Simon’s day with Steve involved plenty of talk about cars, tyres and what his car could do.

In his words:

Would urge ANYONE who wants to learn what your car can do, to sign up NOW!”

Thanks Simon.

Teamwork raises £5040 for Mission Motorsport

Tuesday 18th August found the CAT Team hosting their VIP Fundraiser Performance Driver Group Day at UTAC Millbrook for 6 supporters of the charity in their performance cars. All looking to develop their knowledge & technique with CATs unique driver development brand.

Welcoming Stuart, Max, Joe, Jim, Phil & Nick to CAT HQ, it was an eclectic machinery mix that graced the UTAC Millbrook circuits: McLaren 570 GT, 720s Spider, Lotus Elise Series 2, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Jaguar F Type sur Coupe & Aston Martin Vantage Roadster. It was a true fundraising collaboration as every pound paid went straight to Mission Motorsport for their Race, Retrain and Recover activities - UTAC Millbrook generously provided the circuit facilities & CAT gifted both coaching, training, hosting & administrative support from all members in the CAT team.

It was a pleasure & a privilege for each of us to know the day would bring benefits to the Beneficiaries of Mission Motorsport. Thank you from the whole CAT Team.
