I'm Back RACING Again!

in

It's been a long time since I've been in the SR3. Only my second time racing in the Radical Challenge which is quite a hotly contested series so the competition is pretty tough. Learning so much all the time and mainly trying to keep the car on the black. Hope you enjoy the video, please do let me know any thoughts. 

It's race weekend again! Only the second time i've raced the Radical SR3 RSX and i'm learning all the time. The weekend starts out with some testing on the Friday and trying to learn how to drive the track in a high downforce light car.
