NORA World Expedition (NORA) now provides Radical Motorsport race car units that can be rented for use at the Mandalika Circuit in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). The program, in collaboration with the Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA), aims to give all Indonesians the opportunity to experience speed with the Radical Motorsport race car at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit. “We are delighted with this agreement, as since the end of last year, MGPA has been in discussions with Radical about programs specifically for Mandalika in the motorsport field with alternative vehicles,” said Priandhi Satria, MGPA CEO when met on Saturday (18/05/2024). PT NORA is the holder of the Radical Motorsport brand in Indonesia.
Furthermore, Priandhi explained that when PT NORA was appointed by the principal of Radical Motorsport in England to bring in Radical Motorsport race car units, this step was in line with what they wanted in order to provide a different motorsport experience. “Because, in terms of units, the Radical is very sporty to drive, the engine is powerful, the handling is smooth, and the top speed is good. And when the demo unit data was tested, everyone felt happy,” continued Priandhi.
Rental Cost of Radical Motorsport Race Cars at the Mandalika Circuit Ready for Anyone at the Mandalika Circuit If you are interested in trying out this open-wheel racing car, the Mandalika Radical Experience program is divided into two categories: Arrive & Drive and Passenger Ride. “For Arrive & Drive, the participants drive themselves but are accompanied by an instructor, while for Passenger Ride, they sit in the passenger seat,” explained Didit Adipratama, Marketing Director of Radical Motorsport Indonesia (NORA). He mentioned that there will be 6-10 Radical Motorsport units arriving at the Mandalika Circuit, with the provided units being the Radical SN1 XXR and SN3 XXR, both of which can be used for Arrive & Drive and Passenger Ride. Here are the rental prices for the Mandalika Radical Experience: Arrive & Drive starting from Rp 7,499,000 using Radical SR1 XXR for 6 laps Passenger Ride starting from Rp 3,999,000 using Radical SR1 XXR for 4 laps In addition to these rental packages, NORA also offers rental packages using the Radical SR3 XXR, which of course have different prices and terms.

Radical Racing School Program A training program to become a professional racer Another program from PT NORA is the Radical Racing School, similar to the Nissan GT Academy that took place a few years ago, but this one uses Radical race cars. “This program aims for everyone to experience the lifestyle of motorsport. You don’t have to immediately become a racer, but you can start from racing simulators and eventually move on to real racing with the actual car,” said Didit. This Radical Academy program invites anyone who is adept at racing simulators to set their best time on the Radical Racing Simulator. Participants can register at The Elite Showcase event in ICE BSD City which took place on May 18-19, 2024, or there will be another event at PIK Avenue, North Jakarta. Six finalists will be selected to become Radical racers All participants who register will then be selected from 40 drivers with the shortest times to reach the semi-finals. Then, from the top 40 participants, 6 finalists will be chosen for the Grand Final. “Later, the 6 participants will go to Mandalika to try out the actual car,” continued Didit. With the Radical Academy program, he hopes to hold the Radical Cup Indonesia event, which is a race using Radical cars. Because the Radical Cup is already present in 14 different countries around the world, including the United States, Europe, Australia, and even the Philippines. “Our hope is to have the Radical Cup Indonesia, where the best representatives will be sent to the Asia-Pacific level,” said Didit.
