[Practice Pals] April 27, 2020 - Radical Racing Challenge C

[Skid_Marc_]

This week in Practice Pals, we're going to be trying out the Radical SR8! It is a "...purpose-built track day sports car roadster...". Built in the U.K. it features a 2.7L V8 and a 6-speed sequential shifter. It weighs in at 680 kg (1500 lbs), produces about 380hp, and has a top speed of ~280 kph (175 mph). It won the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in 2015 and held the, then, all-time lap record around the Nordschleife circuit June 29, 2010 with a lap of 6:48:28.

It may be a new car to some, but the track should be familiar to just about everyone! Hoping to get some practice in, and maybe a race on Wednesday!

Awesome, that buys us an extra hour of practice between the Radical and IMSA race!

 

[Kenadian]

Guys I can't be here tonight, both my lower back and tailbone are killing me. I don't know what my problem is but sitting for any length of time is killing me?

Apologies.

Anyone down for another run at this tonight? I had a good time Wednesday.. crashes happen, but the Radical was more fun to race than I expected. I will be starting from the pits again!

 

[Skid_Marc_]

That'd give you all day to get some TT's in if you've got time @Ogami Itto !

 

[Kinger]

*Tentatively raises hand from the back of the room.* I mean it's only Irating right?

 

[Deb]

I should be there
