Radical Smash Nurburgring Lap Record

As posted a few days ago, the Gumpert Apollo Sport set a new lap record for a road-legal production car at the Nürburgring at 7m11.57s.



Yesterday (20/08/09), Radical not only set a faster time, it smashed the record with a 6 minutes 48 second laptime.

The car was driven both to and on the 'Ring with Dunlop track tyres mounted to the wheels. Radical did not change the tyres before the run, to emphasize yet another point. "We've proved that the SR8LM is not only the world's best trackday car, but it's also practical enough to drive to and from the circuit," said Radical co-founder Mick Hyde. "It is a genuine production sportscar, with genuine performance credentials, as we've shown today."

Job well done guys:
