This excess is paid in advance in the form of a credit card authorisation, which will then be destroyed at the end of an incident free day. Please see point 24 above.
41. Instruction: A session of instruction per driver is included in the price. You must add the instruction at the time of booking to ensure availability. We also reserve the right to enforce further chargeable tuition should the standard of driving or level of experience necessitate so.
42. Breakdowns: In the event of any incident that effectively makes THE CAR unusable, NO refund will be given.

Where fault is disputed in this instance, the opinion of an agreed independent assessor will be taken as final as to where the fault lies.
43. Engine Damage: All cars are fitted with a tell-tale instrument to measure peak engine revs. If the engine revs exceed 7000rpm a charge is incurred of £100 per 100rpm up to a maximum of the excess stated above. Please note that under normal driving it is not possible to over-rev the car (e.g. you cannot “drive through” the rev limiter). However, it is possible to change into the wrong gear and hence over-rev the engine through using momentum of the car.
44. Gravel Trap Damage: Please refer to point 30 above.
45. Age Restrictions: All drivers must be 17 or over with a full road licence. Please refer to point 24 above for excess conditions. Unfortunately, we do not allow junior drivers (regardless of race licences held) in our rental cars.
46. Physical Restrictions: There are no physical restrictions for driving our Caterham’s or Ginetta’s. However, drivers over 6’2″ tall or over 16 stone may struggle to drive a standard car as cockpit space is limited. Conversely, drivers under 5’8″ are unlikely to be able to drive the larger Caterham ‘SV’ models as the pedalbox is significantly longer.
