Too Fast To Race

Too Fast To Race Too Fast To Race is new. There is no hiding that fact.

But the behind the scenes the owner Simon Rogers has over 45 years of racing and motorsport experience and over 20 years directly working on performance suspension.

In car from Pembrey with updated gear shift. - Still had binding front brakes. Caterham

08/09/2026

Well another successful development day even if it was highly entertaining from the drivers seat.

First off I did not better my Hayabusa PB from 2022. This run is a good second and a bit off my best on the day. Best on Sunday was a 119.76 and I have done s 117.61 in the Busa. I will post a back to back video tomorrow of those 2 runs for comparison.

Thanks to Chris Price who was attending the Sprint on Sunday who took a look at the gear control settings. Chris works for MBE. He moved from a more Busa setup to a GSXR setting.

This run is after the changes and you can see the changes are now much more positive and sweeter.

Why was the time slower? Well that my be down to some trick brake setup I had tried on this car. Currently after big heat generating stops like the first corner they are binding up - quite significantly. So much so that after a run we could not move/push the car for 10 min till cool! OOOPS!
This was causing the front to drag heavily every time I lifted or feathered = massive to me in the drivers seat overseer in 4th and 5th!

Its also spinning the tyres on the rims! Thats new!

Also you will see tomorrow 2022 lines into the Clubman's section I may have cut the corner saving significant time!

Good points its fast. 2mph up on the Radicals through the speed traps. It catches the Busa on 2022 video massively on the straights. Brakes already fixed to standard AP vented discs.

On to Oulton for a trackway next week.

Free guide — Damper Adjustment Explained.

What bump and rebound actually do. How many adjusters you really need. How to set high-speed compression properly before you touch anything else. And a straight symptom-by-symptom guide for when the car is doing something you don't like.

It's brand-agnostic — nothing in it depends on whose dampers are on your car — and there's nothing to buy in it.

A couple of things in there that go against what people usually get told:

A damper is a timing device. It doesn't hold the car up, it controls how quickly load arrives at the tyre.

Just because a car rolls doesn't mean it isn't fast. If it's rolling, it's creating grip.

There's also a section on corner exit understeer where I do the opposite of what a chassis engineer would tell you. I explain why, and I'm happy to argue about it.

Two of the summary charts below. Full guide and the PDF download on the site — link in the comments.

🏁 NEW ON THE TFTR WEBSITE 🏁
The Too Fast To Race site has had a major update — easier to navigate, faster, and packed with more detail on our specialist Caterham work.
Headline addition: a dedicated section on OS Giken L*Ds for the Caterham 7 🔧
If you've ever felt your Seven scrabbling for traction out of slow corners, snapping loose on power, or struggling to put the drive down in the wet — the diff is very often the answer. We cover both the OS Giken Standard L*D and the OS Giken Dual Core L*D, what each one does, and which suits your car and how you drive it.
Smoother power delivery. More predictable mid-corner balance. Real traction when you actually want it. 💪

Kawasaki H2 Dry Sump. I have been working towards this for nearly a year now but with other commitments and things to do it’s taken some time. With kind advice from Steve Broughton and then applying the new knowledge to our own design and application we have reached a final design and product.

This could not have been possible without the expertise provided by OLLE Precision Engineering. Thanks for the thought, experience and skills. Also part of this project were Nova Racing who have allowed us to utilise their tried and tested scavenge pump from the Hayabusa dry sump kit.

We are also pairing this dry sump with Extreme Creations Uprated oil pump gear given 25 - 30% more pressure.

Finally thanks to SBD Motorsport Ltd for allowing us to use the Hayabusa kit filters.

It was important to me to not reinvent the wheel so to speak and with layouts being similar using the same design characteristics as the Hayabusa drysump kits available critical. Only the input or oil scavenge puppy shaft has been adjusted. The two piece design allowed for much simpler machine tool availability and production. There is no need to take these apart for servicing in the future but if necessary they can be.

You will also see the OE oil cooler has been blanked off and a simple out and in return plate housing has been manufactured. We are using an oil cooler at the front of the Caterham 7. If you wish to continue to use thebOE cooler you can do so.

This kit will be installed for testing this week. I see no reason to expect any issues given the simple design.

The superior finish you can see on the parts is provided by Powdercoating - vapDaytuner Tuning Centre, dynojet, rolling road dynometer testing, servicingwhich produces 290bhp from its small 1000cc supercharged engine. All mapped by Daytuner Tuning Centre, dynojet, rolling road dynometer testing, servicing.

Looking forward to testing.

This kit will be available for sale once tested.
