Where can I use a Radical
Discussion
Most trackday providers will not allow Radicals due to complaints from small minded people who are so up their own arses that they cant see that the problem is the driver not the car. Opentrack Trackdays however will allow you`re car & you will be made to feel welcome as I was.
Javelin will not allow my Radical on normal trackdays as it is a single seater but can do their Sprint series. I do not want to do sprints nor do I want to get a race licence to do test days.

Thanks both. Exactly what I was looking for. Just want a track day rather than have to faff about with race licences.

3 of us up here in Scotland run radicals and have done lots track days in last year with Javelin and never had any issues (even done Spa ) .. just done Croft last wed !!! Same with MSV track days... never been a problem .. even with noise levels !! and our cars are SR3 RS s believe C/D is same .. if ur stuck come up to Knockhill and ull be made welcome but wrap up well can get cold 
yea that happened to m as well when I had my gt3r banned fro Scooby days (although tthat was15 years ago ) and for some reason don't know why Car /Lambo days !! water under the bridge Just to add my 2p - the whole "radicals not welcome" stuff was I beleive a single TDO about 10 years ago who are now out of business. I'm aware of no current TDOs that don't allow them (I am excluding marque specific clubs who have general rules about restricted marques). Being in a radical doesn't prevent you from being a courteous track dayer and it doesn't necessarily mean you will be the quickest on a track day. As gordon said above, he was as poorly behaved in his Porsche, so nothing to do with the car 
I would suggest calling the various trackday organisers & then you will know, as i did, wether my car was allowed.. I repeat also my Radical Clubsport is classed as a single seater , a ridiculous label . My next outing will be at the Bicester Heritage test track a small track but made to feel welcome.

No problems with Javelin, MSV, SIDC, or Knockhill - have been on days from them all this year

Classed by whom as a single seater?Edited by animalhouse on Saturday 20th October 10:04
I spoke to Javelin on the phone & was told my car is classed by them as a single seater & not allowed on their track days but I could however use it in their sprint series ( which i did not want to do ) . Dave Woodall, at Opentrack Trackdays, has no problem with my car at his events.
