Having been in a (relatively minor) track day crash in one, I'd definitely want a full cage with side bars
You're all wusses

Stick to your Civics with their 5 star NCAP protection

Having said that, driving a 7 with the wet weather gear up is a hateful experience also. Just wear a helmet and waterproofs![]()

I remember a race weekend I was racing at. We all said the same thing about arm tethers and why bother as we all had full FIA cages etc.
Then this happened to a guy in his first ever race, one of our team cars in front of him too.
Next race most of the grid had their arms tethered to their legs!
Broke his arm in 7 places I think.That MX5 video![]()
Not sure, there for the grace of God and all that.Amazed it wasn't worse!! He looked unconscious. Did he return to racing?
I reckon it would have cured my thirst for racing![]()
Hi guys
Currently considering whether to go for the Caterham Academy or just get one to hoon around in for a year or two first - that depends on proper life stuff so not the crux of my question.
I've done a few track days in hired caterhams and they've always had a proper roll cage. If I get an ex-Academy car it'll have a roll cage, but most of 2nd hand ones just seem to have the roll bar at the back. If I get one to hoon around in first it'll definitely spend some of its time running around tracks - should I prioritise a full cage when looking at some? If not, any idea how easy they are to fit afterwards?
Also, if anyone has done the Caterham academy, would love to hear your experiences. All the blogs I can find are from people who have had Caterhams for years and have been challenging at the front. If I do it I'll be the guy at the back trying not to be last!
