Caterham Academy 2018

[JUPE777]

In my experience much better to keep hold of the car and trailer it yourself in academy and roadsport. And get out on track as much as possible, lots of testing was/is great fun. You're not allowed team support until 270R. Lots will get professional tuition which I'd thoroughly recommend doing as early as possible just to see what is actually possible in the car, sets a bench mark to build up to.

You will love the Academy, I did it in 2004. What a great experience.

If you want to carry on racing afterwards, don't forget the option of Caterham Graduates.

Just to second what Charlie says. I did the Academy in 2012 and Roadsports in 2013, it was an absolute blast, great fun, and I've made friendships that are some of the strongest I've known.

A bunch of us jumped from Roadsports to the Graduates for the 2014 season, and have been there since. So obviously that's the route we'd all recommend!

+2! I did 2005 after using Charles Elliots build blog to help me put mine together, did the Academy Year, did one more year with Caterham Roadsport B and then moved to the Graduates - brilliant times, great racing, lovely people and I would do it agan over any other form of motorsport. Enjoy
