Decided to buy the formula mazda as that's the car I most want to race. And to be honest, I'm a little disappointing by it, just doesn't feel very alive like other single seaters I have driven before. I hope its just the setup that I was using, but out of first gear corners you can just floor it without spinning the wheels or sliding the rear. The only way to get the rear end sliding was to go to lime rock park and drive to fast over bumps.

I thought that radical looked the Biz, I haven't forked out for that yet though. That seems odd with the formula Mazda, it has a fair bit more power than that Skip.

I think in general there is a lack of big horse power cars, but I am sure they will come.

Yeah I thought that to until I looked up the C&R Racing Silver Crown Car :yikes:

Also that Radical should be damn quick, it held a lap record @ Nurburgring, it has 2x1300 Hyabusa engines in it :)
iRacing wrote:Near the top of the Radical range is the SR8 V8, which claimed the overall lap record at the Nurburgring's legendary 13-mile, 173-turn Nordschliefe. With 350+ horsepower and 1,320 pounds (dry; all-up weight including driver and all fluids of 1,750 pounds) the performance of this nimble two-seater is little short of stunning.
The 2.6-liter Powertec RPA, which boasts a rev limit of 10,500 rpm, is a V8 based on the four-cylinder Suzuki GXXR1300 architecture. A pair of twin-cam, four-valve, four-cylinder Suzuki cylinder heads and blocks are installed at a 72-degree angle on a purpose-built billet crankshaft and custom-cast light alloy dry-sump crankcase.
EDIT: Here is an onboard of that Nurby lap, which I could watch all day :)

I can't believe the seesaw action on the wheel. Watching one of the vids on GT5p they are just back and forth the whole time. I find it amazing they are even going in the direction they want at times.

Sorry, I know it's off topic but, if you want to talk "balls of steel" at the Nurburgring you can't ignore this guy:

Stefan Roser in the RUF CTR "Yellowbird" in 1987. Held the fastest production car time for a while. And here he is in this beast of a car, no helmet, wearing jeans and a t-shirt while he powers past everything. If you thought the guy in the Radical was sawing at the wheel... :yikes:

He drives like a rally car driver. :lol:

That's nothing compared to porsche 956's at the ring. Those guys had helmets but it wouldnt have made much difference at 300+ KPH :)

So, I see your crazy drift imatation porsche driver and raise you a lap with the legends:
