Whisky powered SR4

[SportsLibre]

Oz and James Drink to Britain.

make sure you see it on repeat or Iplayer etc.

Nice to see a radical chosen i thought, but was it run on a public road?
Hard to tell, but so what, sounded good to me.

[splitpin]

Yes it was and note the absence of speed cameras!

There is a 'tie-up' between Radical and that whisky brand - if only I could spell it! - they (the whisky brand) were/are sponsors ('main' I think) of Radical's Le Mans car, I'd guess on the basis of some sort of personal interests between Principals.

BTW, I'm pretty sure it didn't run on whisky at Le Mans........!

Yes, it did sound good...........every Radical does............Graham, you have got to get yourself (into) a Radical.............and no more of that stuff about it being too quick for you!

We now own this car having bought it second hand from Radical last November. We are running it in the Radical Clubmans cup and BESCR series this year - on good ol' 95RON though

Good To Hear & All The Best for This Coming Season

Reckon there could be a race to have first sniff of your exhaust pipe just to be sure!

Do 'The Rules; require 95 RON?...........................always run mine on higher octane; usually 98 Ultimate or 99 V Power

Hi Nick

It was last night's episode; first time showing I think; only a quick glimpse unfortunately; caravan's broken rear wheel (how exciting) got way more camera time! Twas still enough to get Graham's juices flowing though.

Did you get that (sorry to hear) 'erbert problem sorted? No no not you BertBert!

Splitpin:
Never got into a Radical (wish I had tbh) but doing this instead:

250 bhp/lbft and 550Kg. I'm fitting a big block of wood under the right hand pedal too.

We know - I'm the one that loves Lolas - particularly those T70s from my more youthful days.

As I know Willbee will be looking at this Forum, I sure he'll keep you posted on ROC's Inaugural Trackday; you should come to that > for sure you'll get some passenger rides and who knows, perhaps even a go in the seat with the twirly thingie in front of it.

Thanks Trevor, Media PC now set up to record the series so should catch it.

Cheers

I've even gone and bought a closed faced helmet for Xmas, so fully committed now...
Strikes me I'm doing the 'Sports Racer' route the bloody hard way, and all because the Radical doesn't have a good reverse!

I think you lot will have a real blast as a Club of Drivers

Only because that's what Radical recommend for the 1300 in untuned form. Does the higher octane make any appreciable difference?

Here it is in current form

Nice, hope you don't suffer too much body rubbing! Best of luck for next year, you'll be up against the mighty BertBert from here.

Nick

Ran my PR6 in standard untuned trim on 95 pump fuel for non Radical races last year, unless its got a tuned & mapped for the 98/99 motor you won't show anymore power, in fact probably less!

Think you will find for the Clubman cup you will have to be running the control fuel anyway which I think is around a 98 octane.

See you at Rockingham!

[dsl2]

Just checked with Powertec the Sunnaco control fuel is 98 octane.

So where does that leave any of us? E.g Is Gaxor going to being laying out loads to produce less? A bit like someone offering someone something for a Fiver and the potential buyer playing hard ball and knocking them................up to £6?

By the way Gaxor, the standard of prep and quality of graphic sponsorship on the SR4 looks absolutely top notch - first class, well done - Nick is already shaking the bottle of T Cut just worrying about it's absolutely pristine level

G: Is going up the hill backwards Plan B in case the wooden block doesn't work out?

Mine's an ex-racer, this time next year Gaxor's car might look just like it, i.e. beyond bothering with a bit of T-Cut. It's like some ladies, looks nice from behind...

Nick

[911hillclimber]

No!
Getting out and back into my nice 911 road car is Plan B...That car doesn't scare me.(220 bhp/ton)

But they now do in fact they have as many reverse gears as forward one's with the fancy diff in the SR4-PR6 and the Quaife set up in the SR3.....
