BACKGROUND

Radical Sportscars was born 20 years ago with the simple vision of making motor racing more accessible and fun. Now with 2000 light-weight, high powered sportscars sold into a global marketplace, they are the world’s largest manufacturer of purpose-built, club racing cars.

But they are more than this. As well as making superb, British engineered racing cars, they also provide competitive, managed racing experiences that dreams are made of.

Drivers all over the world are able to compete in Track Days and the Radical Championship Series, wheel to wheel, at 180mph, in races of up to 30 cars. “Thrilling” and “incomparable” is what the drivers say!

THE CHALLENGE

Our challenge was to develop a modernised brand that retained some equity from their past but also reflected the exhilaration and unique experience of RACING supercars that can exert 2.5 ‘g’s’ of lateral acceleration on track corners. The new brand needed to be delivered in 6 weeks and had to work across a myriad of channels including exhibition stands, the website, car livery and the Championship/track day events around the world.

THE SOLUTION

To understand what Radical meant to the drivers of these awesome racing cars our creative director went to a Race Day at the Circuit De Jerez, Spain.

This insightful weekend led to the inspiration for the rebrand. The drivers, including Sir Chris Hoy and Jason Kenny (yes, the Olympians), and the Support Team believe that the Radical Racing experience is second to none. Heart pumping, adrenaline fuelled joy!

This thought led us to the brand proposition that ’Nothing Compares’ to the Radical experience. The identity with the ‘R’ racetrack and the red ‘Race line’ reflects Radical’s maverick spirit, and the uncompromising performance and thrill of the ride. The resulting brand feels premium yet authentic.
