Van der Steur Racing and Funktion Auto Hold Private Test Day

Summit Point, WV (June 13th) - Van der Steur Racing, based in Havre de Grace, MD, held a private test day at Summit Point Motorsports Park to test and tune their brand new Radical SR9.  Along for the ride, and to test their own heavily modified Radical SR3, was Funktion Auto..

Having only recently recieved their SR9, Van der Steur Racing needed to get in some track time before they debut the car at Petit Le Mans in Atlanta, Georgia.  The day was important not only because it provided a great opportunity to get some seat time in, but also because it marked the SR9's arrival in the US.  The Van der Steur Racing SR9 is the first in America and only the third produced by Radical.  The car has been designed to compete in the American Le Mans series, the European Le Mans series, and the classic 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The day couldn't have gone better as both cars performed flawlessly.  It is clear that with the modifications made to their SR3, Funktion Auto has one of the quickest SR3's in the country.  And what of the SR9?  It was blistering fast around the Shenandoah Circuit, exceeding expectations and establishing itself as the next great Radical vehicle.
