If you've ever felt that buzz at the Dubai Autodrome, nailing a perfect apex, or felt the G-force pull at you down the main straight at Yas Marina Circuit, you know the feeling. It’s an addictive thrill. You’ve honed your lines, you’ve pushed your road car to its limits, and you’ve probably left the track with a massive grin on your face.
But you also know the question that creeps in on the drive home: What's next?
For too long, the jump from being a track day hero to a competitive racer has felt like a massive, intimidating leap. It’s a chasm filled with logistical nightmares, confusing regulations, and costs that can quickly spiral out of control.
In 2025, we at RMA Motors are building the bridge across that chasm. As the official UAE distributor for Caterham Cars, we’re pouring our passion into our most ambitious project yet: the 2026 Caterham UAE Championship. This is our plan to create a new legacy for real, accessible grassroots motorsport, built by people who love driving, for people who love driving.
Why are we doing this? Because our mission at RMA Motors has always been about "EMPOWERING EVERYONE TO ACHIEVE THEIR MOTORING DREAMS!". We've loved helping you find the perfect car for the road. Now, we want to create a real, tangible way for you to take that same passion to the starting grid.
We’re not just launching another event. We're building a community for drivers like you—the dedicated track day regular hungry for the next challenge, the aspiring driver who wants to experience the adrenaline of wheel-to-wheel competition in a place that’s both professional and supportive. We’re bringing Caterham's incredibly successful, factory-backed racing formula to the UAE to create something special, founded on a shared love for pure, unfiltered motorsport and backed by a brand with racing in its DNA since 1957.
So, what does it actually take to get on the grid with us? We’ve torn down the old barriers.
The heart and soul of the series is the weapon of choice: a factory-built, race-prepped Caterham Seven 420. This isn't your road car with a few mods; it's a purebred racing machine, engineered from the ground up on Caterham's legendary "Simplify, then add lightness" philosophy to give you the most raw, honest driving feedback imaginable.
And to make the journey from dream to reality as smooth as possible, we’ve bundled the essentials into an all-inclusive package :
All of this will unfold on the UAE's most iconic motorsport stages—the legendary Yas Marina Circuit and the challenging Dubai Autodrome—giving you a truly world-class racing experience.
You might be asking, "Why Caterham?" Simple. We wanted a championship where the driver is the hero, not the electronics.
Caterham Sevens are the antithesis of modern, computer-managed supercars. There are no complex driver aids to flatter you, no unnecessary frills—just a raw, stripped-back connection between you, the car, and the track. This creates the ultimate level playing field. It becomes a true test of your skill, your racecraft, and your consistency. When the lights go out, it’s your talent that will shine, not the size of your tech budget.
This is our vision, but it’s nothing without the people who will bring it to life: drivers like you. Consider this your personal invitation to be a founder of a new motorsport community here in the UAE. The road to 2026 is starting now, and we want you on it from day one.
If that question of "what's next?" has ever crossed your mind, this is the answer. Register your interest for Caterham motorsport event with RMA Motors today, and let's build this incredible legacy together.
