Radical RXC Turbo 500 Street-Legal Chasing Audi R8 GT3 at Monza! - OnBoard Best Lap 1.52.17

[@Don.of.]

These things are absolutely majestic, the turning in a radical is amazing...or at least according to the physics in Forza haha

[@Zog26]

Don't know what's more insane - the noise or the levels of grip that things has!

[@CryptoBond007]

It's ultra smooth and does it effortlessly. It may look slow but that's the sign of a very quick car. Look at the way he eats up cars and he really isn't forcing the car at all.

[@Skreamies]

Love the gear selection noise at the beginning!

[@clivewalpole]

Skreamies - Yeah, that wasn’t intentional, and sounded like he forgot to engage 1st gear before revving the engine and attempting to pull away. That clattering noise was the dogs on the 1st/2nd dog ring hitting the dogs on 1st gear. Not good, and causing damage that will eventually allow it to jump out of 1st gear.

[@michaelsummerell8618]

If I'm honest, the Radical was going at somewhat of a slower pace than i'd have expected...

[@rasonline]

Agree. The car can go a lot faster with a quicker driver. They are some obvious paces where he was on the wrong line, late on throttle or braking early.

[@morteparla6926]

Well there is a simple reason for that, the Audi is driven by a professional, seasoned racing driver, the Radical is a privately owned car that is being driven by it's owner, who is not a professional racing driver

[@k.bellingham8335]

@@morteparla6926 Plus it's powered by a ford V6. Ooops, another mistake

[@NickKautz]

The reason is that this driver is taking corners as if he has no downforce, and he's also not leaving corners in the best gear. It's either his 1st time out with the car or he's driving at 6/10 for some other reason.

Straight cut gears. You get the max possible efficiency from the gearbox, but very noisy.

[@FourWheelMotion]

Oh wow! What a car and what a drive. Incredible grip and a very smooth drive. Proof that weight is the enemy. I was surprised that they were straight on it, out of the pits. Was expecting them to warm the tyres and brakes first.

The R8 is a GT3 car- nowhere near road legal so puts the Radicals performance into perspective...

[@owleagle5072]

road legal with slicks?

[@johnd6258]

OWL Eagle yes...road legal, with slicks at the track. And?

[@owleagle5072]

It´s a huge difference between race slicks and street legal tires. So I think this headline "street legal is chasing GT3) is not correct. The Radical is designed as a racecar, has much better power/weight ratio and full slick tires. Still an amazing machine, but not such a big surprise when its as fast as a GT3.

[@sabrinamilagrosdenett5740]

+OWL Eagle oooo9oooo

[@seventysevencats]

It's great to finally hear a video with a good audio. It makes all the difference!

[@staffa]

Unbelievable! I never realised that a Radical is such FAST! Lovely sound by the way!

[@donaldstiles851]

The radical is certainly held back by the limits of it’s tire sizes. Owning one, what I wouldn’t do with another inch or two of tire width!

[@fencer39]

The Grahics in these new games are truly astonishing !

[@jaytroxel3495]

Lol!!!

[@Paganizondaf650]

This is not the road legal version of the RXC Turbo 500. It is race spec with slick tyres and the two pipe race exhaust and racing rear lights from the RXC Turbo GT3

[@utterlybonkersdaddy5299]

Sorry sirs, this IS the road street legal version. You can see it also at top Marques Monaco. I personally know the owner. I’ve been with him... once in you get enchanted... once out you’ll have just one thought: I want one! Also his “personal best” (on slick, obviously, is 1:47.6)

[@carlosmartos7009]

I think @Tripod is right, stock version has the original 7 speed gearbox from Ford which doesn't make this kind of noise.. This one seems to have a 6 speed Xtrac, allthought the max rpm @ 6700 seems correct.

[@mrrolandlawrence]

the video does say "road legal" not that it is the road legal version of the radical. can be different things.

[@Nightstalker321]

Utterly Bonkers Daddy prove it. Post a video of it driving down a busy street............Didn’t think so!

[@Not_Hans]

You realize how bad your argument is right? ... Every thing you just mentioned can be purchased extra from radical when they are building your car. These are hand made to YOUR SPEC they are not mass produced and stored on a lot in an abundance so to say this is NOT a street legal Radical is just silly based on those 3 things you specified you cant drive on the street with slicks how ever that doesn't negate the car being able to be registered and driven on the road with proper tires.

[@synchro505]

He makes it look so easy. Must be a blast to drive this car.

[@jefforymitchell5697]

The fucking gear change at 0:53 is one of the best noises I've ever heard a car make. Thank fuck for straight cut gears.

[@Karibanu]

I'm impressed someone has an R8 GT3 as a trackday car :P Either he wasn't on the limit in this thing or the setup is perfect, lovely car regardless.

[@Trrenik0kb]

it is not necessarily private r8. racing teams also doing track days for practising.

[@baconfister]

Hell of a drive! Thanks for the ride!

[@davejohnson8960]

Arg...the slow climb up to engine revs and speed coming out of the corners. I almost fell asleep. Good thing it has that top end speed to make up for it.

[@Nitwa08]

I'm really enjoying these onboard videos, keep em coming

[@WestCoastSupercarsandClassics]

Great stuff, thanks! So frustrating to see that R8 GT3 slip away due to slower traffic. I think the RXC 500 is a bit faster.

[@utterlybonkersdaddy5299]

West Coast Supercars and Classics it’s 670hp and it’s LOTS faster. That car (with a “gentleman driver”, the owner) did 1:47”6 vs a GT3 pole position of 1:50”...

[@carloleoni4843]

no man that r8 its a lot faster..

[@utterlybonkersdaddy5299]

Carlo Leoni Sorry Carlo but you’re wrong. The R8 is for sure 3 to 5 seconds slower. Recent race in Monza gave a pole position to Blancpain GT3 cars at 1:50. This Radical (driven by a gentleman, not a professional driver) has a best at 1:47.6

[@carloleoni4843]

Utterly Bonkers Daddy mmmm lookin at the race radical didnt even get close to r8..i mean traffic slower em both..but with the free way that r8 flew away..even with a professional driver i dont think that crx could handle that r8..r u sure about the time u wrote???

[@TheBigChad]

I love it when people that buy stuff like this actually race the shit out of it. It doesn’t matter what your skill level is, as long as ur out there man that’s all that matters. Do the things in life that make you happy because you don’t wanna look back when ur 70 and regret not doing shit like this. Even if all you can afford is a beat up Miata, if you wanna go around a track and test yourself and your car then fuck, just do it! Instead of spending $5-10 a day for lunch, start packing one before you go to work. That’s $280ish a month you will have in your pocket so you can afford tires and gas and the cover price for a track day or weekend. Please don’t skip over this comment, this can be applied to anything in life. We only get one shot at this shit so let’s make the most of it

[@NormalShock]

Nice ride there. And thank you/your camera person for setting the spot exposure and doing it to expose for the outside view :D

[@pawebazylewicz1310]

nice! that R8 was amazingly fast

[@K2edg]

Few things, first the RXC isn't being driven properly but yes the R8 is fast....... the main thing is that isn't the proper RXC, if that was the V8 being driven properly the R8 wouldn't see which way it went. This is a better video, so Ricky the passenger races Superbikes and builds Twin Turbo R8's ironicly. watch his reaction to a proper RXC kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5jbiXRpmcqVjbs

[@hangchan6147]

this driver didnt push car the car in corner, you can see the car didnt hit its limit at the turn

[@bayestraat]

Tbh, we don’t know which is the faster car. But the R8 should have a more suited setup and balance. Every driver input is stored and analyzed to find any room for improving deltas. To make things more robust, every mechanical part of the car is easily accessible, adjustable or serviceable. For instance, a GT3 car can be easily derestricted from its BOP specs, such as opening restrictors, rake heights exceeding regulations or removing the skid blocks (not sure if they have) and these cars will be significantly faster around the track. Those are the things that ‘street legal’ cars fall short - for good and economical reasons.
