Caterham Cars To Go Karting
TweetAnother race car manufacturer is set to go karting. Caterham is planning to run a one-make karting series in the UK in 2013, aimed at 11 to 14 year olds.
The Caterham Motorsport-run karting championship will use a Caterham-designed and built kart, though there is no mention of what type of engine will be used.
The company insists that the series will allow progression for those looking for a career in motor racing, from grass-roots karting right through the Caterham Seven and on to the very top GP2 and F1 seats.
"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," Caterham motorsport manager Simon Lambert said.
"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."
