Hunting Ferrari Challenge Cars In A Radical SR3 RSX | Spa Francorchamps

- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- Last week I took the Radical SR3 to Spa Francorchamps for a test day with a bunch of other race cars. We had LMP3, GT3, GT4 and some Ferrari Challenge cars. It's always fun mobbing these in the corners even thought they have much more pace on the straights.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks, Sam

Such an awesome car to drive at Spa, now I need to man up, brake later and put my foot down earlier.
Don't we all! I love your footage. What do you use to edit your aim footage?
Some of the best in-car I’ve seen in ages. And that save at around 2:04!

@@craigyirush3492 great to hear people are enjoying the vids. Haha, that split second where you aren't sure whether the car is going to drift all the way into the gravel.
Great driving & awesome video!
These are definitely my fav highlights:
02:00 - 02:03 Awesome save!
06:32 - 06:33 too!
04:00 - 04:08 Nice overtake on the Ferrari 488 GT3/Challenge car.
09:10 - 09:14 Didn't know the Radical SR3 was faster than an AMG GT4
Wow Sam your not hanging about. Great footage/driving and I like the way you were bullying the super cars🤣🤣 impressive...keep the content coming 👍
Thanks, it's such a great place to be in any car and one that corners this well is unreal.
Now that's what I call driving! great skills, loved the video!
🙏🏻
Loved watching that video!
Performance per dollar Can’t beat those radicals.
Great driving brother!!
You've been killing it with the content lately Sam! Keep it up!!!
Agree.
Excellent! Perfect camera placement that shows the car around the limit in the corners, on the edge between under- and oversteer. Flat out thru or rogue was fantastic. Love it. Great job.
What a machine that Radical is. Great content.
You're driving the car well and pushing it hard but it's short on horsepower out of the corners and on the longer pulls. Cool video!
Amassing recovery !
@1:45 was a close call but you saved it. Good job.
Awesome!
Really enjoyed this Sam. What an awesome car for an awesome track. Not jealous at all, not one bit...not even a tiny bit! 😂 Look forward to more videos
Thanks, it's such a great car. You would have trouble on a normal track day as you really need to be passing on the way in or mid corner as everything else pulls back away on the straights.
love the videos sam! great insights!!
never saw one of these before but one was listed locally for sale. 1400 powertec engine, looked at shell and thought ''this was would be a speed demon and so much fun''. looks like I was correct. £19k second hand, affordable enough serious speed
Brilliant track and car. I will be going next month and may go to the 24 hours of spa aswell. Thank you for sharing,
Enjoy! It's such an amazing place and the 24hrs is wicked
@@sammooresphoto whats the engine in your radical??
Really love this track footage!
Glad you enjoy it 👍🏻
Can you to if you haven't done a video already about operations cost to run and SR3? They are a bit more limited here in the US but I think it would eventually be a sweet little ride as a dedicated track car. Is the maintenance done fairly easy or does most of the work need to be outsourced by a mechanic
Looked fast and fun -:)
great vid how much open top is scary
Haha, I don’t really think about it…and then I think about it!
would be really nice to get other videos of the radical :-)
If you want to get into racing where’s a good place to start
nice drift)
as a Young driver, looking at formula 4 and other series, would you say a radical series is better cost wise?
I think it’s pretty reasonable, I don’t know the numbers I’m afraid
Nice one Sam!
Flying!
You can almost see the difference the fresh rubber made. Looked a right handful beforehand. In fact you went so wide into that chicane one time I’m surprised you didn’t have to pay to get back in. 😜 (I’ll let you use that one).
Seriously though, great stuff. I used to run a Global GT Light (cheaper Radical rip-off) and that was always twitchy. I couldn’t gel with it as I like my grip.
Plus the fact my legs would form the crumple zone in a smash.
Anyway keep the content coming. I’m sure the views will come.
Good to see some first hand track stuff on here.
Nice one! 👍🏻
PS Are you racing this year or having a year of test/track days etc to get to grips with it more?
Yeah, actually a huge difference in corner entry was made by actively trying to smooth out my inputs (driver error eh 😂). I may use that line... The SR3 is pretty sensitive to setup and trying to manage tyres over time seems to take some getting used to. I do love a car that moves around tho. My plan this year is do some testing in the sr3 until I’m quicker and do some more endurance races like the c1 24hr races.
Excellent. Sounds like a plan. Those C1 races look bonkers. We’d have a go ourselves but based in Northumberland the distances to Silverstone etc are just too far.
Anyway I’m looking forward to more videos.
All the best with it. 👍🏻
If you get any down time it would be great to see you hit the Alps with James (JWW). You in the ‘7RS and him in his manual 991, as I doubt he’d put 3000 miles on the TDF for one trip. 😉
The radical sr3 is the real life version of Spectyte

can you drive this car off track?
Nope, unless you mean into the barriers and that is definitely possible 😂

So, I've been scratching my head what to get as a track car for a while now, and the SR3 appears very tempting. It's quite affordable and probably better to learn how to drive than a fully electronic-controlled car such as a M3 track car. But I'm wondering if it is possible to run a SR3 on a track day as a single person?
I think it’s possible but you’d really need to know your way round a car. They always require fettling and seem to splurge oil quite a bit. You then also run into costs for tyres etc. Unreal performance tho
I am not handy, but run my car alone at the track. A winch in your trailer is necessary. Run engine to warm-up to temp. Need a hand to help take rear bodywork off to check oil.
@@seidshot Sounds like getting the car off the trailer is the hardest? The rest seems pretty doable. Did you run into larger maintenance during track days?
@@sammooresphoto Running costs are high, sure. I'm more concerned spending more time under the car than in it during valuable track time...
@@LimaUniformCharlieA It is a great platform to run. Lightweight so easy on brakes and tires. Super fun to drive and race. I roll it off with a remote held winch. you can see my trailer (8.5x20). Warm up engine, torque wheels, fuel, tire pressure. I don't do any maintenance myself, but have oil and filter changed every 6hrs, and tranny fluid every 12 hrs. Have not had maintenance issues at track. If you spin, clutch in quickly so you don't break the starter motor.
Radically twitchy....Please do more video of your early 911
Ferrari Challange is no challange.
You are simply not so strong in acceleration
