Posted by: @sr10formetoo I configured my SR10 with a center seat and a driver halo. As such is it still necessary to have padding on the roll hoop front braces? I have heard that the factory Radica...

@lunatic, I highly recommend always using a HANS device in any car that uses racing harnesses. Normal car seat belts have “tear strips” that allows the seatbelt length to get longer as crash force in...

@sr10formetoo, if you have the center seating position with a halo head restraint you don’t need the pads for the cross bars. In your configuration they are just for looks.

Did you not see what happened to Romain Grosjean in Bahrain last year? I bought a much more expensive suit the next week. (apparently, I wasn't the only one, lol) Our cars aren't formula cars, but the...

Agree entirely, wear one. Kind of like insurance, you dont want to use it in the case of an accident, but if you need it - you really need it. When I went from tracking a street car many years ago to...

This is an easy one… Yes, you definitely want a suit. These cars are very safe but they are race cars and things can happen. Remember you are sitting right on top of the fuel cell. One time I was d...

Definitely. Many organizations require a suit in a car like the Radical along with arm restraints and a current fire suppression system.

I also use the Bell GTX. On sunny days I wear blade type sunglasses in it which are bigger than the prescription glasses I wear when not using contacts. Solved all my helmet lift problems and has wor...

Both my son and I wore the Bell GTX. My son wears glasses and never had a problem. I love the aero on the GTX. I used if for a formula car and my Radical. Did you get your SR10 yet? I have one o...

Hi Phil (@sr10formetoo), I have had great luck with Bell helmets because they fit my head shape well. It is a good idea get a helmet with good aero features, but the single most important factor is h...

I also wear prescription glasses, but use Stilo helmet and love it. I did add the chin bar and rear diffuser Stilo attachment after switching from a Porsche car to Radical, and it stopped the uplift ...

Phil, Congrats, I'm sure many of us on here are jelly. Myself included. Most haven't had a chance to see the car much less drive it yet so let us know what your impressions are when you finally have ...

@sr10formetoo Welcome Phil. I'm new myself. Great choice on the SR10! You only live once to get what you want, right?
