Ben's huge array of experience, in a variety of different race cars, gives him a wealth of knowledge to pass on to anyone from the experienced racer to the complete novice. He has been racing since the age of 9, and in that time has driven everything from top line Single Seaters such as Formula 3 and the like, to V8 Supercars, Mercedes DTM, British Touring cars and Porsche 997 GT cars.  Ben Clucas has a huge amount of experience in Caterhams right through from Caterham Academy all the way up to Caterham Superlight R300.  He was heavily involved in a coaching role during the Championships Jamie Orton won in Roadsport A and Superlight R300.  Please see http://www.benclucas.co.uk/videos.php for many on-board laps of Ben driving different types of Caterhams.

 

No one is the perfect racing driver and everyone has something to learn. In every sport in the world the top professionals use coaches to try and improve their techniques, and racing is no different.  A number of different options are available, from simply booking Ben to come and sit alongside you in your race car, to group arrive-and-drive bookings in cars that he will provide.  An intercom and in car camera will also be available to aid with tuition.

"Ben Clucas coached me intensively when I won both the Caterham Roadsport A and R300 Championships. His help was invaluable, not only did he make my driving faster, he also helped me with lots of other aspects of racing, like how to approach qualifying, getting a tow and race craft etc. If you ever need a data lap set, Ben can jump in the car and within a few laps you’ll have a very fast lap to compare yourself against. I would recommend Ben Clucas to anyone.”

"I have used Ben Clucas's coaching, Racelogic’s Vbox system and had my car set-up by DPR and they have all been excellent. Ben has worked with me on several days, making me much faster and pointing things out I would never have noticed myself. His help is invaluable, he has a huge range of knowledge in Caterhams and speeds up the learning process no end. I will certainly be continuing to use him in the future. The Vbox system is great for quickly and simply finding where you need to be focusing on to find that extra time and DPR were extremely helpful when I took my car to be set-up by them. It felt much improved next time out on track.”
