Racing Cars is like Sex......

.....its much more fun doing it than watching it!
Jezza from Too Fast achieved a long held ambition to race a fully prepared Caterham in the Roadsport Challenge. First I had to get my racing license from the Motor Sports Association, then pass a medical and take my ARDS license, which is a driving and theory test for racing drivers. Then I joined the British Racing Sports Car Club and entered my first race. |

Race days are busy enough without having to worry about the best settings for the car, so I hired my drive from Spurr Engineering.
The car was prepared and delivered to each race by the team and Caterham rules dictate that everyone has the same engine, tires etc. to ensure close and fair racing, so good preparation is essential. When I say close, you will be lucky to finish a race with all of your mudguards.

To give you some idea of the performance available a good Caterham Superlight puts out around 200 bhp and weighs about half the weight of a mini.
