Hi all,

I'm looking for some advise about entering the Caterham Academy for 2023. I've been given the price and spec list but the options are as long as my arm!!

What would you say are the essentials and whats the most economical way of purchasing the vehicle?

I'll be building the car myself so keen to keep budgets in check along the way.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Andrew

Thanks for your feedback, really helpful.

I was wondering why Caterham were suggesting the wrap, good to know it's more about cost than anything else.

From what I've read it sounds like the black nose and wings are the way to go, so thanks for clarifying.

Whats the main benefit of having the Vbox? Do you need the data? Not sure what these can do?

Like the idea of the black pack too.

Thanks for the advice! I like the idea of using a trailer.

I've driven Caterhams before I know what they're like on the road - more fun on a track for me!!

Yep I'm self building.

I've gone for the all black where possible, also went along to the Silverstone meet and greet which was very helpful!!
