Radical Motorsport announces an exciting new championship for 2026, as an official support for the Creventic 24H Series.
Where better to experience the Radical SR10 XXR that on legendary circuits across Europe? The thrill of battling wheel-to-wheel with other Radicals provides an adrenaline rush beyond compare, and it has become a draw for both club racers and seasoned professionals alike. Generous track time, bucket-list venues and holiday destinations.
Radical Motorsport has recently announced a multi-year partnership with Creventic, organisers of the 24H Series, to bring Radical’s successful one-make championship format back to mainland Europe. Founded in 2005, Creventic has fast established itself as one of the most professional organising bodies in world motorsport. Built by, and for, keen customer racers, Creventic’s network has grown substantially since its humble beginnings, and continues to do so today, remaining one of the most respected names in the motor racing community.
Radical Motorsport previously enjoyed success on the continent with the Radical European Masters which ran from 2008 to 2018 and visited many of Europe's finest circuits, such as Silverstone, Spa, and Monza. Since then, Radical Motorsport focused on strengthening its core business and expanding its 35-strong dealer network.
As a result, its network of single-make Radical Cup series around the globe has now grown to include 11 national championships, five regional series, and a successful continental championship with the Radical Cup North America — a regular support series to the NTT IndyCar Series, North America's premier open-wheel motor racing series.
The new Radical Cup Europe will compete over five rounds in 2026, starting in Italy and ending in Spain at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, with the remaining fixtures to be announced in the coming months. Each round will cater for owners of Radical’s best-selling SR3, plus a class for the turbocharged SR10 to stretch its legs on some of Europe’s finest circuits.
With two endurance races, practice and qualifying sessions, plus the option to join Creventic’s new race-car-only track days in the days preceding each event, there will be plenty of track time on offer. Off the track, Radical racers and guests will enjoy Creventic’s first-class hospitality lounge and soak in the atmosphere of the paddock. Multi-class Le Mans style racing for a fraction of the price, the on-track competition is matched by the off-track camaraderie.
"After two days testing and racing this torque monster at Sebring, the SR10 performed flawlessly over eight 30-minute sessions. This car is a visceral dream to drive!"
Jim Booth, entrepreneur and racing driver.
If you fancy dipping your toe in the water, Radical Motorsport is running a trial day at Donington Park on 3rd September.
