Peterborough, UK – 2025: Radical Motorsport [Radical], the world-renowned British race car manufacturer, is proud to announce the production of its 3,000th race car on the company’s 28th anniversary. This remarkable milestone underscores Radical’s commitment and passion for motorsport that has driven the company for three decades.
The 3,000th car, a stunning example of Radical’s iconic SR3, rolled off the production line at the company’s Peterborough headquarters ready for delivery to long-term Radical customer and Radical Cup UK racer, John Hewitt. To mark this special occasion, the vehicle features a unique one-off chassis, powder-coated in bronze, with matching bronze wheels and decals, celebrating Radical’s racing heritage.
Founded in 1997, Radical Motorsport has revolutionised the motorsport industry by making high-performance racing accessible to enthusiasts and professionals alike. From grassroots racing to international championships, Radical has become synonymous with adrenaline-pumping performance and exceptional value. Now represented in over 20 countries by a 30+ strong dealer-network, it also supports 14 single-make Radical Cup championships around the world.
Despite a turbulent landscape for the UK automotive sector, Radical has achieved sustained profitability, growing both its domestic and international presence. While the broader industry faces challenges from declining production volumes and economic uncertainty, Radical has bucked the trend by focusing on niche markets, customer engagement, and global motorsport programmes.
“Reaching the 3,000th car milestone is a testament to the dedication and talent of our team,” said Dan Redpath, Chief Commercial Officer of Radical Motorsport. “It’s a proud moment not only for Radical but also for our customers and fans who have supported us through this incredible journey. Our success demonstrates that by focusing on what we do best – delivering world-class race cars and unrivalled customer experiences – we can thrive even in challenging times.”
Fittingly, this milestone vehicle is being delivered to a UK customer, highlighting Radical’s strong domestic ties and commitment to its local racing community. The date of 28th January marks 28 years exactly since the company was founded, ahead of debuting the first Radical model, the 1100 Clubsport, in April of that year [1997] at Brands Hatch. In just two years, there were enough Radical customers to fill an entire grid, and Radical racing as we know it today began.
