TG should test the Radical SR8!!!

kekekeke · August 1st, 2006, 5:02 AM

For those who aren't familiar with it, it has the lap record at the ring for a production car, well they claim it to be a production car. for those doubting the road legality just check the plate in the pics. As for who would buy this, I've seen F1 style cars being driven around in UK. images/smilies/eek.gif

Now this was quite a while ago. As soon as I heard the news, I emailed bbc tg via their website saying that they HAVE to test this car or at least mention it in their news. Since
1) obviously cos it's british.
2) its damn fast and road legal.

I am quite dissapointed that they haven't done anything with it.

It would definitely be close to the DBR9's time. And it would be great to have a british car on the top of the powerlap board beating all those cheating italians and smug swedes, which I doubt would be broken for a long long time.

Come on TG!!

Top Gear tested the Radical in the first season where it was at/near the top of the board. It was removed without comment and never seen on the show again.

That was the SR3. This is the new one, which means it's better and faster!

wooflepoof · August 1st, 2006, 5:33 AM

well what more could they say besides, 'its better and faster'

The point being, they have a chance to put a british car on top of the power lap board for what could be a considerable amount of time. I am surprised TG hasn't done it yet, considering how nationalistic/patriotic/jingoistic JC is.

Well, everyone knows track cars generally do better than road cars, theyre designed specifically for the track, If it made it on the top, it'd be nothing special, expected even.

Didn't they remove the SR3 from the board because it couldn't pass a speedbump?

Yeah, I think you're right.

I think a review of the Radical would be boring, I mean its just another track car which you would never think of using on the road.

On the show, they said it could and it was street legal.
