Here is some video footage of the Radical SR8LM from its recent Nürburgring visit. It must be stressed that this clip is understood not to be the “record” 6:48 lap. According to the comments section on YouTube Michael Vergers, the driver of said record lap, has posted that a video showcasing the wonder time will be available soon.

Until then, make do with this teaser footage and imagine what an experience it would be driving a car like the Radical SR8LM, with its 460bhp 2.8 litre V8, around the Green Hell!

UPDATE: Well that video didn’t last long! Hopefully the official footage will be up soon.

UPDATE 27 August: Footage of the Radical SR8LM’s record attempt has returned to YouTube, courtesy of Ring1.tv. It’s hard to tell from this clip as there is no timing shown, and there are a couple of moments where it appears the footage jumps ahead ever so briefly. Anyway, by my calculations this lap is around 6 minutes 51 seconds. So, again, it appears this is not the 6:48 lap. A bit of a brown trouser understeer moment right at the start of the lap no doubt cost driver Michael Vergers a couple of precious seconds.
