nothing to do with your space being all the way over in Texas or anything ;)

ill put it down to connectivity then ;) tbh it is connected directly to verio network

Hi all, great day must admit, nice to have met you all who, went. Incase you are unsure i was the geeza in the red hat. I would download the video but its more than likely getting slapped for speed so i'll leave it and rob it at a later date. The Radical was easily the quickest out there next to the zeus, which was great to watch.

...
 
The video doesn't portray that well just how quick the Radical is.
You have to remember that most of the cars out on the track are modified and running a much higher bhp than standard.

Spie – There is a lot of the track you’re not using going into & exiting the corners and although I’ve not driven the car and don’t have a feel for the limits etc you do seem to be coasting around a lot of the corners – much room for improvement ;)
 
Just watched it myself, pretty cool and impressive. nice and fast too. grrr at the mangled fly. I wouldnt mind seeing this in the flesh next time you do a track day I may well come along :)

Also i was suprised at how close together cars were at the track day in places.

Remember, this was my first full day out in the Radical. There's more to come ;)

EDIT : Think you are forgetting how technical Donington is. You do not use all of the track on some corners.
 
Just watched it myself, looks like a cracking car! You really seemed to be going for it at the end too.

Oh and just to clear it up, the server Moreland's on is a rackshack server who I believe are connected to Verio, Time Warner, etc, etc, etc - presumably just a bad hop to your server Eyedot. Got there in the end though ;).

You get used to it - It's not like on the road where people apply the brakes on the straight to 'test' you.
I'd imagine the hardest thing in something like a Radical is judging the braking ability of normal cars going into corners. i.e. When will the guy in the Mazda MX5 start braking

Yeah but they are soo close, and some of these people are just joe bloggs of the street who have paid their money and taking their car to the limits who may be quite poor drivers. Surely taking those factors into account its very dangerous isnt it.
