Champions Constable and Fennymore Plan Caterham Euro Campaigns

16 February 2007

The 2005 Caterham Eurocup champion, Jamie Constable, is to step up to a Caterham CSR 260 for an assault on this year's championship. He will be joined on the grid by reigning Superlight Challenge Champion Graham Fennymore and a host of other big names from recent seasons of Caterham competition.

This year the Eurocup and the Masters series have been combined under the evo Caterham Eurocup title, with a schedule of 12 half-hour sprint races and six one-hour endurance events spread over six meetings. The Grand Prix circuits of Spa, Hockenheim and the Nürburgring are on the calendar.

Among the big guns planning to run are the 2005 and 2006 Caterham Masters runners-up, Clive Richards and Richard Hay, in their CSR. They will be joined in Richards' Colards Motorsport team by London-domiciled Italian CSR pilot Michele Tommasi and by Superlight newcomers Gary Halcrow, Clive Coote and Chris Bialan.

Constable and his new CSR will be fielded by multiple Eurocup team champion Team Parker Racing, with 2005 Eurocup runner-up Mike Cantillon alongside him. Meanwhile Fennymore, who swept the board in 2006 in the UK with his Superlight, is planning to stage a repeat performance this season in Europe.

Taylor's Foundry Motor Sport will start the season with two CSRs, for Malcolm Johnstone and Phillipe Evrard, and expects to expand its entry to feature several Superlights later in the year. Other CSRs are to be handled by multiple German Caterham Champion Kurt Hoffmann and his co-driver Wolfgang Becker, and by TFL Racing's Sarah Reader and Oliver Bull, who took third in the championship last year.

Backers for Caterham Motorsport's UK and European race series include Bilstein, Brian James Trailers, Cheesman Products, Circuit Driver, Cooper-Avon Tyres, Demon Tweeks, evo, HSBC Insurance Brokers, Mitchell Cotts, Motorsport News, Stack and Steel Fabrications.
