I have one of these and was wondering how far the Reno would be behind the mighty Scoob, off the lights and round a track???

As far as I am aware the 172, owned by Wicksy from the cliosport forum, was completely standard!

Andy-watched the clip against the P1's.A tad more power and the Clio would have had at least one of them as it was taking much better lines and seem to be more track aware than the other 2.

Raced my P1 on some storming back roads using in the Cambridge area for road testing against two different 172s, both i believe to be lightly modded. Danny172 certainly knows how to drive and would probably comment that my P1 (alcons on it) was picking when and how to nail him every time, i had a massive traction and braking advantage plus more power.

Great cheap car though the 172, just not in P1 territory at all.

I have a CUP now, and find it great fun. It is not a flawless car, gear change and seats are below par, but it handles very well, and acceleration is more than respectable, as shown by my first AP22 runs yesterday.

The standard 172 has ABS brakes, which is a GOOD thing for road driving, mine hasn't, which demands a lot of respect.

Good fun though.

I don't think you can compare the two on a single platform - both very able cars, and the Clio Cup at a shade over £10k would probably be a cool car for the track ?

I'll tell you after Mallory on 16th, Jon!

Looks like a cracking car for the money but was only gaining under braking and by taking better lines. A decent driver makes a helluva difference. On the straights it was getting toasted.

For the same money, or thereabouts you could have had a Jap Import Integra Type R (racing) ?

Yep we creamed Danny in the yellow 172 and that other silver 172 trying to look like the V6.
