Yes it has what can only be described as retro looks but that's because the design is decades old. But boy is it a good one. Thanks to a Mr Colin Chapman his design won many a motor race. & yes it does only have 150bhp which is about the same as a decent SUV on the roads today. But there's one very very significant difference. The weight. & that's what makes the experience of driving a Caterham 7 what it is
- utterly thrilling. It's all about function over form with the Caterham 7. Forget your modern driving experience gubbins like ABS traction control air conditioning & even central locking this car is stripped down to the bar minimum.

It's about as picturesque as you can get & utterly immersive. & the whole thing is so advanced that the flight sim options for would-be pilots are pretty endless.

- fear not. If you get left & right up & down sorted you can have fun in the air. Of course a smooth landing right on the centre line of the runway would be nice as would some stylish sweeping turns around the Empire State Building but if it does go wrong in the 172 cockpit you can just press the re-set button & you're back on! We are offering 30 60 90 & 120 minute Cessna Skyhawk simulator sessions at this friendly centre in Yorkshire.
