Caterham Academy Championship

About the Caterham Academy Championship

Have you ever dreamed of being a racing driver?  Sure, you have; we all have. And that’s why Caterham created the unique and incredibly popular Caterham Academy. It is Europe’s, and possibly even the world’s, most successful racing series for novices that want to live out the dream of becoming a racing driver. To date, nearly 1200 mere mortals have become bonafide racing drivers through the Caterham Academy.

The Academy Championship package is the ultimate introduction to motorsport. Available exclusively to complete novices, it ensures a level playing field guaranteeing all competitors have the same experience.

Included in the Academy package is a road-legal Caterham Seven racing car to keep, a full season of racing, technical support and all the steps a novice will have to take to get ready for their first championship. After purchasing an Academy package, all drivers will take their racing licence (ARDS) tests together in February, followed by a car control day and an exclusive circuit test day before the action begins. One sprint and seven races await them in their first season of competition!

Caterham’s Motorsport ladder is perfectly designed to accommodate further progression. After Academy, drivers can upgrade their cars allowing them to take part exclusively in the Caterham Roadsport Championship. Following this, drivers can use their car (with the respective upgrades) to progress into the 270R and 310R championships.
