That is a bit of a dodgy vid. The bloke in the cup was too busy counting to get a good start, and they were rolling so the mid range of the scoob would be better. The second race the scoob driver was better prepared, but at least the 172 driver wasnt a complete dick lol. Looks like a normal...
So the redlining in first is the cause?
Were you two redlining it most gears on the old boxes? Normally i change at 5000rpm in all gears, even when going for it, but this weekend i was in a particulary naughty mood and was changing at 6500rpm.

If i do get the cup i will be taking off the 172 cup badges on the sides, ill just leave the clio badge on the back. Id like to completely debadge it but the clio badge is attached with pins.
The older saabs (generation before the ones which have just come out) are based on vauxhalls, they are really poor around corners, struggle with 200bhp but they sold some with 250bhp! There is also abbott racing which modifys them.
Its not hard to see why they have dropped though, impratical for a car which normally has 5 seats and a boot, some bad write ups and the mk2 promises to be much much better. I think youd have to have no financial sense to get a mk1 now to be honest, no one would buy it off you!
lol well the official names for the Cup and 172 is the Renault Sport Clio 172. The V6 is also called the Renault Sport Clio V6. Now there is also the Clio Sport range which consists of the dynamique, the dynamique + and the billabong/extreme. So some lesser models are sport models but not the...
I still have to dream of victories, but i had a good go at an Alfa 156 with the factory kit on Saturday and had no problem keeping a fake sierra cossie behind me lol. Cant say i find many VW owners who look like their up for a duel.
So shouldnt you get a badge saying cupsize sport as renault sport arent preparing the car? Does having a fast clio automatically mean its a sport model! No! ;)
Yeah, for some reason the police stopped people from going around the front for a bit so the casino end was packed. It was bloody windy there though so didnt stay as long as i normally would of. Lots of R5s showing off!
I like them a lot, but its only a four seater. Has to rival the big boys of luxury too. Renault were brave, they deserve credit.
I sat in one at Renault Peterborough, was fab.
