Do You Have The cdX Factor

[martin b]

Hitch up your trousers, it’s your turn to find out if you have the CDX Factor. This year we are running a new competition using Caterhams CDX cars over their established Slalom course. Be the judge, jury and competitor amongst fellow club members.

I have negotiated special prices for members of £150 per entrant, a saving of £45.

Caterham Cars have agreed to fund a final shootout between the 12 best times set by competitors throughout the year

Confirmed Venues and Dates

Brands Hatch Wednesday 15th April

Elvington Friday 5th June

Silverstone Saturday 1st August

More Dates and Venues to follow

The top 3 in each event will all receive special prizes and there is a treat in store for the overall winner.............

Slalom events are always popular, each day runs with 15-24 entrants. The cars are set up to allow you to go wild in a seven around a tight coned circuit. Precision driving skills are required to slip, slide and spin the car through the course in the fastest possible time, the donut cone will be sure to save or embarass you ! Keep an eye on your rivals as cones moved will add vital seconds.

The emphasis throughout is on fun and a great chance to drive their Caterhams in a way that would have you arrested on the public roads !!

 

I have also negotiated a special rate of £175 per member for the Caterham Drift Days again using Caterhams CDX cars.

Confirmed Venues And Dates

Silverstone Saturday 30th May

Brands Thursday 18th June

Spend the day looking out of the side of the car as you gracefully slide the car around progressively more demanding courses.

An orientation and demonstration from our instructors will familiarise you with the cars and you will be taught to steer the car with the throttle. Initially you may find yourself spinning the car as you deliberately provoke power oversteer. You will then learn to kick the tail out and hold the slide by balancing smooth throttle and steering inputs. There are few feelings more satisfying than controlling a drift and the grin factor is simply off the scale.

For both events please contact Emma at Caterham South to book.
