  • In this video. I'm demonstrating that you dont have to spend big money to go fast. A lot of people seem to think you have to but you actually dont, Budget £8K and you can get an out of the box Renault Clio R.S 200 Cup and you will just have as much of not - MORE FUN.
    Enjoy.

    Great video Sid. Wise words indeed... I've been using a Lotus Exige cup 240 for a year or so on track and it's magnificent BUT it's worth way too much money. While tyres are cheap, it costs too much to insure for track and you just don't need that hassle. I do skid it about because it's brilliant, but if I get it wrong I'll have a horrible day. Not worth it.

    I've got myself a 200 cup in white and it never fails to put a smile on my face. I've only had it round the 8 or 9 months mark I paid over £5.5k for mine. it was going for £6k but knocked some money off it. Good service history the last owner was a car enthusiast and the other owners that had it looked after it to a high standard. Only thing done on it at the time was an exhaust not sure on the make but it sounds well. the only change I've done is that I've changed the car stereo for a USB/bluetooth one as I don't use cd's anymore only for home use anyway. For what it is it's not a shy little motor and the petrol on it isn't that bad if you don't floor it. Also when I got it the last owner put brand new tires on all round which was a good touch as well. My last car was a 206 GTI 180 in blue had that for nearly 10 years last year it died on me and on the clock it did 90k miles. Great video and very true points made.

    I took my Ford Puma 1.7 round Brands a few years back and it showed up some much faster kit. You’re right you don’t need outright power, especially around a short circuit like that, I think it’s more about the feel and balance with the power, chassis, good brakes and nice gearbox...hmm might need to get another Puma!

    I took my daily Fiesta ST to brands last year to do the GP track day, which was amazing by the way, but at the back of your mind is always, do not bin it. The Clio is a fun car to drive, and if it a track day car then some weight loss can make allot of difference. I would also go for a Civic R but it almost impossible to find a good one now due to age.

    So I had a Clio 200 cup and loved it. There's one major issue with them though! The gearboxes... I bought mine on 35k in 2013 and it had just had the gear box replaced under warranty. By the time I sold it at 75k the gear box needed to be replaced again! it was crunching into 2nd and 3rd. Common issue with them unfortunately - same with the 197.

    I had a Megane RS 265 and 275, most fun car i've ever driven. the way everything felt was perfect for me. Then I had a Clio RS Trophy 220, didn't really like it that much. The lack of power and manual transmission bothered me too much. Seating position was also too high and the chassis didn't feel as fun. Now I'm waiting for a new Fk8 Type R, i'm curious if it will beat the Megane in terms of driving enjoyment.

      This myth of French cars is utter tosh. For example, I've had a Citroen C2 VTS, Clio 172 Cup, Clio 200 and an Mégane RS250, I thrashed the pants off of all these cars and absolutely nothing went wrong. They were perfect to own and used no oil. My friends who have had CTRs at the same time as I had these cars, all had niggles of some sorts. The cars that people should bash are actually German. They always claim to be reliable and efficient, but every German whip that I've had has always needed new parts etc. I personally don't rate German cars IMHO

      @2012日本語がわかりません Tell that to my buddy whose Corolla died at 120 000 km (perfectly serviced), and his Avensis which died at about the same km. Then ask how his Renault is doing.
