Radical on the Nurburgring

[xcarlosx007]

Nissan R92CP* I think .

[ripcurl010]

i take it the time was 7:27 then

[Jesus45U]

@ripcurl010

He crosses the old startline at 0:19 and crosses it again at 7:18, so that would be a 6:59 time in a road legal car. That said, it's rather spartan and the Ferrari 599 GTO can do it too, though it costs a lot more.

[Nitehawk770]

this is one of the best hot lap vids ive seen ina long time...he's working the wheel like no tomorrow, and i think he keeps reachin to tighten his belts......wow 5/5

[mhthomas]

not too mention the even bigger power slide at 5:48 on the left hander

[andrewcalder012]

I was on the edge of my seat!

He got some oversteer on that down-hill right-hander, wow I pooped.

I think he checked his wristwatch on the straightaway too. (haha jk)

[andrewcalder012]

And what is he driving? A SoupCan? I think I heard something fall off.

[shooterman619]

he's probably checking his seatbelt i think..

[quati]

i could never drive like this!!!

[vaseloo]

this fucker is nuts, he's really fast, i can't believe my eyes

[vvrich]

Quite amazing! This looks amazingly fast from in car.

[hjukder]

Great vid thanks for posting..that car seems very well suited for this track compared to some others i seen. driver has a hairy set of nuts as well and is really fast.

[Dryzaum]

Ur my hero, that was awesome!

[marvinbenz]

watch how he clips every apex ,this man is a professional.on the longer straights he manually adjusts the downforce of the car through a switch mounted next to the gear lever.i do however question that this lap was done on srteet treaded tires.

[scottkarana]

I don't know if other "production car" laps are done on street-treaded tires, but I imagine this is done on slicks.

[Tactical300]

Is downforce adjustable on the fly in a Radical?

I would think that he was playing with the brake bias between turns to optimize braking to be as efficient as possible, or maybe something else like TC.

[dschoene57]

The save into Schwalbenschwanz was simply amazing ! That was some supreme car control !!

[rossyboy1000]

BRITISH BUILT!!!!!

[rossyboy1000]

busa engine in it, and away you go

[rossyboy1000]

far better than any gay station3

[bludragwag0nz]

this is fucking crazy...imagine losing control at those speeds

[cromulentinnoc3nce]

that was fucking amazing.

car was fast as hell but it sounded like it was fallin apart.. all those squeaks and groans, and the engine sound wasn't terribly pleasing.

i guess that makes his feat even more amazing.

[TaLoCc]

dam i love that fame mess straight away!!dam his fast

[lvbuckeye]

holy crap. i can't get around the 'Ring that fast on my Playstation...

[Plywalker]

Tru dat!

[SDMFDevilsLabeL]

omg... its almost a suicide

[monkeypoo1]

his name is micheal Vergers, and he is the official tester for radical. He races sportscars and has been at le mans a few times.

[donbehatin]

Wow. That dude has some serious BALLS. I wouldn't go around that track on a riding lawn mower going 8 mph... much less in that thing going 200+. Good God.

[foxyzach]

omfg this guys got balls thats got to be so freaking psyco id be scared to death to be going 200+ on that track

[Drewery123]

God thats fast, really impressive driving there I love watching laps of the Nurburgring its such a dynamic racetrack.

[craniumcasey]

hly shit,,,,this guy is hauling ass

[FuzzyStone01]

this man has great courage...damn fast

[Timar123]

That was AWESOME!! Man u can hear the car scrapping rite on the dround!! Sweeeet.

[pasadinas]

FANTASTIKO FRATELLO SEI UN GRANDE

[indelible721]

that coudnt possibly have been done on street tires. i love the nurburgring. big ups for postin this shit

[crapshoot619]

This is freakin awesome! This track is definitely on of the hardest in the world. I played this on Gran Turismo 4, it is definitely not an easy track to master.

That other car got owned (6:20)

[EnragedSephiroth]

Omy God that track got chewed up.

[CarlGundel]

Wow, you REALLY need to know the track to drive that fast!

[nowdatzkool]

he's kreepin

[burntToast69]

wow i doubt it was done on street tires

[tinteraminator]

Auf der Döttinger Höhe dachte ich das Auto löst sich in die Bestandteile auf.

[gyrenejoe]

Freaking sweet - The car sounds like it's about to come apart. :D

[streetcarconsortium]

YOU LEGEND - WOW

[vintageracer89]

The car is a Radical RS8, and the engine is a 2.6 litre V8. The video is the record lap of 6:55 sec. He did it on street tires!!

[vintageracer89]

WOW!! That guy has that trck down!! I cant even do a lap under 7 seconds on Gran Turismo. Sounds like a Porsche with the tiptronic transmission.

[ICE888]

its definitely a Hayabusa engine under that hood and damn thats fast!!!

[monkeypoo1]

That guy is called Micheal Vergers, and this is him setting the overall lap record last year. He's an amazing driver, and has massive experience of the nurburgring.

[triggerhappy341]

Hes not waving to him :roll: Hes saying thanks for letting him through. How old are u?

[triggerhappy341]

Great Driver

[scoob5555]

my heart is PUMPING!  Man is that invigorating.

[getplaning]

Wow. If this guy could get strapped in right he could shave a few more seconds off. Amazing footage.

[cattleman6420012000]

Incredible!! Damned fast!!! Great to watch. A true master at work!!

[Balance1973]

Would've been good if we had some outside footage to see how much this thing moved around. DAMN FAST just the same!

[Pyrez]

under 7 min? that guy must of been practicing.

[206mic]

love it..what amazes me is the fact that there was no traffic what so ever for this guy.i take it they closed the track or something?

[Schaapp]

Amazing traction.

[toothpik00]

bloody awesome

[nuclearthreat545]

Radicals have some really fast ass acceleration time but not a fast top speed. Awsome cars tho!
