Thanks guys. I'll do a more formal intro of how I ended up getting myself another 172.
I recently returned from Spain where I did a track experience day in a Formula Renault. Loved it and came back wanting more! I don't feel it, but I'm knocking on 40 now, so maybe the itch is a midlife crisis...whatever.
Besides an annual trip with a mate to the Nürburgring, that's my calendar. Of late, I have been feeling that I am tempting fate going there in my daily. (Year by year this usually changes)
The decision was therefore made to buy a car just for track days and to really buy into it, see if I love it as much as I did in my early 20's. I still have photos of my last track car/daily back in 2009 here!
Anyway, I digress.
I had a red clio 172 ph2 some years ago. I'll have to dig out some photos, not on my phone. I loved it, I can't remember why I sold it even!
When I was deciding that I was going to get a track car, it was the only car I set my sights on, they're just so lightweight, mixed with cheapish reliableish fun!
So I did just that, I have bought a little Clio 172 Cup, it's pretty much sorted.
I need to do a few things to make it my own, but I have got my first track day booked for 03 July 2026 at Castle Combe Circuit, the PH own event. IS ANYONE ELSE GOING?
The car might be known by some of you potentially, I have a photo of it from Brands here. (Not in my ownership, never been)
Would be good to meet some like minded people, not many of my mates are into cars to the same degree or have the inclination to do track days.
Cheers!

I don’t but it’s nice to see another Iceberg Cup on here 👋
Thanks mate, I don't think I've seen many other icebergs myself.
