As international prototype sportscar racing experiences a renaissance with manufacturers flocking to IMSA and WEC, Radical Motorsports offers drivers of all ages a prototype pathway from track days and grassroots racing to international competition. This year’s Le Mans LMP2 Pro-Am class winner George Kurtz is one such driver who learnt his craft in Radicals at the country club, before progressing to the Blue Marble Radical Cup in his quest to race at La Sarthe. Former European Le Mans Series LMP3 champ Jon Falb is another to use Radical as a stepping-stone, while a host of young-guns have already proved the point with Cristian Weir and Jordan Missig the latest to rocket up through the USF Pro (formerly Road to Indy) ladder. Canada’s own Austin Riley is another superstar in the making. Having won FEL’s Radical Cup Canada in 2021, Austin became the 2022 Blue Marble Radical Cup North America Outright Champion, earning him a factory supported drive in the Hagerty Radical Cup United Kingdom at Silverstone later this month. For 2023 Austin has stepped up from Pro 1340 (green highlights) to the more powerful Pro 1500 class (red). Both use Radical’s highly popular SR3 chassis with different capacity engines. The third class, Platinum (yellow), will feature one of the fastest cars of the weekend, the 425 bhp, 380lb-ft turbocharged Radical SR10. Four drivers are representing Canada across this high speed, high horsepower field, rekindling the Can-Am days of old.
