Chris Wilson Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 The truth is you can now buy a V8 Radical SR8 and come within a few seconds of that time, for an absolute fraction of the price of a 962. (Assuming you have nerves of steel, know the place like the back of your hand, and are one of the best pedallers in the land). OK, the track has changed a bit, but still damned impressive for what's basically a kit car. I would rather be in the 962 though, Radicals have done little to inspire me with build quality, in fact they seem to make more money selling bits to fix them than they do selling the cars in the first place I think one won the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power the other year. EDIT: Yes, it did: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/motorsport/10125344/Lap-record-smashed-at-Cholmondeley-Pageant-of-Power.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 they seem to make more money selling bits to fix them than they do selling the cars in the first place They aren't the only people making a killing that way.

T2 MSW Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Thats a serious price tag for a used part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 I guess with nice 962's going for 1.5 million plus Sterling they feel the guy needing spares can lower his pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 surely there are better waste gates at a fraction of the price that can fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 surely there are better waste gates at a fraction of the price that can fit? The two Chris posted look identical fitment, would they not be interchangeable if they're matching rates? (theoretically) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(theoretically) I think the proper 962 wastegates are Inconel, and they last several stints of 24 hour races. Plus, I guess if you have a genuine 962 it's best to keep it pukka. It's all a different world to me though These are not decisions I am ever likely to have to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
