Ian Cook, the creative force behind Popbangcolour, is internationally acclaimed for his distinctive painting style, which involves using remote-controlled cars, car tires, and toy car wheels as paintbrushes. His innovative approach and passion for cars have led to collaborations with major automotive brands and appearances at prestigious events worldwide.

Unveiled recently at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the "RadAndCool" SR3 XX features a dynamic, hand-painted design that encapsulates the spirit of racing, showcasing 32 circuits around the world that have been involved in the 14 Radical Cup championships.

For the rest of the 2024 Radical Cup UK season every registered driver will receive a unique #ContinuousCar drawing of their Radical, a project that began during the global COVID-19 pandemic whereby Ian would live-stream his drawing to various social media channels and complete within 60 minutes. Joining the live feeds were guests from the automotive industry such as Shmee150, Nicolas Hamilton, Jade Edwards, Colin Turkington, Petrol Ped and Paul O’Neil to name a few.

The individual Radical drawings will be presented to drivers at the annual Night of Champions evening taking place on the final weekend at Brands Hatch.
