I booked a Car Limits day with Andrew Walsh a while back when I still had my ex academy Caterham. By chance a really nice Caterham came up for sale and it will be with me before the course day.

A few folks have commented that the course can be quite hard on the car. Now tyre wear I don't mind but will the bodywork suffer in terms of stone chips? I wouldn't really the car to suffer in this way and am likely to get some paint protection film but on before hand.

Just wondered if anyone out there has done one of this courses and what their experience was in relation to stone chips?

Thanks for the posts. Based on this and the posts from the Caterham page, I am going to go ahead with my booking next week.

As said, I can always back of and take it easy when need be.

Andy Walsh recommends you to set your tyre pressures extremely high in order to minimise tyre wear. Even in a heavy car you do not use too much tyre, let alone a light Caterham.
Yes thanks for that I will be taking my electronic pump to use when I get there.
