Radical Heads East

1st April 2010

Radical has taken another bold step into an emerging market, with the launch of a new distributor base in Poland this week. Radical Polska becomes Radical's 18th regional distributor, serving Poland's rapidly growing motorsport community.

Based at the Tor Poznan circuit in central Poland, Radical Polska has today ordered five 1340cc SR3 RS race cars for its Radical Racing Academy, a new race school placed at the track. In testing, Radical Polska's demonstration SR3 RS was four seconds per lap faster than Ferrari and Porsche race cars testing at the circuit.

Hakan Petersson, Radical's new Polish agent, will be offering four different levels of tuition, from the trackday novice to more experienced racers:
