Caterham Academy - DPR motorsport services

Contact DPR motorsport to find out how we can help novice racers who have signed up for the Caterham Academy.  We offer a fixed price Academy initial set-up together with a race-readiness service check.  We can also arrange a fitting for the Real Essential resin-bead seat that offers additional safety and comfort.  For taller drivers this may be an essential requirement to ensure sufficient clearance between helmet and roll-cage.

Fixed price initial car set-up and race-readiness service checks

For novice drivers the most important aspect is to gain seat time in the car.  However, a badly set-up car will limit race performance and for on-track use the build engineering needs to be of the highest standard to ensure race-reliability. 

Our flat floor Academy initial set-up costs £225* to include any platform ring machining to obtain required ride height.  Any parts  including any fuel added for the set-up will be charged if required.

Our set-up measures and adjusts (where required) all of the attributes specified below:

  • Ride height
  • Front camber
  • Front toe
  • Rear camber
  • Rear toe
 

Where a car has already been set-up the work will comprise a set-up check followed by any required adjustments.  In this case the charge will be based on time taken and any parts fitted.  After completion of the set-up we provide you with a personalised set-up sheet to confirm the specific set-up including driver weight together with advice as to the optimum fuel level for race use.

Note: Critical settings can change with on-track use.  We recommend that front ride height is checked prior to race use.  Use of the circuit scales is advised to check car weight.
