Epsilon have been a top s/seater team for years in Europe - and Vergers is a very quick pro in anything. Their 4th in LMP2 at Sebring should have been higher but for electrical gremlins. Barazi drove well again and (just like at Sebring) they put an excellent, quick guy (Belloc this time instead of Elton Julian) in the third seat.

They just took a good basic chassis, prepared and tested it well, secured the best tyres and took the fight to the LMP1 guys. And without paddle shift or power steering. Pretty cool result, really.

Vergers is a regular in Radiclas isn't he, with links to the factory?

Wouldn't be suprised if Epsilon replace their Courage with a Radical.

Don't think so

So it's the same Epsilon, wasn't sure.

**FIRE** · 10 Apr 2006, 18:29 (Ref:1577863)

Or do you prefer a LMP2?

It will be interesting to see if Vergers retains his factory Radical position now that he's driving for a competitor in LMP2 this year. Of course, there is no true factory Radical squad (Tim Greaves is sorta going on his own I think), so hopefully there is no conflict of interest. It's nice to see Stuart Mosley getting a go in Greaves' car too.

I read the race reports and Istanbul sounds like a proper and good Racing circuit, too bad of the fuel shortage...
but Huzah for Radical's performance and the Panoz and the ferrari up on GT2 podium... good show Pescarolo.how much will these races lead in to LEMANS success?

Will the works SR9 be the same spec as the Rollcentre machine ?

Graham Goodwin · 11 Apr 2006, 06:10 (Ref:1578244)

No - the works car will have an AER engine

The Badger · 11 Apr 2006, 07:01 (Ref:1578266)

What about the gearbox and corner mods that Rollcentre have made , will they be carried over too ?

I have been away all weekend at Brands Hatch with the BTCC, so I am just getting up to speed on last weekends events. I have say it soulds like that Radical is one quick car, even with very little development, it might cause a few suprises as the year goes on.
