Teams will be judged not just on speed, but also on creativity, track performance and by a crowd clap-o-meter, with the top three finalists winning spectacular prizes including; an elite license to the Caterham Academy with all the frills, a four day trip to Lapland incorporating an artic circle rally and a private racecourse for the day with four super cars, including a Rolling Thunder 38 ton truck and a Lightning Legends
