    one of the reason I don't want to buy a radical is that I already have access to radicals locally. My friends have them. But I don't have access to open wheel cars.

    The other reason is that the radical is not readily dissembled and imported to china as parts.
    Full car import into china can be a challenge because of stupid regulations

    Yeah, that doesn't make sense, does it ?


    I would recommend a professional racing school. Even if you're not going to race, but just to learn how to drive a formula car. I went to the Russell School myself many years ago (1980). The instructors we had back then were French Canadian. Racing is really a fine art to the French.

    The Bondurant School is also highly recommended.

    You can also try the Indy Racing Experience to get the feel of a big car before buying one.
    I was a Road Racing snob for many years before trying ovals. Ovals are big fun, trust me.

    He went to China and built spec formula cars a few years ago and would be a good source of information and FF2000 cars.
