Caterham racing can be fun...

Fancy racing a Caterham, and getting a foot on the racing ladder? The Caterham Academy is offering grid spaces for the 2006 season, for £199 a month.

Launched in 1995, the Academy was set up as a first step onto the motorsport ladder and still provides an excellent and unique introduction to the sport for the novice racer. Due to unprecedented demand, the Academy is selling all available places well ahead of the race season.
