    Day at the Ascari Raceresort

    Hello there..

    Had a splendid day with my wife and other friends on Sunday May 8th,
    this is my 6th time there and 4th times when driving ,,
    with out doubt my favorite place of all on planet earth,,

    A friend of mine is a member there and owns a LOLA F3 with 4cyl Cosworth 2.6 ((engine choice is for reliabuility)) and a RADICAL SR8
    [[ 2.6 V8 with hayabusa heads ]] power is 380 -460 but 380 is reccomended in hot climate
    unbeliveble car compared to the SR3 :eyecrazy


    he started with a SR3 1300 ((Hayabusa engine from POWERTECH)) then a upgraded SR3 1500 and last year he went all inn and took the SR8

    ((remember that ,, the SR8 have hold the Nurburgring record for a while now ,,, but the ZONDA recently broke it,, but the Zonda is not a road-leagal one,, so it actually don´t count ))

    well i can´t really describe in words how astonishing car the SR8 is compared to the SR3
    IMO the RADICAL cars is the best track-toy you can get ,, that means value for money,, the SR3 is more than enough and is A LOT more cheaper to run vs SR8,,
    His SR8 has paddle shift ,, and fore sure you will get better laptime with that but i prefere normal stick ,, (( these cars have sequential gearboxes))

    on sathurday 07 of may,, a young Finnish driver set a track-record in my friends RADICAL,, his age is 14 year quite some talent :cool

    There was a GT 40 replica there from England ,, with oem GURNEY -- WESLAKE Cylender heads ,,, a GORGEOUS car ,, really fast on the straights ,, 548 hp @ the crank


    here are some pictures..


    RADICAL SR8 380 hp


    Me in the passenger seat going for some testlaps


    back in the pit ,, totally devastated after this shocking unbeliveble experience of the performance in the car


    My wife


    Me and the miss going for a spin in a SR3


    After 4 laps in the SR8 .. and then 2 laps in the SR3 my wife called it a day of so i went of ALL ALONE,,,,,,, yeehaaa


    posing,,,,,,,,,,








    RADICAL SR8.....
    The most breathtaking perfomance ,,vehicle,, ROADLEAGAL i have ever driven ..... STUNNING PERFOMANCE



    My friends 599 modified cosmeticly by NOVITEC.. unbeliveble good looking ,, i have driven this car a lot ,, went a tour from Germany-Ascari and back to Germany 3 years ago,, one of the best looking GT cars of all time IMO








    FORD GT 40,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, one of the greatest racing car of ALL TIME
    absolutly gorgeous IMO


    My friend and his LOLA F3








    sorry for small size
    Me and the LOLA,,,,,,, it surpriced me a lot,, how easy it is to drive the car,, i took it for 5 laps and drove slowly at the start and then increased the speed lap by lap ,, this is so different vs the RADICAL ,, the feeling of power is a lot more in the SR8 ,, but the brakes in the LOLA is a chapter of its own,, the brake force after full speed on the straigt,, vs the RADICAL ((and that car have unbeliveble brakes )) is like comparing the Radical to a 1904 Ford T,,,,,,,, you just stop like a giant sledgehammer have hit the car in front,,,, holy shxx

    After a wonderful day,, me and my wife was more than pleased
    absolutly delighted to have an opertunaty to be able of driving some of these great racing cars ,,

    Fore more pictures if someone is interrested

    ps,, here is some older pictures ,, when i got a blast in the CAPARO T1 when they were testing at ASCARI early years in 2008,,
    That blast is the most vulgar car experience i have ever had,,,,,
    Phil Bennet was the pilot,,




    here i am with Michel Verger who have 2 times sat the fastest lap-record on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife in a roadlegal car,,
    Michael is a Radical testdriver ,, but was ;;;;;;;; HELPING;;;;;;; the Caparo team that day


    more pics from that trip



    Thats all for know

    thanks........

    Very cool! But If I may disagree, the Aston is a better looking car vs 599 imho ;)
