Me and 4 pals doing a clio cup 172 " Top Gear " challenge round europe

[Daryld]

Hi all, as said me and 4 friends who have all been petrol heads as long as we can remember have decided to go around Europe next spring in clio 172 cups. We will be doing it in a "Top Gear" style with challenges, track days, etc. along the way. As it stands 3 of us have purchased vehicles, but 2 are still looking. We are going to have some form of budget for mods, although 1 lad is already fully stripped out and painted inside with a set of sparco r333's.

We are new to these forums, but I will hopefully keep posting progress on all the vehicles as they become trip ready! We are keeping a look out on the parts forum all the time too, so will no doubt spk to/meet some of u guys. For now here are acouple of pics

any suggestions for challenges, roads to travel etc. would be appreciated! Thanks

Could do a sort of scavenge hunt along the way. We could suggest things for you to get pictures of and you can post them on here.

 

[Daryld]

Will be a fun trip but a bit of variation on cars wouldn't of hurt lol.

Brilliant idea, Imagine you'll get some looks with 5 of the same car!

That's such a good idea! Be sure to get lots of vids/pics and post them up!

What route have you guys got planned? I did one a couple of years ago in the 182, it'll be amazing!

Make sure all have had a cambelt change.

Give Fred a challenge, see if he can do all 5 cambelts in a day.
