Caterham Academy Holland 2009

"The Academy has been a great success", said series coordinator Mart Van Der Kooi, "our drivers are having a very enjoyable year and the cars are performing perfectly".

Caterham’s Motorsport Manager, Simon Lambert, added "We are delighted with the way Academy has taken off in Holland. The Caterham Holland team have done an excellent job in organising and supporting the series, and with Autovisie behind us I’m confident that it will go from strength to strength".

The Autovisie Caterham Academy 2009 is a series exclusively for drivers who have never raced. The allinclusive package covers the car and the season of racing which will follow a similar format to the current year, with a mix of Time-Attack sprint events and circuit races. The Dutch Academy is based on the on the hugely successful British series now in it’s fourteenth sell-out year, having created over 600 new racing drivers along the way.

All the current Dutch Academy drivers are expected to continue into a second year of Caterham racing with mildly modified cars to reduce lap times – ease of upgrade being one of the many benefits of Caterham racing. In Britain, the Academy has given rise to six more championships, not including the top level series which were already in place, such is the demand to keep racing!

With limited places available, the 2009 season is expected to be a sell-out.

Anyone who can remember last year’s Motorsport Awards Dinner (and lets face it, not many of us can!) will tell you that it was a thoroughly good knees up. Not only a chance to catch up with your sparring partners from the past season and to collect trophies, it is a great opportunity to meet competitors from other series and forge friendships away from the circuit.

Also, because the event will again be held at the Copthorne Hotel and Resort near Gatwick, you can book yourself a room and literally crawl to bed. Remember, the hotel bar is open all night if you are staying in the hotel!*

Tickets are just £60 and are available from Sales@Caterham.co.uk . The event is being held on Saturday 8th November 2008. *Caterham Cars does not condone excessive drinking or in anyway think it is big or clever, but let’s face it; you’re not going to listen to us so let’s throw caution to the wind all get a bit squiffy. See you there!
