Promoted: Champions among packed Radical Cup UK Silverstone entry

Close to 40 Radicals are set to tackle the latest round of the Radical Cup UK at Silverstone this weekend with three champions and a new SR1 XXR debuting.

After the Radical Cup UK supported the British Touring Car Championship for its last two weekends of racing, the series is now back in action at a Silverstone MotorSport Vision Racing event.

With championship leader Daryl DeLeon having now stepped up to the BTCC, defending Radical Cup UK champion James Lay will be the favourite for the weekend's triple-header in his Doris Motorsport SR3 RSX.

Lay is currently seven points behind DeLeon, with six wins to DeLeon’s four, but DW Racing’s Ben Caisley will be keen to add to his victory at Brands Hatch. Caisley has had eight other podium finishes, but is currently third in the championship, 48 points behind Lay.

Former Radical Cup Gulf champion, Abdelmajeed Khateeb - who has previously raced in Formula Renault, F3 and A1GP - entered the series this season and was a surprise winner at Oulton Park last time out, having switched camps to the multi-championship-winning Raw Motorsports.

The pair of Radical champions will be joined by Canadian Austin Riley, 2021 Radical Cup Canada and 2022 Radical Cup North America title winner.

This weekend he will be piloting the latest generation SR3 XXR and makes his British debut just two weeks after clinching two podiums on the streets of his hometown Toronto alongside the IndyCar series.

As a Hagerty-sponsored driver, Riley is the first race car driver with autism to win a major championship.
