In Slovenia there is a guy with rally Clio doing this anywhere he can...or can't. Mitja Slejko, one crazy guy...and he gets away with this driving most of the time without rolling..
I also mentioned him here:

This was in Ustikolina, near Gorazde, and of course you can drive here too...it is a public road :-) for real racing you will need at least a rollcage...
I just realised it's been full four years with my iceburg 172. Now it is one serious relationship...and we are thinking about next step...some amateur racing maybe. Just one pic from hillclimb race track last week, I was just a specatator on the rush to my spectator place but I got one nice...
Friend of mine just bought one and took it for a first drive...amazing car. It is in valencia orange, and no need to say it is the first one in our country....so it draws a lot of attention. Will post some pics these days...
Well, in that case...I'm in for a trade... :)
I'm really glad that you came here to give us the exclusive info, and you have all my respect for this amazing car...

I don't understand your question for trading on last page? I just started the thread to present your awesome project to the people in UK....
Found this, the story how those BTCC Lagunas came to Serbia. Some of the info were a total suprise for me too.

Yes, the wheels with driveshafts and central locking nuts are from Laguna ST. In brief, this was the donor car for this project:
There was the video from the first race of the Clio...I'l post it when I find it.
Here is few pics of project from Serbia. Engine, suspension and almost all of the rest mechanics is used from Renault Laguna ST. There is still more work to go, they say for now it weights about 850 kg. Engine produces 315 hp.
Great project and some nice work here. Also reminded me of a project from Serbia, althought it is on totaly oposite direction. They hope to get around 1.200 bhp, engine was developed in U.K.
