As we gear up for the 2024 Caterham Motorsport Season, let’s take a moment to reflect on the exciting events of 2023 and celebrate our champions.
Last year, we were thrilled to welcome two new sponsors to our motorsport community. Adrian Flux, a renowned insurer specializing in cars, homes, and specialist vehicles, joined us as the official sponsor of our Academy Championship. This partnership saw over fifty new racing drivers enter the fold, with two emerging as Caterham champions (stay tuned for the reveal).
Additionally, Vertex Watches, a distinguished British watchmaker with over a century of history, became the headline sponsor of our Roadsport championship. They introduced a unique timing challenge, offering competitors the chance to win a rare Vertex MP45 C50 watch, limited to just fifty pieces.
Our longstanding sponsors, including Bilstein, DemonTweeks, Motul, and Avon Tyres (in their final year of operation), continued their invaluable support. PRG Trailers, our trusted provider of race trailers, also played a vital role in our success.
