Welcome! Great choice but just remember you can't stomp on the brake pedal if you get in trouble like you can with ABS, EBD etc. At your age I'd get it on track asap because road driving skills won't save you if you push your luck one night!
Don't want to sound all doom and gloom and you could be the next F1 star but you have bypassed the warm hatch phase and gone straight to go
The Clio isn't the fastest thing out there but the Clio does get from 60-100 in about half the time of my stage 1 HDI 206 which has plenty of oomph for a daily and that would annihilate a 1.4 tdci fiesta
God I can go on....
....in short if you have any petrol at all in your veins you'll f**king love the cup!!
