Radical's new SR3 Turbo, driven by touring car ace, Phil Bennett, shattered the Nordschleife lap record of 7:32, by a massive 13 seconds. The new record was made all the more impressive by the fact that the all-new 1500 turbo-engined car had only covered a small number of development miles at Lotus' Hethel test circuit, and the record was achieved during it's first and only flying lap of the awesome 14-mile German circuit.
Phil Abbott, Radical co-founder and the inspiration behind the SR3 Turbo was jubilant. "Last year we came to the Nordschliefe, and recorded a 7:42 with a standard 1500 SR3. This year we were allowed only one flying lap, and we did an amazing 7:19. With a change in gearing, and time to dial the car in, we can go even faster!"
this is just some info from the Radical site.
