Radical News.....

October 2009 The Radical European Masters series supports both the Le Mans Series and the German Touring Car package, DTM, in a hugely succesful Radical single-marque race series for both single and two-driver teams.

With an hour of testing, half an hour of qualifying and two 45-minute races the series provides plenty of track time at Europe's top racing venues. Grid sizes this year are approaching forty cars, which provides a great spectacle and lots of close racing.

We are now approaching the final round of the Radical European Masters in Dijon, France on October 9-11.

This should be interesting from many perspectives, including the superb track and still open championship results. I should also mention that our supporting act, the barely camouflaged sportprototypes by Mercedes and Audi, are also in attendance in the form of the DTM. You may remember that during the last parallel match of DTM and the Radical European Masters at Le Mans a year ago, top lap times were the same for both. What would happen, if we started paying our drivers?

Reigning McLaren Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Alexander Sims gave a display of his undoubted talents, by taking his works run SR8 to a double victory on his sports car racing debut.

The UK Cup and European Masters annual UK get together assembled a magnificent 39 car grid. Derek Johnston/Stuart Moseley’s SR8 lined up on pole for the first race, 0.5secs quicker than Sims, while John Stanley/James Swift’s SR8LM shared row two with Terrence Woodward/Ross Kaiser’s SR8.

September 2009 After a sunny weekend and great and challenging races at the Nürburgring the 2009 Radical European Masters is going to another highlight: Starting September 10, we will hold races 9 and 10 of the Radical European Masters at the "Home of British Motor Racing", the traditional circuit in Silverstone. At this round we will again team up with our guests from the Radical UK Cup.
