The Caterham Academy is a race series for novice, beginner drivers
Only those with no previous race license (including karting) would qualify to participate
When signing up to the Academy, you will receive your own Academy car, which will be yours to keep even after the season.
There are a just few options that you can choose for your Academy car, but for the most part, all Academy cars are the same.
Those who partake will receive unlimited guidance from Caterham themselves: Whether this be with support in receiving an ARDS race license, guidance in which equipment and gear to invest in, and, in the case of building your own kit car, assistance with IVA checks and getting the car ready to race.
How to Order a Caterham Academy Car
As a Caterham representative, you can sign up to the Academy through us here at HWM. This can be done over the phone, email, or by visiting us here in Surrey
A member of the HWM Caterham team will run through the options available for your car and begin building the specification with you.
Just some of these options include: a VBox Camera System or Race Logic tracker (a front facing camera is mandatory for Academy participation)
An initial deposit of £3,000 will be taken at this time, this will secure your place on the grid
At this stage you will be given a 'Build Slot' for your car. The cut off for specification changes is 13 weeks before the 'Build Slot' date. At this point, another £6,000 will be due
The car is now ready to be built by the factory, or sent to you in kit form for you to build. HWM can offer a 'Tool Kit' for those who chose to build the car themselves
Before delivery of the car is taken, the remaining balance would need to be paid
If you would like to learn more about the Caterham Academy, we would be delighted to assist.
