    Hi David, thanks for the comments. The radical is the cheapest car of the 3. The mnr s2000 next and the caterham almost twice the price!
    The radical is by far the fastest of the 3 on a circuit, and is easy to run and maintain.it is proving very reliable also. The only issue I have had was a rear wheel bearing. The only problem with the radical is the bodywork is a 2 man job to remove.which I don't mind as I usually have someone to help me. The radical car will probably be for sale in septemeber or October once the sprint season is over as I'm moving to race cars next year!

      Hi Dan! Many thanks for your reply! So the Radical is even the most fun?? Which was the easier to drive to going fast?
      Which engine do you have on Radical, 1300 Hayabusa?
      Have you already an idea about the price, you will asking for your Radical? Because i would be really interested...
      I've done a few open pitlane with a Caterham R300 rented out for the occasion, and i found it quite easy to drive, and even quite fast.
      But honestly i don't like so much the 2000 ford engine, I prefer much more bike engine, or as 2000cc the VTECH S2000 engine!
      I saw also your MNR S2000 Powered and was amazing!!! Did you sold it, or do you still have it? What about the performance? I think was really fast, regard of the engine i think was even faster than Radical, isn't?

    Hi again David, the radical is much much faster and easier to drive than the other cars I have had. You can slide the rear if you really want to but not as easily as the kit cars as they don't have the rear end grip of the radical. The mid engined layout gives superb balance. The brakes are far far better as I have just replaced them all for the hi-spec big brake kit with performance friction pf05 pads.
    Obviously the radicals big advantage is the aerodynamics and downforce at high speeds. It really is a very fast car! The engine is a 1300 powertec hayabusa with race carbs and dry sump setup

      Hi Dan, really many thanks for all your advices!! Really i can't say thanks enough!!! Before to speak with you I had many dubt, about my decision, but now i don't have anymore!!! Definitely i want to buy a radical!!!
      The your then is really amazing, even with paddleshift!!!And seriously, if you are thinking to sell your in the next future, i'm very very interested! If you have already an idea of which price would be (roughly of course) would be very appreciated to know. Because if the price will be around my budget i could say even from now, when you will decide to sell, definitely i will buy your Radical.
      Just today i've done the open pitlane on Bedford rented out a Caterham R300 Superlight, infact i'm really destroyed, but has been a fantastic day.
      What can i say is, today i was one of the faster driver on circuit, and the Caterham is really a great and very performance car, but there are some limit,exactly those as you said, and even today when i was running, i thought " is really a funny car, but i'm sure that radical is another world".
      I didn't never tried a Radical, and i really would like to do this, but i didn't found any company from whom i can rent it out for a track day to finally try it.
      I can pay even £500/£600 for a day but i really don't know where i could go to ask.
      Seen that you own a Radical maybe you could know someone that can do this, if so, please just let me know, i would be very grateful to you!
      The last thing because i don't want to annoy you, if it pleases you you can add me on facebook, or we can exchange a contact like email, to speak through it.
      My name is David Schiano.
      Thanks again for all!
      Bye!

    I sold the mnr s2000to a man in the south of France and delivered it to him. He is very happy with it on track and the only thing he has replaced are brake pads and oil in the 2 years he's had it

    Hi Dan! I saw all your video, nice driving, and nice cars!! Great!
    I would like to buy a car for trackdays and i'm still undecided exactly from the 2 cars that you have; Or MNR Vortx( my preferred Kit Car even more that Caterham) bike engine powered, or S2000 powered, or a Radical Prosport!! Could you tell how they go, which is more funny, which do you prefer, and why, which is less expansive to run, and something like that? Some advices would be very appreciated!
    Thanks again for your video!
    Cheers

    No problem David. If you need any help I can give you honest advice. It's probably easier to email me on
    danielmason81@tiscali.co.uk to discuss my car as I have so much stuff/spares/ extras with it which you may not need.
    Im on Facebook too as daniel mason if you want to see pictures and things. Cheers
