I don't want to appear too defensive, but the 620R was a fair bit faster, but I wasn't going to be trying to out-break him on a track day so just kept pace behind. But then again, I would say that......
@@stephenclarke9268 Sadly only one for sale in Finland went right under my nose. Was calling about that particular car and I just missed it. There is handful here so they come up for sale very rarely... Importing one is a nightmare so I'm trying to stay hopeful about someone wanting to sell one...
CSR 1. 620R 0. Caterham’s latest trails Caterham’s greatest. At the end of the day, the CSR suspension is better suited to fluid track driving than any of the bitey little R500/620R cars, even if they might have a slight power advantage. Slip angles in corners are more natural and smooth with the suspension set up, and the 260 bhp/200+ Nm torque Cosworth engine means you can track drive without the need to rush up and down the gearbox. I think the CSR 260 is the most collectable, investable Caterham ever built - even more than the legendary Vauxhall Touring Car engined JPE. Not sure the R500 and 620R will hold the same cache.

CSR has a passenger too! Awesome comparison, and CSR kinda comes out on top.

Surprised by the pace of that CSR....620 not that much quicker....
Yep, not a huge amount, probably a couple of seconds a lap on a clear run.
@@stephenclarke9268 a couple of seconds is huge.
