AC Radical SR3 XXR @ Silver City Raceway, Thu 13th April 2023

HF2000 · Apr 8, 2023

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

As an intermezzo for the Agile championship and the Rookie events, today something that promises to be a lot of fun.

Recently, modders have published fantastic new high quality work. Today we're going to combine two: the Radical SR3 car and the fictional Silver City Raceway in a setting from the 1960s. A great combination as far as I'm concerned. If you agree and like it too, it would be nice to buy the makers a cup of coffee.

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS is essential for clean and respectful driving in our community. You should therefore use tools like Helicorsa or CarRadar and CrewChief. The links for these apps are on the bottom of this post.

DISCORD. It's important that you also join us during the event on Discord for additional information and instructions. Link is below.

Noticed a lot of comments about it crashing when loaded to a track?

Don't know. It went smoothly for me.

cerebralvortex · Apr 8, 2023

Oh no, drove the track yesterday, would be fun to race there but can't on that day..

Just loaded it OK, but seems there is a history of issues. What a track! If you thought Portimao was a rollercoaster ride, then this is on a another level (literally several elevations actually)

.

Is that a DC-3 Dakota flying Han?

Shaun Clarke did a really good Radical as well but that seems to have disappeared from RD. Shaun also did a pretty good Seat Leon TCR as well as the Ginetta GT4 we race.

Been trying to tame this little car, but was having some trouble on other tracks. Felt like the default brake bias was too far back. Just tried it out here and it runs great!

Han, have you seen this great skin pack for the car - https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/skin-pack-for-urd-radical-sr3.58285/

Don't know what goes into uploading them to the server, but even for offline they're fun to have

I just signed up and it is on the Agile championship. Will this race effect the points of that series?
It looks like it will

gearwhine · Apr 9, 2023

Have had this car for a little while and not used it. Apart from the fact that it feels so light i cannot keep it on the track i will have to change the sound. It is really graiting on my ears. Will probably use Shaun Clarkes sound as at present it sounds like it is going to throw a rod at any second!

No it's in the classic cars championship which isn't a real championship but for the use of sign up forms I have to use this format. It's the same as the multiclass Abarth/Mazda.

Sure there will be points awarded but you don't need to take notice of that.

Giando Fraschini · Apr 11, 2023

I think i'm gonna join this one too!
I'll officially sign up tonight, thanks.

stigs2cousin · Apr 11, 2023

Silver City Raceway is gorgeous, great find Han

Shame I don´t klick with the Radical, a lot of screaming for negligent power and the booty way to loose for me, I´m spoiled by the FA nowadays.

So I hope Han remembers SCR for a Multiclass, maybe even with period correct racecars

Happy Racing everyone Carsten

Medilloni · Apr 11, 2023

Now that is a stunning combo

...drove the car a few times, though the track seems to really suit it, and added bonus, this version of the Radical responds really well to set-up changes (unlike the other versions)
Could you please set these events for a Saturday so I can join
