After Tim’s initial track day driving the Radical, he had this to say: “Driving a Radical is a tremendous thrill, the car is incredibly fast, and corners beautifully. The car is well balanced and forgiving, thus, easily giving you the confidence to over take more experienced drivers. My goal this year is to drive my SR3 at speed at a number of different tracks events, and to learn the car’s capabilities. Now that I have joined the Radical West Team, 2004 looks like its going to be a lot of fun.”

If the need for speed and cutting loose at the track is a sincere passion, then I can’t see not owning a Radical. It is absolutely the perfect track car!”
