Competition Adjustment for Caterham 7, Pages 477-478 of the GCR
#35631 from Omer "Buddy" Norton · Not recommended · Minutes (2024-04 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter, but adjustments for this specification are not recommended at this time. It is known that the
Caterham is down in trap speed relative to most of its competitors, but it's also one of the class leaders in most of the other
performance metrics, including acceleration rate up to a certain point before aero dependency becomes a large factor. If
enough power is added to overcome that top-speed deficiency on faster tracks, then the car will become an outlier in
acceleration rate between and out of corners, and dominate on slower speed tracks. The goal is to try and balance the average
all of the performance attributes for every car, across an average of every track, and it is believed that the Caterham currently
falls within that goal.
