Radical Clubsport to ProSport?

[RobC]

Does anyone know the fundamental differences between the Club and Pro sports?

The differences I know of are -

- Engine
- Wheels
- Tyres (cross ply vs radial)
- Bodywork i.e. wings/splitters

Reason for asking is that I'm looking to run a Clubsport next year, it'll be my first year circuit racing a car so I'm looking for track time in the car rather than out and out performance. But I would like the option of upgrading the club sport at a later date to ProSport spec but fundamentally just the bodywork/wheels/tyres to start with. Engine will be a later project once the bank account recovers from the other upgrades. But if the Club/Pro sports are radically different (see what I did there ) then this might be the wrong way to go initially. I was led to believe that the chassis/running gear on both models were the same (with the obvious revisions in chassis design over the years)

Any feedback would be great.

Cheers

Are you sure that the chassis are the same, and that there are no other difference other than the wing fittings?

Other than that, as you may have seen on the other Radical post, parts from Radical can be expensive and engines from Powertec may be pricey.

This may be a question to ask Radical direct?? There is also a Radical forum on www.pistonheads.com (i'm not promiting it, but it may be a useful resource in this case) which may be helpful.

Cheers for the reply, don't worry I've done my research on classes etc and running costs. Didn't know about the Pistonheads forum.....will check that out

Thanks
