X-172 Cup
Oh my god what an epic...6 hours on the M6:S 
:S - enjoyed the toll road then just after the end of it, it was 5mph all the way to the Stoke turn-off - I usually come off at the Stoke North turnoff but from what I heard on the radio it was closed + I'd had enough...anyway the Car feels good and you can tell it's been looked after, not as sharp as the Cup but not as harsh either, a bit more refined and quieter, feels slower but in gear times especially 1st & 2nd seem quicker and there's definately at least another 500 or so RPM at the sharp end of things, the limiter hasn't kicked in but it was well in the red at over 7000 rpm which is more than Cup ever got taken too but it feels like you need a few more revs to get to the juicy power, where is the rev limiter on these? no torque steer or bad behaviour but I kind of miss that, nice to have air con, nice seats and 6xCD, wheels feel weird having been on wider tracked Turini's but overall very pleased to have another Renaultsport back on the drive + have 3 grand in the bank
