Rockingham

Rockinghamwww.rockingham.co.uk

After almost ten years of planning and 23 months of construction work, Rockingham Motor Speedway came to life at noon on Monday 15th January 2001.

The international motorsport venue is the first purpose built race track in the UK since Brooklands in 1907 and has transformed the industrial wasteland left by the British steel works into an asset that the people of Corby and Northamptonshire are justly proud of.

Rockingham is Europe’s fastest banked oval racing circuit, with the unbeaten lap record for the 1.5 mile oval set at 24.719 seconds by Tony Kanaan in his Ford/Lola Champ Car on 22nd September, 2001 - an average speed of 215.397mph!

Rockingham offers multiple in-field circuit configurations, featuring hairpins, straights and chicanes with ample passing and run-off areas.

What can you say about the Caterham 7 that hasn’t already been said in its 50 year history?

The Seven is the original British lightweight sportscar. Originally created by Colin Chapman and launched as the Lotus 7 in 1957, the car embodies the Chapman design ethos of ‘adding lightness’. The low mass of the car makes it inherently agile, gives startling performance and, most of all, imbues the driving experience with its unparalleled sense of purity, control and reward. It is, quite simply, a motoring icon.

Caterham Cars has been selling the Seven since the late 1950’s. In 1973 Caterham purchased the rights to manufacture the car from Lotus, and has been building and selling it ever since. Over the decades Caterham have continued to refine and enhance the design, whilst always respecting the brilliance of the original formula.

Motorsport is at the heart of the Seven and it is the original 'race car for the road'. The car was designated 'too fast to race' by the authorities in the 1970’s due to its overwhelming superiority over its rivals, and was banned from competition. This inspired Caterham to pioneer one make racing with strict regulations to minimise cost and produce close, exciting racing. Meanwhile, overall victory in the 1992 Nelson Ledges 24-Hours race and class victory at the 2002 Nurburgring 24-Hours underlined the car’s abilities even against modern rivals.
