At the helm of 2023 ’ s races , Radical Motorsport has kicked its need for speed up a notch

It ’ s racing season again , and after the intensity of the Canadian Grand Prix , all eyes are on manufacturers to ensure vehicles are dependable and resilient . This is why it seems appropriate that we spotlight Radical Motorsport ( Radical ), a world leading manufacturer of racing cars . To set the tone for what promises to be an exceptional year , Manufacturing Today is showcasing some of the best results from Radical ’ s latest races .

The company has been supporting competitors since its establishment in 1997 ; organizing both sprint and endurance race series , and offering excellent competition at great circuits with high standards of technical and spares support .
Radical ’ s single-marque race series is the ultimate driving experience , and harnesses the thrill of battling wheel-to-wheel with over thirty other ‘ Radicals .’ It has become a draw for club racers and seasoned professionals alike .
The four-cylinder models turn similar lap times to single-seater formulas , while the RXC Spyder produces laps comparable to contemporary LMP machinery . This successful recipe has subsequently been exported overseas , and many of Radical ’ s distributors now run events inspired and guided by the UK championship model . Radical ’ s single-marque acquired championship honors by contesting with similar-specification Radicals in their own class , which allows drivers to enter circuit racing for the first time with the SR1 Cup , before progressing through the ranks with an SR3 RSX .
