The bodywork clothes a high-tensile, laser-cut CDS tubular steel spaceframe, developed in the same way as Radical’s FIA-approved SR series chassis. This multi-piece bodywork comes in a wide palette of colours and is designed to be easily and cost-effectively repaired or replaced. The cockpit is easily accessed by the gullwing doors, part of the most complex body that Radical has ever produced and incorporating both composite and carbon fibre sections. The in-house developed paddleshift system allows full-bore, 50ms seamless upshifts and automatically blips the throttle for clutchless downshifts without the need to heel-and-toe.Ĭooling for the engine and braking systems is directed through cents in the nose and sidepods whilst a GT3-specification rear wing is adjustable to suit different circuit configurations. Featuring paddleshift and an integral Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing differential, gear ratios are quickly and easily changed from the side of the gearbox like current F1 design practice. The V6 drives the rear wheels through an all-new bespoke RPE/Quaife seven-speed transverse gearbox that is low in weight and ensures the overall weight balance remains very close to that of an SR3. For even more performance select the awesome 3.5-litre, twin-turbocharged direct injection EcoBoost V6 engine, delivering 454PS for true hypercar performance whilst retaining all of the drivability, reliability and cost-effective ownership of its Cyclone counterpart. Despite their racing specification the engine and gearbox service intervals are up to 10,000km. A fly-by-wire throttle ensures immediate power and response and the car will meet full Euro 5 emissions compliance for markets across the world. The Ford Cyclone 37 Ti-VCT engine fitted as standard is a 3.7-litre 24-valve V6 unit with twin-independent variable cam timing and sequential multi-port electronic injection, controlled by a bespoke Radical/AER Life engine management system as employed successfully on the SR3 SL roadster. Radical offers two state-of-the-art Ford powerplant options in the RXC road car, and both have been optimised by in-house engine division RPE and engine management partner AER to create a reliable, high-power yet low running cost powertrain. We also cater for the classic Mini our range of gearbox and differential products are available exclusively through Swiftune Engineering.At the heart of every RXC beats a high-performance, low maintenance V6 engine. The QBM2M gearbox comes as standard with a manual sequential gear lever and cable, but can be specified with an air actuator for a paddle shift setup, such as the ones offered by Geartronics. The sequential gearshift is configurable for both FWD and RWD transverse applications. Innovative, custom alloy bellhousing adapter plates allow fitment to a wide variety of popular engines, along with a wide range of available clutch splines. The QBM2M features large, 85mm shaft centres, 6 straight cut, open face, dog engagement gears, and comes complete with a carbon fibre bellhousing cover for weight reduction. The gearbox can be fitted with either a Quaife ATB or Tran-X plate differential, depending on the preference of the driver. Through 2 seasons of use and development within the JCW class, the QBM2M has established itself as a reliable FWD sequential gearbox solution. The QBM2M was initially developed with Mini Challenge to provide a robust sequential transmission for the demands of the latest variant of the BMW Mini Cooper JCW.

Quaife sequential gearboxes and differentials are the transmission solution for the top tier JCW class, giving drivers a touring car experience but at a fraction of the budget. The multi-class structure enables drivers with varying degrees of experience and budget to be part of the Mini Challenge, whilst providing a natural route for progression. The Mini Challenge regularly visits the UK’s top circuits, including Brands Hatch, Donnington, Oulton Park, Silverstone & Snetterton. Running since 2002, it has always enjoyed great grids, colourful cars and close racing. Over the years, the Mini Challenge has built a reputation for affordability, fairness and fun, building on the iconic Mini brand. The Mini Challenge is THE Championship for the new Mini in the UK.
