Borrowed from Chris on Scoobycity.

Video - British made roadlegal (in UK) Radical SR8 smashes the nurburgring record for production cars by more than 20 sec, running the lap in 6:55! The previous record was held by Donkervoort (evo 082). The £60,000 Radical SR8 is in reality a road-l

I wonder what excuse the Germans will have for not accepting this time, since they never accepted the last attempt.

It's "not a road car" is the term they use. OK it's road legal in the UK, but it'd never get TUV approval in Germany.

Lets be honest, this is a race car that has been made road legal.....it's a long way from what most people would call a road car. Most road cars I know come with at least a fan to blow air out, and a hole for a stereo.

...there should almost be a separate record for cars like this.
