The Caterham Seven is a racer for the road, honed during years of development
in the toughest automotive environment there is: motorsport. That's why
the Seven is the car of choice for the racing driver, and why Caterham
Motorsport is such a spectacular success...
Racing has
always been at the heart of Seven ownership. Through the '60s and '70s,
Sevens raced in many sports car and mod-sports championships, and their
dominance was such that they were eventually deemed "too fast to race"
and banned from open competition.
As a result,
a one-make, multi-class championship for Caterhams was formed in 1986.
In the years since, Caterham Motorsport has become one of the most successful
forms of club racing the world over. Indeed there are now 11 Caterham
championships in five countries.
Caterham
Motorsport offers racing to suit all budgets. The ideal starting point
is the Caterham Academy, where complete beginners can get an inexpensive
(yet priceless) grounding in the sport. From there they can progress via
the Caterham Roadsport Challenge to the pinnacle of UK-based Caterham
competition, the Superlight Challenge, and also compete internationally
in the Caterham Eurocup.
The Caterham
Motorsport tradition is at its most exciting and visible at the Caterham
Festival, a biennial celebration of the marque which attracts in excess
300 Seven racers from all around the world. |
