Peter designed the Radical SR9. I don't think he is selling the car

And correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Peter's involvement is limited at this stage of the game...

i think 25% is a pretty astoninshing figure of increased downforce the SR9 is already the best handling LMP2 car all that extra downforce if it is achieved without any more drag will whoop the porsche RS spyder evo's backend! |

I reckon the best all round package LMP2 out there is certainly the RS Spyder . Its all Porsche and a complete package , with engine and gearbox . Everything else is all customer choice at presant . |

I realise 25% appears a little optimistic, but haven't we been here before when very knowledgable people doubted the figures and pace of new reg LMP's.
Would a 15% increase in downforce for no extra drag, or 25% increase in downforce for 5% extra drag be any less impressive? |

This result, if true, would suggest that the Radical was miles away from its optimum--which is something that I struggle to believe given its performance and the abilities of Mr Elleray. Perhaps the holy grail has been found. I suspect the result is an oddity and the car cannot be balanaced. |

On the free area on DSC is a copy of the Brochure from Rollcentre detailing their Radical for sale.
It is interesting to see the list of parts and costs associated with running such vehicles... |

Hi there,
I went to the general test at Donington on Thursday (23rd November) and was pleased to see the Rollcentre Radical out on track. Martin Short was also around the paddock but I am not sure if there were any prospective buyers there to view/drive the car. Heres a couple of pics I took: - Regards Tim |

I can't imagine Shortie was running the car for fun! And the helmet colours don't look like either his or any of his regular drivers. So I can only assume that it was being run for prospective buyers to check it out! Time will tell....

I haven't asked, but it would appear from the ad on DSC that one of the cars has already been sold since the car for sale is their race car from '06 with no mention of the second car which was in build/kit form.

Hello
Well considering the season that he's just had with the Saleen in the FIA GT series Shaun Balfe might well think that buying the old Rollcentre Radical SR9 would give him a good shot at the LMP2 title especially with Phil Keen on board. Nick |

Question is ..... who would want to buy the Balfe Saleen ? It didnt impress at all .....
Any word on the Melchester Racing rumour ? Is this the same Keen that raced the Taurus Lola B2K-10 a couple of years back ? |

Simon was busy for much of year getting established in a new 'day job' - I agree with the sentiment above - He's a very quick lad indeed.

You sure you aren't confusing Dallaras and Radicals!
