Radical Cup Australia

The Radical Cup Australia is a national motor racing series for racing the Radical SR3, built by Radical Sportscars. The series is sanctioned by Motorsport Australia, and run by a joint venture of the two Australian importers of Radical cars. ^[1]

History

The current Radical Cup Australia was founded in 2022, but one-make racing for Radical cars in Australia dates back to at least 2011. ^[2]

Cars

Unmodified examples of the Radical SR3 (including most variants from throughout the model's history, and both 1340 and 1500cc engined models) are eligible to compete. ^[3]

Race format

The series is made up of a mixture of sprint (25-minute) and endurance (45 or 50-minute races).

Cars may (optionally) be shared between two drivers; if so, during endurance races there is a driver switch during a race pitstop; during a round featuring sprint races each driver drives two of the four races in the round. ^[3]

Drivers are classified as Pro, Pro-Am or Am based on their age and professional experience in motorsport; there are multiple series trophies awarded, dependent on driver categorisation. ^[3]
