ABOUT THE SERIES

All 2023 Caterham Academy positions have long since sold out, and positions for the 2024 Academy grid are already being filling. Caterham’s Academy series is so popular its sold out every year since it’s inception in 1995, with 2017 marking a true milestone for the series- Caterham’s 1000th novice driver. Today Caterham Academy builds on its history of long-standing success and is considered one of Europe’s most successful novice driver series.
