Radical's new SR3 Turbo, driven by touring car ace, Phil Bennett, shattered the Nordschleife lap record of 7:32, by a massive 13 seconds. The new record was made all the more impressive by the fact that the all-new 1500 turbo-engined car had only covered a small number of development miles at Lotus' Hethel test circuit, and the record was achieved during it's first and only flying lap of the awesome 14-mile German circuit.
For bikers it's worth remembering that there are some very quick cars out there, especially noticeable in the tighter sections where their superior grip really gives them a speed advantage. If you hear the dreaded squeak of rubber behind you get out of the way ... you can always try to get your own back in the uphill sections!
