Just buy the thing Ken. It's the best road car in the bloody sim.

Sorry but I disagree.... You are obviously either mad or a person of no discernment who can be ignored.

Personally I think the DP is the best modelled car, the Radical is very good though.
I am getting the Corvette a bit more now but I don't think its a patch on the DP or Radical.
Regards Gary

I agree the DP is the best GT class car. But in terms of racing enjoyment, nothing comes close to a grid of 42 MX5s. Club England are hosting two races @ Sebring tonight if anyone is interested...

Why's that Darren, does it go downhill after you all get off the grid. I'll get my coat Gary

Well certainly real life in car footage of the Radical looks like as close as you'll come to the raw thrill of motorcycling on a four wheeled vehicle!!

I'd wager it has more downforce than most bikes.

I'd wager it has more downforce than most bikes. No doubt, and it is probably one of the few that would come any where near like matching a bikes acceleration, but it does use a bike engine I think? Still the wrong side of 3 secs compared to a bike though!!

Radicals all have bike engines. The SR8 uses a bike-derived V8. At the risk of repeating myself, it's completely bonkers It understeers quite a bit in low speed turns, but sticks well in the high speed stuff.

OK I got it, and yes it's great fun!
In to the 1:21's round BH. Will this be on the pace??
Using Simon's Mid Ohio setup from the Shark site. Seems to work really well, for me anyway.
