Academy questions

[jimmyd123]

Hi,

I have been looking at getting into the Caterham Academy. I have had a good look round the website, searchedH too but still have a couple of questions.

What is the overall cost of the academy season? Is it just the £17000 advertised on the Caterham website? How about new tyres, etc?

Excluding travelling time how much of a day does a meeting take up? I would assume the best part, 8 ours?

Thanks,

James

Thank you for the comprehensive answers, more than I could have hoped for. To be honest £30,000 is too much for me at the moment, and I would be looking at at least £10,000 a year there onwards if I want to carry on.

Any other ideas for a cheaper intro to motorsport?

Ideally I want to learn to drive properly, racing can come afterwards.

Hmmm, appears to be more options than I first thought. Looks like I need to do some more research, maybe get a few track days in to help me decide what I really want/need.

Thanks everyone.

Can anyyone suggest an instructor for track days? I am happy to use my own car, going to need new brakes and tyres soon so may as well get the most from them.
