Radical Sportscars RXC, Handbook, Page: 29 / 44

Once you are on the road/track and up to speed,
then it is just a matter of accelerating and pulling
the right-hand paddle.
A very slight delay will be felt as the engine ignition
is cut and the system selects the next gear.
CHANGING TO A LOWER GEAR
When changing down the gearbox, simply brake
where you need to and operate the left-hand
paddle. The Radical RXC has a throttle
autoblipper function fitted as standard, so the
system will blip the throttle for you and select the
gear. When changing down from second to first,
it is recommended to use the clutch.
STOPPING
Neutral can only be selected from first gear and
when the car is stationary change all the way
down to first gear and pull the left-hand paddle
with the clutch depressed.
NOTE: It is recommended that gearchanges are
not made while experiencing wheelspin, as this
can damage the gearbox. Select reverse only
when stationary.
AFTER DRIVING
Following a prolonged drive on the road and
always after using your RXC on-track, allow the
engine to idle for approximately 5 minutes, so that
the engine can cool down whilst being lubricated.
This will help ensure the long-life and continuing
reliability of your car, including the advanced twin
turbochargers fitted to the 3.5-litre RXC turbo
variant.
