BUILDING A CLIO 172 CUP TRACK CAR

This video is the story of how a standard Clio 172 Cup became a track day hero...

In 2011, I bought a cheap (too cheap as it turns out!) car off Ebay. I wanted a new project to build into a capable track car and thought I'd found the perfect fix-er-up-er. Not long into ownership however, I hit a major setback that saw the car owing me a lot of cash...

After a shaky start, what I ended up building was a bulletproof track racer, that could hold its own with almost anything it came up against. When I sold it, the new owners successfully raced it in numerous hill climb and time trial events. It certainly redeemed itself and cemented my love of the RenaultSport brand forever.
