The Caterham Festival takes place on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th June on the Grand Prix circuit. The festival features racing from all the Caterham Motorsport championships (Academy, Roadsport, 270R, 310R and Seven Championship UK) and two other race series: British Endurance and Zeo Prototypes.
As part of Caterham’s agreement with Silverstone, they have secured a discount on the standard ticket prices, exclusive Seven-only parking and access to a hospitality suite for both days. More information, including the event schedule and the promotional code is available here. https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/news/caterham-festival-%E2%80%93-hospitality-suite-and-discounted-tickets
I will use this page to provide any updates and answer any questions about the event. I have had a few questions regarding the Seven-only parking area, which will be open to all Sevens and is not Club-exclusive. Despite its proximity to the paddock, access to this parking area will be available throughout the day, so you are free to arrive and leave at any time.
UPDATE: TICKET ORDERS
As of mid-afternoon Monday, there had been over 100 orders placed using the promotional code. Most of those orders were for multiple tickets, which means that as things stand we will have over 200 members and their families/friends going to the Caterham Festival over the weekend. Still time to book ....online tickets only - no tickets available at the gate.

In response to a number of questions:
SEVEN-ONLY PARKING AREA: no ticket will be required to enter this area - the only requirement to park in this area is to arrive in a Seven ! The display cars will include the new 420 Cup model.
ALREADY BOUGHT A TICKET AT FULL PRICE? You will be able to access the hospitality suite. Please bring your Club membership card, but if you can't find it, I understand you will just need to tell door security that you are with the Club.

CHANGE TO HOSPITALITY SUITE
The scale of bookings using the promotional code means that Silverstone have decided to change the hospitality suite to the larger Woodcote Suite, whcih is on the start / finish line. It is the white building at the top of the below image, just above the National Paddock.

Was a good day today. Some still with me and braved the weather but i think with that many tickets sold many didnt bother. Lets hope for a better turn out tomorrow
A great day on Sunday, dry mild and, surprising for Silverstone, fairly wind free!
Many thanks to Ralph and colleague, Simon and Caterham personnel for their hospitality and interesting and informative 'behind the scenes' tours!
