There is info on these cars out there. "Production" figures run between 20-50 cars as assembled, but the body kits were available "over the counter". They were converted in California.

Nick F40 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 I like Pintos, it just was given a bad rep and the motors I see a lot in the grassroots sports car world. That Pacer is sick, that would be a neat model, I would love to drive that in real life...and race it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadRidesByDan Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Manufacturer: Radical 2008 Classes: LMP1(Le Mans Prototype Chassis 1) Chassis: SR10 Engine: Volkswagen - AER Fuel: Diesel Bio fuel Entries: 10 Prediction: DNF (DNS?) Ian Dawson's Radical SR10 has been dissapointing this year in that it is yet to start a race, it failed scrutineering at Sebring and has been troubled ever since. Testing has been very limited. Don't be too amazed if this car does not take the start. However the effort from the small team should be applauded. The greenest racing car to compete in the international arena is set to make its race debut in next month's Sebring 12 Hours in Florida. The British Eco Racing team's Radical SR10 LMP1 prototype will compete on Shell GTL diesel in the American Le Mans Series opener, but the plan is to run on a fuel containing a 50-per-cent-bio component before the end of the season. And that is just one of several green initiatives being pioneered on the Eco Radical. The car uses bodywork components made from 100-per-cent-biodegradable hemp fibre and will run solar panels to power some of its electrical systems. It has been liveried in water-based, rather than petroleum-based, paint and its Dunlop tyres will be re-cycled after use. Eco Racing is the latest venture by veteran sportscar team manager Ian Dawson, whose Taurus team took diesel technology to the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2004. he has spent the past two years developing his Volkswagen Touareg V10 engine (now built by AER) to run on a bio fuel made from the jatropha plant, in conjunction with D1 oils. Dawson said, "We want a car with a low carbon footprint, because that is the way motorsport is heading." We are aiming to make the most economical vehicle, rather than necessarily the fastest car." Dawson hopes that he can persuade the ALMS to allow him to run jatropha-based bio diesel, rather than the spec Shell fuel currently mandated and believes that the environmental credentials of the fuel will sway the organisers. Jatropha has a high yield per hectare and is a non-edible product grown on land unsuitable for food production. The Eco Radical will be driven at Sebring by Harri Toivonen and Ben Collins - former team-mates at Ascari, and historic racer, Simon Wright. Eco Racing intends to do a least three more ALMS races and could race a second car in selected Le Mans Series events in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 You are correct. But it did start and did finish at Laguna Seca. They had two cars there, but the second car did not race. Both cars had some major issues with the fuel air mixture and they couldn't produce any power. The number 10 car liked to spray the crowd with diesel fuel as it went by. The GT2 cars were faster than it through the corners. But it did have quite a bit of speed at the end of the straight. Faster than the Penskes and the Accuras. Once they get the bugs worked out, it should be a pretty fast car. Had a real interesting conversation with the Japanese driver. Was very willing to show off the car.

Nick F40 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) Dangit, I actually knew what this was, WITHOUT Google I must add, but I love the look of this thing and that VW engine! Gotta love the Brits! Hemp Fiber right? or is it one of their solar panels they are using for their electrical components? It does look like cardboard or carpet though or Kevlar You are correct.

Yeah, As in The Netherlands the car-production is not that big, we have a plant that makes Mitsubishi's (NedCar), which made Vovlo's in the beginning. Then we have ofcourse Donkervoort We have Carver; We have Burton; And then ofcourse Spyker; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
