) 19:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
