Customer Service
Driving Experience Days: This driving experience lets you drive a vintage
sports car for 3 glorious laps, getting a real feel for how motor
racing used to be, back in the day! The Caterham 7 came to be after
the Lotus ended production of the Lotus Seven in 1972, and Caterham
picked up where they left off.
This experience is a wonderful blast from the past, particularly
for those who's heads are not turned quite so much by the flashy,
ostentatious Supercars of today. The Caterham 7 is of a different
class, the sort of sports car that will inspire you to pop on some
driving gloves and a dashing scarf before you head off for the
driving day! Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre,
your Caterham 7 experience will begin with a welcome brief -
covering registration, track regulations and the basic techniques
behind driving the incredible Caterham. You'll then be let loose
behind the wheel for 3 hair raising laps, pushing hard into corners
and opening up on the straights; allowing you to get some
authentic, hands-on experience in one of the UK's kit-car track
racing darlings! With an expert instructor sat alongside you in the
passenger seat, you'll have a whole session to enjoy the Caterham
before a score-card debrief follows receiving a certificate.
