Radicals are very neat racecars on their own merit. FWIW, they are also a steel tube space frame chassis, similar to the current RT, with lots of bodywork and downforce. I can't see that they would be any cheaper to repair after a crash. For my money, big downforce means much higher corner speeds and heavier crashes. Loose a wing on the current RT's and most of us won't know the difference. Loose the nose or barndoor on a Radical and things could go ugly early. Just my 2 cents.
