I bought an Sr3 RS 5 months ago from Wales. Had it shipped to Cyprus and just brought it out to the track for the 1st time last week. I bought the car for my daughter who's been karting for some time. I got the Radical for her to practice driving a car and something with downforce to ease her into Formula 4. Took us some time to get it to the track because she's 5'2 and her coach is 6'2". But we got it to work for both with some adjustments. She did an endurance race in a West Racing Vita-01 but thats got a Toyota Vios engine in it. No where near the down force or power of the Radical. She's got a good coach and plenty of time to get up to speed. The data logging is a big help. Once she gets the physical strength and cardio needed to put in the laps she's gonna be fine. New to Radical and the Registry. I've asked questions in the past on the FB page. Lots of info and knowledge here. Thanks to everyone
Welcome Nick! You have one lucky daughter! I am looking forward to following you and your daughters progress with the Radical and her eventual move into F4.

Thanks Charlie! So far she doesn't feel lucky! She got beat up pretty bad her 1st day out. She drove 15 laps in 2 sessions and was a passenger for 15 with her coach going 1/2 a second off the track record. Her seat mold still needs to be made so we went out with a temporary one which had her moving way too much. She's gotta get her strength and her cardio up but once she's got that she'll find her way. The closest Radical races from us are in Israel and Greece so we might do a race or two in 2021 if she gets to a competitive level. Time will tell. Its going to be an interesting journey.

@nicklaconico, Yes. Driving Radicals is a very physical experience. But once she spends some time in the car I am sure she will do well.

A good seat is a must. These things can pull some G's : ) Good stepping stone for your daughter. Good luck to you both.
