Brace of New Drivers for ScuderiaTT

ScuderiaTT is pleased to announce that it will be running 5 cars in the 2009 Caterham RSA championship - and welcomes two new drivers to its lineup.

Veteran Caterham racer and barrister Rob Thomas, driving Car 31, has raced Caterhams for several years and brings with him a wealth of experience about competing at this level of motorsport.

Kibworth based Simon Bonham has raced Caterhams for the previous two seasons.  He missed several rounds of the RSB championship last year after sustaining a back injury in a nasty crash during qualifying at Cadwell Park, but is now back to full fitness and raring to go in the 2009 RSA season.  He will be driving Car 44 this year.

Both are welcome additions to the ScuderiaTT lineup and the team looks forward to working with both of them over the season.

ScuderiaTT Drivers - 2009 Season:

Paul Lund - Car 3

Rob Thomas - Car 31

Simon Bonham - Car 44

Phil Haworth - Car 54

Martin Harris - Car 99

In his third year in the iconic Caterham 7 racecar, CHP Consulting supports consultant Phil Haworth in his challenge for the 2009 Drivers-Republic.com Caterham Roadsport Championship title.

Caterham Championship

Driving for the works supported ScuderiaTT raceteam, Phil will contest the Caterham Roadsport Championship over 14 rounds; with two 30-minute sprint races at each event. 2009 sees the first ever Caterham night-race, at Snetterton, and will bring a whole new set of challenges to this extremely competitive championship.

Boasting a strong grid of over 40 identical cars running Avon CR500 control tyres, the racing is always intense and very close; with the difference between winning and losing often only a couple of thousandths of a second.

The Car

The legendary Caterham 7 has been through many incarnations since its inception in 1957 by Colin Chapman. The model raced by Phil Haworth is the Roadsport A-spec race car, powered by a 120bhp 1.6 litre K-series engine.

Weighing in at around 500kg and fitted with front and rear anti-roll bars, Bilstein dampers and wide track front suspension, the car handles brilliantly, sitting on semi-slick race tyres.

Despite championship regulations forbidding the use of any aerodynamic devices on the car to generate downforce, by combining a beautifully balanced chassis, razor sharp response and rear wheel drive, point to point, it is simply still one of the fastest cars around.
