Caterham and BTCC Series Organiser TOCA have today (26 October) announced that the Caterham Seven Championship UK (CSCUK) will join the British Touring Car Championship at Silverstone in 2023.
Taking place on 23/24 September, it’s the first time in Caterham’s history that it will join the iconic racing series, where it will replace the F4 British Championship for the Silverstone race weekend on the National Circuit.
In the Championship finale of the CSCUK calendar, the highly skilled grid of Caterham racing drivers will have the opportunity to compete in front of huge spectator numbers.
The race day will also be broadcast live on ITV4, providing a moment in the spotlight for the CSCUK grid.
Simon Lambert, Caterham Chief Motorsport & Technical Officer, said: “To be able to associate ourselves with one of the most prestigious racing series on the planet is an historic landmark moment for our brand.
“Our racers will not only get the opportunity to race at Silverstone, they’ll also be competing on mainstream television and in front of the fantastic crowds that attend BTCC events.”
Alan Gow, BTCC Chief Executive, said: “It’s a great opportunity for the Caterham Seven Championship UK to join the TOCA package for our event at Silverstone next season.
“I’m sure they will enjoy the great atmosphere and exposure that the BTCC brings with it, whilst our loyal fanbase will enjoy the fantastic entertainment that Caterham racing so often delivers!”
