Drive a Caterham 7 around the race track in Elvington! This Yorkshire venue will see you experiencing the jaw-dropping acceleration and handling of the Caterham that's still hand built in the UK.

The Caterham 7 is a sure-fire favourite with fans of fast cars. It is based on the original Lotus Seven, which was created by the legendary designer Colin Chapman, who always aimed for the car to be raced. The Caterham version did indeed race, but was then swiftly banned for being 'too fast to race'! The ban was soon overturned and the car has won many a race since. Now you can have a go at putting your foot down in the Caterham!

After a couple of instructor-driven demo laps, you will drive the Caterham for five laps around the circuit. Of course, it's an open-top car, so you'll be kitted out with a helmet and intercom so you and your instructor can converse giving you tips to get the absolute best out of the car. Your experience comes to an end with a thrilling high speed passenger ride on the extended circuit.
