Sorry, unless you mean the radicals were leaving the GT3s. Clearly my point is about the atom 🤣

The acceleration is just astonishing! Its the fastest car I have ever been driven on a track! I remembered the radicals were quite quick that day!

Yes the Radicals are unbelievably quick, especially the SR8. My neck was sore a few days after. And my left ear felt like someone had hit my ear drum with a baseball bat until I used ear plugs. Overtaking Porche GT3's on the outside like they are in slow motion is fun!
Something wrong with the GT3s if that is happening. The Atom is rapid but doubt it would pull anything on a GT3 on s straight. I was at Snetterdon in my 3.5 SC and on the straights I was pretty much the same as my brother's f80 M3 CP. Of course much better braking and cornering but on the straight, not a lot in it.

Maybe I need to get my car checked !

Had a chat with Steve (I think) when I picked my car up who said that Ferrari turned up with 2 cars, one road spec, the other track, a van full of tyres and 3-4 technicians. Still came third….

Magazines really shouldn’t accept that nonsense.

There are different layouts at Anglesey, the Coastal has the little downhill corkscrew and the International has a long loop instead. Always like going to Anglesey and the cross country drive through Wales there and back.

Dallara Stradale 1min 33.4
Ariel Atom 4 1min 35.2
McLaren 600lt 1min 35.6
Porsche 718 gt4 1min 39.6

That is one hell of a laptime from the atom. Quicker than the 600lt and only beaten by the dallara.

I dont understand this, the 3.5R did a 1.13 with evo magazine (Mono did 1.07😬)
How can this difference be so big

Good to watch, but I got fed up with the adverts kicking in, so downloaded a copy to my computer and watched it with no interruptions. :tu:

At the risk of breaching copyright, I've downloaded all the pages and knitted them together correctly so that none of the photos are cut in half.

(I'll plead ignorance due to my age is questioned about it. :wize: )

Any way, here's the last two with the conclusions of the article.
