Caterham Cars Unveil Plans to Run Own Kart Series
By Karting1 ~ January 12th, 2012. Filed under: Kart Racing News.
Caterham Cars have announced they are planning to design and build their own kart to run in a special series in 2013. The plan is to allow drivers to take their first steps in the world of motorsport.
Caterham Motorsport Manager, Simon Lambert, said: “We’ve built a strong reputation for providing terrific value for money in motorsport through great cars and a playing field so even you could put a spirit level on it.
“Now we’d like to use this wealth of knowledge and expertise in karting by establishing a cost-effective series that will combine fun, technology and great competition elements that we think are beginning to be overlooked in kart racing.
“With progression possible through the Caterham ‘ladder’ right through to F1, Caterham karting will appeal to those looking to make a career in motorsport but, more importantly, our aim is to target the mass-market of parents and youngsters who would like to race in a competitive and yet affordable karting series which, until now, might have been an unachievable dream. Caterham is determined to make motorsport accessible to everyone.”
Caterham now join a whole host of car racing teams and manufacturers who are investing heavily in their own karting programs.
