Radical on Nurburgring

On street tires

below 7 minutes.

I think the fumble at Bergwerk probably cost him 1 to 1.5 seconds by the end of the lap

Lovely that V8 sounds fantastic, you could see the street tires reflected in the relatively long braking distances, can you rent one of those at the track?

There's a 2-day Radical driving school at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Nevada, but it's not cheap. I think you can rent one, just call Radical Racing West at the phone number in the attached link.

Anyone know what kind of speeds he was hitting on the main straight? That was some ballsy driving.

WOW - that was awesome

I can't imagine what it would be like to do that on street rubber at those speeds - i saw him working that steering wheel

I'm moving to Vegas next month - i'll have to look that place up
