Caterhams, Zolder

British race car manufacturers Caterham and Lola have joined forces to create the brand new Caterham Lola SP/300.R and are planning a one-make series in 2012 for the thoroughbread racer.


The car is Caterham’s first monocoque race car and will be powered by a two litre, 300bhp Ford engine. It will be capable of reaching speeds of 180mph and will be available to customers at £60,000.

The calendar for next season's Caterham Superlight R300 championship has been revealed.

The series will open at Oulton Park over the first weekend in April before taking in a further six rounds over the course of the season. The closing event runs at Silverstone's International South circuit on October 22/23.

 
Trevor Fowell won his third Caterham R300 title in succession with a brave drive at the Donington Park circuit.

James MacLachan clinched the Caterham Supersport championship with pole position and two wins at Oulton Park in the penultimate round at the weekend.

R300
Fleury’s fastest, but Fowell’s the master…
 Paul Fleury upset the apple cart on Saturday morning when he put his car on pole ahead of the usual suspects, by just 0.002s.  In fact, just a single second covered the top 21 cars on the grid.
