Love how you left those mono's standing at 3:41like they are Skodas or something, you got held up a little bit on the first mono prob lost ~2 seconds there
A car like this held the street legal record for many years, I'm not sure it's really street legal, if it is, it shouldn't. Anyway it was a great fun to watch, a very cool video.
One thing is doing a 6:47 in a 2 million euro pagani zonda R on a closed track. A completely different thing is doing a 6:58 in toy car with downforce and a bike engine on a lap with traffic. Hats off to the driver!
I don't think I've seen a better recorded lap on RU-vid - the speed is one thing, but the amount carried through the corner is superb and how early you're on the gas. Awesome.
This is one amazing lap! But then something came in to my mind, to put in perspective that ACR Viper did lap of 7,01 !!!! How f**king big balls you have to have with street legal semislicks and quite much more weight to get anywere near of this Radical SR8 with slicks.
+mosaab504 On the prior straight the closing speed would be somewhere between 150~200 km/h. The vast majority of drivers just wouldn't notice someone from behind at that closing speed; especially going into a corner that is somewhat dodgy without downforce.

Well he's pushing pretty fucking hard. I actually think he made the choice LONG before he got to the car and it probably surprised him. He's travelling so fast those decisions are fucking hard to make. Not to mention if he lifted over that crest, it could have had bad consequences as well. Just thought it was a good spot for that quote :P
