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. ![Wink](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/wink.gif)

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.

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. ![Cool](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/cool.gif) 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 ![Roll Eyes](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/rolleyes.gif) 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. ![Smiley](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/smiley.gif)

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 ![Cheesy](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/cheesy.gif) It understeers quite a bit in low speed turns, but sticks well in the high speed stuff.

Definitely going to try and run more of these.

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.
