It IS a racing car, infact a le mans racing car with lights and indicators, its not a road car.
Its a road legal full blown racing car.

If you are referring to my car, then I will be using it to drive to work in.
It is a fully road legal car, I have been to the shops in it, to a christening, and I take it out at weekends for a drive with the missus.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

It drove from UK to the Ring
Drove off the ferry without scrubbing (claimed, although im not sure i believe that one )
Has lights, MOT, tax, insurance, its road legal, whatever anyone says. End of.
Racing cars do not have tax, insurance, and MOT's. They wouldn't pass the MOT for starters

i agree with cosmo. i couldn't possibly take it to work as it wouldn't get over the 3 speedbumps i have to get over...
that's the top gear rule i thought? you can't tell me that radical will get over a speedbump.

The full write up is in EVO this month, I presume you read it too
The Radical has done the ring twice, previously the German discounted the time as it had not gone through an IVA test (I think thats what it's called)
So Radical went back, increased the ride height, fitted different tyres and did it again, quicker! It got over all the speedbumps on the way and whilst getting off the ferry.
It's taxed, MOT'd and they drove it all the way there so it is aroad car, an extreme road car but every way you look at it....it's still a road car at the end of the day!

I know it is road legal, i'm not saying it isn't BUT it is actually very near to the real Le Mans radical car that competes in the Le Mans.
