[imprezaworks]

Link not workie

 

[497adam]

Will get him to send me some proper footage

 

[497adam]

Amazing seeing how quickly it, gains on most other things

 

[imprezaworks]

What we saying, clio quick?

 

[Mr R.]

What we saying, clio quick?

No.

Impreza quick. 😂

 

[imprezaworks]

Roll that tape then.

 

[497adam]

It's an 2003 sr3 but they have upgraded to the later front and rear high down force ends.

 

[imprezaworks]

Awesome

 

[497adam]

It's very impressive even as a passenger. Costs a fair bit to run though. They are pretty meticulous with the maintenance/preventative maintenance. But nothing is cheap from radical

 

[imprezaworks]

I can imagine.

 

[497adam]

My mate runs it with his brother. Luckily one is a mechanic(there dad owns a garage) and the other is an engineer so they do everything themselves but even so. They did a couple of rounds of the radical series last year , but the cost were massive. I think next year they might try and compete in one of the 750 series.

 

[imprezaworks]

Look forward to the video

 

[497adam]

I have a clip but struggling how to upload it, any ideas

 

[497adam]

I think it is too large , any ideas how to compress and put it into a format that will up load

 

[imprezaworks]

Is it uploaded it to youtube?

 

[497adam]

No he has sent me a file

 

[497adam]

It's go pro footage he has cut to fit in an email

 

[497adam]

He won a sprint at cadwell today

 

[Mr Burns]

Upload it to YouTube. Job done.

 

[497adam]

 

[JamesBryan]

Video is set to private

 

[497adam]

try now

 

[imprezaworks]

Works. Throw a couple more corners in and the clio would leave it for dead.

That is mental quick, and the noise

 

[JamesBryan]

Having driven Donington for the first time recently. I can say that that is blisteringly quick!

 

[imprezaworks]

What car was in front, that was slow too

 

[JamesBryan]

From what it looked like as it passed at the start, i think it was a Ginetta.

 

[497adam]

Yeah Ginetta GT3,

 

[497adam]

ITs quite scary in the passenger seat, just can't believe its going to get round corners at the speed you doing

 

[497adam]

He did very well at Cadwell yesterday. Only 1.5 secs off course record

 

[M.C..]

They are silly fast but they can be a PITA when there are a few on a trackday, they just dive down the inside of you as you are about to turn into a corner, due to the downforce and slicks they have so much more cornering speed.
I would love to go in one to see what they are like though.
My experience of Radcals at Donington

 

[Mr Burns]

Definitely looks very fast, but looks more thrilling than fun... If that makes sense. Lap times over good times etc.

I kinda agree , he has a 306 s16( fair bit done to it) track car and in a lot of ways that's more fun I think especially embarrassing a lot of bigger cars.

That sprint was 3/4 track. The record was set using full circuit. Mate of mine won his class there yesterday in a evo 6

Hate it when you get race cars using track days as test days, some of them don't give a fcuk.

 

[Tony Hunter]

At least he nailed it through Craners, good lad.

It's not the cars, I;m afraid it's the drivers.

I do the odd trackday as a tester, but never bully people out the way, it gives us a bad name.

As Tony said its the drivers that are the main problem, on that day there were a few (not many) drivers that were driving sensible.
I don't object to racers using trackdays as long as they respect that others have paid to be there too.

As he did through copice. #bigballs
