Silverstone Caterham trackday 25th Feb

[CaterhamBalders]

Hi, making my first strides into Caterham racing with the Caterham track day at Silverstone. Thought it might be useful to experience being on track with a load of other (supposedly fast) Caterhams.

Is anyone else on here going?

Whilst i won't be on track for this event i have raced with the Graduates in 2017 and there are some fast people out there for sure. This is the Pre-Season track day for the racing club, and will be people from various classes taking part.

You'll find the sessions will be divided between racing club members, and then some slower sessions for those such as wifes/siblings/friends etc.

If you let me know what you'll be driving I'll come and say hi and give you any more information you might have. If i don't see you, have a good day!

Alternatively heres a link to my YouTube channel... if you spot me... say hi :-)

Organised by Torque Motorsport who are a good bunch, Did a day with them at Snetterton last year and got all the track time I needed and more

P.S. I'm sure other 7-alikes would be welcome, worth a call anyway

Thanks for all the info guys. Yeah I'll be there in a white Caterham, will look out for you Mark.

I'm booked in for a session with Ben Clucas too, had a couple of comments on a different post saying he's a good instructor.

Looks like a good amount of track time for the money, given that it's a weekend.
