3rd Place Finish at Autobahn

Round 3 of the Radical Cup Canada series at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois is in the books. The best we could manage in the #39 Camp Ooch Radical SR3 was 3rd place. We started near the back of the grid after failing to get a clean lap in qualifying. We tried to play it safe at the start, but nearly got run off the road by an SR8 and collectively lost a few places. After making two passes, we got stuck behind the same car, with its ~230 hp advantage. A fierce battle ensued, with the driver slamming the door at points, but we managed to get a run through a fast sequence from the right hander at turn 13 after the jump to set up a pass into 16. We then chased down the leading pack ahead, putting in a sequence of the fastest laps in the race among our competitors before running into self-induced brake issues and slowing down dramatically to finish in 3rd place.
