Hello all and thank you Charley for your email and introduction to the site... Great initiative to create a register for these fantastic machines.
My name is Nikki and I am the owner and manager of Acqua Rossa Motorsport. We specialise in Radical SR3 rental on most european tracks as well as Radical servicing, maintenance and race/trackday support for our customer cars. We are based in Switzerland but also have some premises in France located close to "Circuit de Bresse".
Looking forward to meeting other Radical owners and enthusiasts out there. 🙂
Welcome Nikki. It’s great to have you as part of the community. Out of curiosity, how does your rental program work? Do you primarily rent to people running in a racing series? Or could someone that is vacationing near one of the tracks you support rent a car for a track day? So far I have used Rental racers at Daytona, Road America, and Limerock Park. This could be a great excuse for me to take a European vacation. 🙂

Thank you for the welcome Charley.
We primarily rent for trackdays and have had very little request so far for actual racing, which is something we've been doing more for customer-owned cars.
We have one customer from Lowell (MA) who has been renting our SR3's at a few race tracks when he's come to Europe on vacation, including Spa and Dijon. So indeed this could be a great excuse for a trip to Europe. 🙂
Spa is one of my greatest Dream tracks. I will have to figure out a way to arrange a European Vacation at a time that aligns with a track day that you are attending at SPA. What an amazing experience!
Thank you for submitting your car (SR300376) to the Registry. I have been trying to identify when Life ECU's were first added to the SR3, so your information identifying your car as one of the first 5 to be equipped with it is very helpful. Can you post some pictures of the ECU installation (it sounds like it is in an unusual location)?
Thank you again for contributing to the Forum!
Charley
It's a pleasure to be part of the community... I will try to get some pictures out of the ECU installation soon. The car is in the workshop at the moment... 🙂
Regarding Spa, I've not made a calendar yet for next year but will try to compose one in the next few weeks with first dates.
Hi Nikki,
let me know about your calendar in 2019, I might be interested to join you with my own SR3 if this is possible. Where are you based in CH, I am asking because I am living close to Basel.
cheers

Hello Markus,
I'm sorry I've only seen your message now. It would be a pleasure to meet you indeed at some trackday... You are welcome to join any trackday we attend and we can provide support for your SR3 if you need it.
I've just finished the first version of our calendar for 2019. It is viewable online at the following address:

We are based in Neuchatel canton but we now have new premises also in France near (7 km) Circuit de Bresse.
Hope to meet you during the course of the year.

Nikki, I would recommend making a separate post showing your schedule and Radical rental costs. I think the idea of driving Spa (or some of the other tracks) in a Radical may be irresistible.
Charley
THanks Charley, that's a great idea... I shall do that. 🙂
