Radical SR1 Cup: This Could be Your First Taste Of Racing - XCAR 

I would have asked for 29k only :), man this car is a bargain is it SL?

Fat Fat no, it isn't

There are used and in good condition with a bunch of goodies for almost half.

the sp/300r isn't road legal is it? or do you mean the caterham academy?

givemeajackson Yeah the Academy.

i agree, 21'000£ for a season of racing is extremely cheap, and caterhams are such awesome cars!

I'd prefer the SR1 to be honest, although I agree that the academy is fantastic value. Different strokes for different folks. And you don't need a lorry; get a trailer! They aren't expensive.

The car is yours.

+Ancient um, he said It's a "Real race car", ummm not it's not and neither is an SR3, I was simply pointing to the errors said in this video, with exaggerations like this, it is important to set people straight right from the beginning, not market it without the full story. I nearly bought an SR3 and fell for the whole Radical spin, but I wised up and bought something else, it is exactly the advice others need to hear too sometimes. It's a lot of money, people don't need to spend twice, Radical has not been a good company to deal with in Australia, they are only focused on profits from Rich people and not focused enough on the true passion of racing sadly, I'm not sure what it's like in Europe?

+Simons World Dude, chill out! The guy in the video was just saying its a great racing car to start out with and the fact it has Le Mans car overtones would make the driver feel amazing as someone who has never been around a track before.

Still better than most of the stripped road cars that need a bunch of mods and coin and still are slower and not has good as this. He should have said LMP car. Radical is a blessing in the current world of racing. And yes Radicals SR1 are race cars, pretty obvious one and they are great here if they suck there is the distributor that you have to bitch about. Plus, you are an amateur, why do you care so much about the brand or the car? Just get something cheap, fast and reliable and go on to the track.

Or do something about it, that's what people with REAL ambition do.

paintsheilds I dont even know what to do about it. It does not mean i have not tried. 

Volunteer in a racing team (rally, or track) to do whatever, try to learn whatever you can, if you can get a job, find the cheapest championship in your country (karting for example) or get a cash cow with a couple of friends and get a chance of driving a decent car in a decent competition and be the fastest of them all and the guy that doesn't wreck any car. To get good at driving, either put together some coin and do a couple of courses or just get a cheap car and go to track days with it and try to culminate your driving faults. But dude, your best shot, is to just make good money and race because racing doesn't pay the living costs of almost anyone, much less those who are poor. The only thing that actually pays usually is either WRC, F1 and factory teams on other competitions. More times than not, people pay to race, rather than the other way around.
