Gascoyne - Biggest step yet
Technical boss says new chassis is a "much more current car"
Caterham chief technical officer Mike Gascoyne hopes the team's 2012 car will represent their biggest step forward yet.
Although Caterham have yet to score a world championship point as they embark upon their third F1 season, they have pulled clear of fellow newcomers Marussia and HRT in terms of performance.
That improved level of performance will be further enhanced in 2012 when their new chassis, the CT-01, will feature a KERS system for the first time.
The device will be provided by Red Bull Technology, who already supply gearboxes to the team, who changed their name from Team Lotus late last year.
Speaking on Tuesday, Gascoyne said: "I think it will be a much more current car than the last two cars we've been able to design. It's probably a bigger step forward compared to the 2011 car.
"In 2010 our car was obviously very basic because we didn't have much time to do it and we always said the 2011 car would be a big step forward.
"What's exciting for me is that the 2012 car is probably a bigger step forward in terms of refinement of design than we made in 2011 (over 2010)." - http://www1.skysports.com
