The 20-minute contest over the 17-18 August weekend, which is being promoted as a ‘Friends and Family race’, is only open to those who have never competed or held a race licence.
Drivers can use any car that is normally eligible for Caterham Graduates races, which spans models up to and including the Caterham Seven 310R.
The idea originally came from one of the club’s members, and is designed as a way for people to experience racing in a less daunting environment and without having to pay for equipment.
“James McCall, who runs our driving standards team, approached us with the idea of getting people who come with us to race meetings to support us a chance to experience it for themselves,” said CGRC chairman Matthew Willoughby.
“It’s open to anybody who might want to dip their toe in the water. It’s a one-off, with minimal barriers to entry, for people to give it a go and see if they like it – it’s about the experience, having fun and saying you’ve done it.
“If some of the drivers then decide that they want to do more racing with us, that’s great.”
