The 1500CC Radical SR3 RS is the latest iteration of the successful SR3 chassis with a new front end yielding even greater levels of downforce and grip. Also incorporated is a paddleshift gearbox and an all new AIM datalogger with incorporated SmartyCam video recorder. So look forward to some exciting clips on Youtube next year. Again the car is sponsored by Electronics sourcing magazine, and will be displayed at ES Live in May 2012 The photo shows the cars recent outing at Brands Hatch with some of the Electronics Sourcing staff enjoying a thrilling ride around the iconic Indy Circuit

With summer finally making itself felt, the Radical Circus descended into the Kent countryside for the 3rd round of the Clubmans Cup. The GP Circuit is the full circuit of Brands Hatch and is renowned for providing some exciting and high speed racing. We were still experiencing handling problems with the car, and despite a good start threw it all away with a dramatic spin through Surtees. Although a bit of a setback to say the least, we picked ourselves up and battled to recover some of our placings. The safetycar was deployed, which gave us the opportunity we needed to rejoin the body of the race, and eventually managed to pick off the back markers to finish the race with some honour restored
