BRSCC STILL EYES PUTTING ON CATERHAM CONTESTS
British Racing and Sports Car Club bosses are open to starting their own Caterham contests after losing the factory’s suite of championships from their line-up from next season.
Caterham championships, having operated with BRSCC since the
1990s, will race with the British Automobile Racing Club from 2023.
BRSCC chairman Peter Daly told Motorsport News: “We do know that there are alternative Caterham championships out there and it’s not beyond our capabilities to look at how the Caterham market pans out over the next year or two when we might start something ourselves.
“They’ve introduced 1000 Caterhams into the market in the last 20 years so there’s plenty of Caterhams out there and they don’t all necessarily want to race with the factory.
“We’re always keeping stuff in mind.
We introduced the idea of a Caterham relay race back in 2019 where you’d got teams of four cars. And that was one opportunity of developing Caterham but it wasn’t supported fully by the factory in the second year so it didn’t take place. As Caterham is with the factory they have their own restrictions on what they can and can’t do.”
