Took my lady on her first trackday yesterday to Snetterton 300.
We went in my daily, which is a stock Clio 182 with both "cup" upgrade packs. Didnt get overtaken by a single car all day, the Clio was faultless and we were grinning like kids all day.

She absolutely loved it and can't wait to go again.








Dont we look a right pair! haha


She knows shes my #1

 

Looks like you had lots of fun, and the Clio's do make awesome track cars, I had a 172 which was great fun (until it broke lol).

 

Sweet

 

stunning car! im really after a 182 for track days! trying to find 1 all prepped is hard work though :'( make amazing handling track toys

 

Lovely motor, I have a soft spot for them my bro used to have one of these in the same spec it was a wicked little car

 

Glad you enjoyed it

car looks a cracker love the colour

preping my wagon for its first trackday in may cant wait

 

Looks great, did your lovely lady get a drive? Great Cook and up for a cold track day in February boy did good!

 

Haha. I offered her the drive Chris but in her words, too slippery, not her car and too many unpredictable ******** out there lol.
It was damn cold mate, but she loved it. Now all she wants to do is go again. Haha

 

Lol I like the Clio sport. What kind of power do they run standard ? Iv heard they're pretty quick

 

Renault claim 182ps, so approx 180bhp and 1080kg
I think in reality they're about 170/175bhp. But they're a gutsy little motor with a chassis that's absolutely superb. I'd give anything to get my Impreza to handle as good as my cup packed Clio.

 

Looks like the pair of you had a great day liking the Clio on the track, looks cool

 

get yaself booked into Chevron Motorsport Frayz, whatever simon tells you to buy, buy, and what he tells you to sell/ditch, ditch.. and you'll have one of the best handling imprezas around

might cost you a couple of grand though.

 

Lol, sure that's what my Impreza needs Ed, a couple of grand thrown at it. Haha.
I'll talk to Simon

 

Whats speed feel Luke compared to an impreza, I know not as quick but for a small car it must feel pretty fast!

 

As of Sunday in the conditions it was faster than,
Modified RX8s, cooper S's, Mountune Focus ST, TVR Tuscans, modified EVO 8 MR, Astra VXRs, and a 996 GT3.
Straight line speed isn't what the Clio is about. But the ability to carry monsterous corner speeds is where it excels. It's nimble, light and changes direction like a chased rabbit.
The chassis is so balanced you can really take the **** with it.

Like I said, I'd do anything to get my Impreza to drive anywhere near as good as the Clio.
Those Renaultsport boys seriously know how to build a fun car.

 

Looks fantastic. Ive owned 2 in black/gold and I adore em lol but never got the chance to take them on track which was always a regret. Always used to love pissing off other drivers in quicker cars down A and B roads thinking they could lose a little clio

 

Looks like it was fun, although I'd prefer a lightweight rear-wheel drive toy

 

Mission accomplished! Working on getting my other half into a co driver seat for some club man rallying.

Its the unpredictable ******** that keep me off the track, got to be done this year tho!

 

I just try and stay out in front. If they're behind me, they can not about all they like. Lol
