Project CARS 2: Driving the ultimate Caterham

For my next session with Project CARS 2, I get the chance to try out the most extreme Caterham ever made in one of the most technical tracks in the Middle East. I'm talking about the Caterham Seven 620 R but before I set my foot on this extreme track toy, let's get to understand more about the flagship Caterham Seven.

620r

The 620 R, served as the replacement to the R500, is Caterham's fastest ever road car with track-proven specification for unparalleled performance unlike any other. Handbuilt in Dartford, Kent, the 620R features a unique weapons-grade gunmetal chassis, air-flow optimized nose cone, and race-developed cooling package. Powering the 620 R is a supercharged 2.0L Ford Duratec engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, producing 310bhp of power and 219lb-ft of torque. Because of its unique chassis setup, the 620 R delivers a gut-wrenching 568bhp-per-tonne power-to-weight ratio, resulting to its 0-60 time of 2.79 seconds and a top speed of 155mph. Although not as fast as today's high-performance sportscars, the superior power-to-weight ratio of the 620 R can outsmart even the most powerful sportscars on the track.

The moment I set foot on this ultimate Caterham ever built, I'm starting to think that the 620 R is going to be my new favorite Caterham but I shouldn't get to excited about having the privilege to drive one of the world's fastest performance cars on Dubai because while this is purely an open-wheeler, you need to learn when to handle this extreme track toy under certain conditions because between you and me, you need to be precise and calm to get this Caterham straight especially when I'm driving in one of the most technical racetracks in the Middle East as I shall show you my clip of my run at Dubai Autodrome with the Caterham.
