I know they’ve binned Caterham after being bought out by Ginetta, but I see Johnny has left and there’s a Facebook post today telling people not to contact him about the business. It’s still being run by Sarah I understand.

I smell a story. Anyone know what’s going down?

Sarah is/was his wife yes?

Not heard, the Ginetta Boss is pretty shrewd, and they have nailed the young rich “future professional racer” mkt.

Watch this space, am sure it will all come out in the wash, when she was MD was he in the Chief exec position?

Ah, there goes my imaginary 3 person Caterham 7 track day share. I nearly did it once but one of the chaps wasn’t happy with a £2k excess.

He’s also the MD of a successful builders merchants, expect a Caterham track car hire business shortly

Yep, kudos to them. If Lotus could see further than the end of each week and had anyone with an ounce of capability in marketing or strategy they could and should have beaten them to that market.
