The guys at EVO managed to over shoot the service interval on the Cup by 7000 miles!!!

He also talks about the goodies coming from Renault. He says " I am looking forward to getting my hands on some of those tasty-sounding goodies - especially those good looking sport seats". You could infer from that, that he has seen them.

So have Renault actually produced these seats?? He also said they should be coming out in May!

I think hes just going on the bullsh*t renault came out with when they released the cup, but heres hoping.

Your best bet is to contact R-Sport (formerly known as Radbourne Racing) who Renault have comissioned to manage the Cup extras...

 

[RobFenn]

Oh so thats who r-sport are, they were the only importers of the R5 convertible.

Do they have a website?

WHy not be proper hardcore and spurn the official Renault gizmos? Just get a pair of Cobra or Sparco buckets! You dont see Evo RS owners going to Mitsubishi and saying please spank my arse and overcharge me for a set of official bucket seats do you? They just rip out the standard cloth seats, put them in a skip and put in a set of proper motorsport bucket seats.

Like your thinking Nick !!

Oh you are so right !!

 

[RobFenn]

Well i think its best to wait to see how good the cup seats will be first. Good chance they are a recognised manufacturer of seat already, and just retrimmed.

Anyway, read EVO today too. The interior of the Ferrari 360 was good, all carbonfibre..

"spank my arse"... good! Very good!! Splendid!!

Ive not read this months yet.. is wait for me at home. But I did notice in last months they said their cup badly needed its first service and that theyd noticed an annoying rattle, guessing it was the exhaust heat shield. Think Ive heard that fault somewhere before..

 

[Nick Read]

Thats exactly it though Rob, they will go straight to Sparco or OMP, get them to do the seats, retrim them in RS colours and put another 200 quid on top! Just cut out the middle man. you dont see WRC cars with the car manufacturers name on them do you - they just buy the seats the same as everyone else does, get the driver name stitched on and stick them in.

 

[RobFenn]

Need to get carbon fibre babys!

I also saw in EVO that they have Renault only trackdays, damn, want this Cup NOW!
