The Caterham 270R Championship is the coming of age series, as Caterham Roadsport drivers look to spread their wings and step-up the level of competition and professionalism as the next rung on the Caterham ladder is home to the competent racing driver.

Unlike the other two feeder categories, there are no restrictions on professional team support or driver involvement, meaning that drivers may have several years of experience which makes it a fiercely competitive championship.

Cars that compete in the Seven 270R Championship have typically made their way up from the Academy Championship from 2014 onwards, with most vehicles having originally been a modified version of 2016-2022 Academy cars.

Developed into fully-fledged race focused machines, 270R cars boast stiffer suspension and the removal of the windscreens and lights – giving them a similar look and feel to their more rapid 310R and Seven Championship UK counterparts.

The 270R championship features seven rounds in England and Wales, an overseas event in the Netherlands as well as an end of season spectacle in Barbados. The action on track consists of 21 races across the season, and like the Academy and Roadsport classes – races are 20 minutes in length, but the points differ compared to the other two, with 25 now for a race win with points descending to one point for every finisher.

Those proficient drivers who want to make that next step have the option of the 310R Championship next up.

Family, friends and motorsport fans will be able to watch all the action from the BARC organised race weekends LIVE on our YouTube channel – www.youtube.com/@britishautomobileracingclub with the Caterham 270R Championship series kicking off its calendar on the 12th April at Snetterton.
