Basic spec Renaultsport Clio Race Series

[Fred@BTM]

but then you'll have to remove the hard pipes and replace the lot = more faff

highly doubt you need it

 

[Tony Hunter]

More for a control fuel series really.

Couldn't you just let them take a sample out of your jerry can, prior to them witnessing putting some in the tank?

Just do like fred says and let people crack on if they want to waste money on fuel that will make very little difference on this spec engine.

 

[Adam G]

^ I was just saying for scrutineering purposes mate.

 

[Chip-mk1]

only needs scutineering for if there is a rule, no rule no problem.

I know, was saying it was easier if they really wanted to check.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Never been ask yet, save £70.

Abs can go so can air con, what do ya think?

 

[Tim.]

What's the minimum number of cars needed to make this a viable option? I see lots of people expressing an interest, which is superb, but as Daniel has already said, expect no more than 20% of those to actually make it to the grid.

Might aswell, then cups can enter also then?

 

[Adam G]

Wondering whether to sell mine and buy a track ready Cup. Thing that's hindering that is that mine's been good to me. Aircon delete I reckon as I've become very attached to mine and know what's been done has been done well.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

I don't think there was any mention of not allowing cups anyway. They are a bit lighter but the no ABS thing can be a disadvantage for new racers. Many tyres get fubar'd from locking brakes at 90mph and not releasing them. For the slight extra weight you get the benefit of not running that risk.

From what I saw of your car, it looks to be a very tidy and well looked after example. Could you cope with seeing it get a bit battered?

 

[Adam G]

It's car park ding city mate. A blind man was reading the panels once. It shines when polished but it's already had it's fair share of abuse and we've got history lol.

When I built my rally car I asked the msa about this, I was told that to get a log book I would need to have one as its an msa rule.

Bloody stupid I know but you may find you need one for a logbook.

(you can't just take the fuel line off the rail either)

Non FIA racing cars don't have a log book like Rally Cars. Don't worry about fuel sampling for French Trophy

Ah I see! Lol! Looked alright from the distance I saw it though!

 

[NorthloopCup]

yes to both tony IMO. That way it would make the racing closer in changeable conditions!! Wet race with abs would be a godsend, wet race and no abs requires an element of skill!

Top stuff! Bloody msa!

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Well I was up until about 2 last night, pricing things up.

I have a car, just needs a cage and in date harness

Are spacers allowed?

 

[msa197]

With the standard calipers can people just not get oversized discs!

If you hadn't gone to Mexico, you could be in at Cadwell.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Huh? what did I miss?

 

[Adam G]

Huh? what did I miss?

There's an opportunity to enter Cadwell this month, if I read Tony's post correctly. If you can get everything in order veryyyy quickly.

Really? Didnt think it would be that soon. Mine just needs a fire extinguisher and cut off switch fitting, oh and to standardise it.

Ah yes, working sadly, love the track though. Would need to get a cage and spacers removed I guess.

He said they would try to accommodate you if possible.

 

[msa197]

If you turned up at Cadwell at the end of the month, with a car in the spec that's been discussed, we would just put in an invitation class and away you go.

Simples.#

Here^^

 

[Nick172Cup]

Hmmm interesting...

Hello credit card!

Lol, ill call you now.

 

[Adam G]

not really if you want it behind 15" wheels.
maybe a few mm, but nothing like enough to be worth the hassle.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Yes you can use spacers.

And yes you could come to Cadwell, but the 'Production' class hasn't and won't be up and running until next year, so you would either run as a normal FT car, or they might allocate an invitation class for you.

But a word of warning, FT will not have a stand alone race (not atm anyway) so we will sharing the grid with the Nippon Challange cars, Skylines, Subaru's etc!!, and some quick Clios .

Could be a baptism of fire tbh, I'd wait for Oulton or Donington.

 

[Cub.]

Lol, ill call you now.

Cough, cough....

 

[Tony Hunter]

Already said standard calipers and discs, plenty good enough.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Actually would love this... but I need to get some track time in got my first ever track day coming up. Is everyone that's interested already good lol?

Everyone's got to start somewhere but at least with trackdays available, you could get used to driving on track and become accustomed to your car's behaviour etc. Everybody gets better, the few that I think are genuinely serious are reasonably experienced but even so, it's a whole new ball game. Being a reasonably quick trackday driver, is still a big step away from being a good racer.
