Evo magazine are doing a feature on the history of Clio and need a couple of owners who have the following:
Clio Renaultsport 172 - phase 1
Clio Renaultsport 182 - either the Cup version or one with the Cup suspension option
Both cars have to be as standard as possible
They are needed...
Jimbo & Steve - there are so many touching messages on here for you both (and on Renaultsport and Pistonheads and wherever else it's now ended up!).
I'm really thrilled that we could sort out the car for you. I wanted to do something special for the last one and what better idea could...
The cars in the test were (in lap time order):
Mitsubishi Colt Black Hawk 1m 31.52
Volvo C30 T5 1m 29.44
Astra VXR 1m 27.89
Leon Cupra 1m 27.78
Corsa VXR 1m 27.75
Golf GTi Edition 30 1m 27.50
Mazda MPS Sport Aero kit 1m 27.03
207 GTi 1m 27.03
Civic Type R 1m 26.97
197 F1 R27 1m 25.51...
For those who have been to the factory and saw the Renaultsports being built would have seen that the Liquid Yellow cars have a special yellow primer and go through the paint shop three times, hence the price.
The C4 site gave the wrong weight, it's 1060kg. The differences between the road and race car are detailed here:

Here are the differences to the standard 197:
Cup suspension (Ride height lowered by 7mm, stiffer springs + 27% at the front and 30% at the rear, more flexible bump-stops, red brake callipers)
17” Anthracite coloured alloy wheels
Renaultsport Recaro Seats
Extra tinted rear windows
60W...
