PLR News: Week of Track Days

A few weeks ago PLR Motorsport was on the road for a week of Track Days with one of our customers who owns the Radical SR3 SL. We had 3 stops to make in the week, Monday Silverstone, Thursday Brands Hatch, Saturday Goodwood. We were scheduled for Dunsfold (Top Gear Test Track) but due to the Olympics it was cancelled.

We arrived early on Monday morning at Silverstone to get set-up and ready for the day. The car had been softened a little since the last time we were at Silverstone so we were not sure if are customer would be happy with the changes. He went out for his first session to get settled in and reported back he liked how the car was and didn’t want anything changing.

Throughout all the sessions the Radical ran perfectly, we were checking the telemetry each time are customer came in and all was reading fine. The day was good we had one happy customer and a car working to its fullest. Next up for us was a re-prep of the car and to be ready for Thursday.

Brands Hatch was a hot day hotter then the Monday back at Silverstone and the first time using the car on such a hot track, thanks to the good old British weather. We had the car noise tested in the morning and passed with a 95db reading the limit was 98 for the day. We had one last check of the car before sending our customer on his way for his first time round Brands Hatch in the Radical.

There was plenty of variety out on track at Brands from Ford Fiestas to Caterhams, Fun Cup cars to high performance road cars and everything in between. We were on the Indy circuit so with all the cars about there was plenty of traffic and finding gaps was hard for are customer to push the Radical but he did find a few.

The Radical ran perfectly once again like at Silverstone, we have only had the SR3 develop a problem once at Snetterton but since then it was run with no sings of stopping. After Brands our next destination was Goodwood Circuit, we had Friday at the circuit to do a re-prep on the car then Saturday we were out running. We have more events and updates planned soon so check back often.
