After a sumptuous three-course meal the night opened with a review of the season and preview of the 2017 championship calendars (click here to find out more), after which Radical’s customary non-championship awards were presented by the senior management team. Representatives from technical partners Dunlop Motorsport, Anglo-American Oil Company and Grove & Dean Motorsport Insurance then presented the class and overall awards for the Radical SR1 Cup, Challenge Championship and European Masters respectively.
