2023 Caterham Motorsport – Meet Your Champions!

Our 2024 Caterham Motorsport Season is right around the corner, but before that begins – we need to take a quick look back at another incredible year of Caterham racing.

In 2023 we welcomed two new sponsors to the motorsport mix. Car, house and specialist vehicles insurers, Adrian Flux, joined as our official Academy Sponsor. The Academy championship, as it does every year, created over fifty new racing drivers with two new Caterham champions entering the fold (you’ll need to read on to find out our winner).

Also joining the sponsorship elite was Vertex Watches, a British watchmaker with a history spanning over 100 years. As the headline sponsor of our Roadsport championship, Vertex laid down a unique timing challenge where competitors had the opportunity to win a rare, one-of-fifty Vertex MP45 C50 watch.

As always we we’re joined by our regular sponsors, Bilstein, DemonTweeks, Motul and, for their final year of operation, Avon Tyres. Also joining in the mix are PRG Trailers, our long-standing provider of race trailers.
