Why Radical ?
Because Greg Smith's love of bikes moved on to fast cars and his involvement with Radical and regular ciclismo training made it a natural fit !
Radical Australia is the Exclusive Distributor for car sales and parts sales in Australia.
Radical Australia was founded in 2006 by three existing Radical Sportscars owners. Each had a corporate and business management background and each shared a passion and desire at that time to optimise the Radical experience both on and off the track.
Working closely with the UK factory, Radical Australia has built a unique service offering. The ethos is to provide a customer-focused service and experience unparalleled within traditional motorsport offerings, akin to the customer focus now provided by all prestige road car manufacturers and lifestyle service providers.
Radical Australia is now the largest importer of race cars into Australia by volume, and arguably the largest managed race team fleet in Australia.
Over 45 Radicals are stored and maintained in Sydney for permanent Arrive & Drive customers. Radical Australia also provide technical support to privateer teams. There are now over 60 cars in Australia with expectations those numbers will multiply as Radical spreads into other States.
Victorian-based race team managers, Greg Murphy Racing, have been appointed as the Victorian agent to support the local owners and work with Radical Australia to develop a State-based Clubman Cup in 2012. Display cars are available for inspection at GMR. Wakefield Park-based race team manager, Navybox School of Motorsport has also been appointed as an agent to support privateers. Expansion plans for Perth in Western Australia and also New Zealand are well in advance.
Based on track at Eastern Creek International Raceway in Sydney, Radical Australia achieved the honour of being awarded Radical Distributor of the Year in 2010.
With eight full-time employees based at Eastern Creek, Radical Australia can provide an end-to-end service for customers who with to avail themselves of a complete Arrive & Drive experience. Owners' cars are stored, maintained and supported by Radical trained technicians in accordance with factory approved procedures. Factory Driver and Workshop Manager, Garth Walden and his team of mechanics ensure all cars are prepped, delivered and, when necessary track tested to optimise safety and performance.
Our Events Manager & Customer Liaison Executive, Maeve Ryan ensures all logistics and customer needs are attended. With 38 events scheduled for the 2011 season, there is always a track day, race school day or race meeting to allow drivers generous track-time.
In 2011 there are two race series. For the first time in Australia a single marque enduro series known as the Radical Australia Cup-mirrored upon the Radical international race series-is being conducted. Commencing in April at Wakefield Park, there are five rounds over five consecutive months covering five different tracks along the East coast of Australia. The enduro series will run under the Shannons Nationals card and be featured on national television. The winner will recieve a fully-funded race seat plus all airfares and accommodation to compete in the Radical European Masters round at Nurburgring in 2012.
A second series known as Radical Clubman Cup will be a NSW based sprint series with nine rounds, including one day and mid-week events.
Various track day formats and race school events are planned throughout the year to appeal and cater to all levels of drivers. From novice to lap record racing drivers, Radical Australia have track events to ensure plenty of track-time.
The Radical Sportscar has proved to be easy to drive with FIA safety features appealing to both the gentlemen drivers and racers alike.
The emergence of the new SR8 V8 model will see those cars being included as a separate class within the Radical Australia Cup in 2012.
