Coates gears up to race at Croft as custom-built car is unveiled
NORTH YORKSHIRE racing driver Max Coates is gearing up for a weekend to remember at Croft Circuit – with a custom-built car set to be unveiled in…

Yes it’s the exact car...I own it!
I’m not sure what to think about it...tell us more. It looks like a white 5dr and that article says it was designed in homage to their sponsored driver. What engine is it and what spec car is it based on?

It's based on a non rs Clio, I'd assume a 0.9 litre, it couldn't be further from his race car. The dealer had stuck some stickers and badges on it 😂😂
Congrats on the new car, it is certainly unique and a one off by the looks of it. I’m guessing 0.9ltr engine? It’s a shame because they could’ve made it look much more special and closer to the race car, but it does look different enough to stand out a bit. (Shame it’s not an rs though to be even closer to the race car!)
Dealers adding stickers and badges to cars and making them special editions I haven’t seen for many years! They all used to do it!

What happened here then?
Motability banner in the background... maybe it's actually his mum's?
This forum really is the gift that keeps giving at times. Absolutely bizarre! 🤷🏻♂️

Probably works at the dealer and was expecting for people to get wet and ask where we can place the order.
Sadly he has left guys.

If the Guy is happy with a 0.9 litre engine, and a few stickers, that's fine by me. I hope he enjoys it.

Did he have a tantrum or something? I didn't actually see many negative comments about the car, or was some s**t deleted?
That being said, while I know some people like a bit of banter, I'm not sure it's great when people are leaving within a handful of posts. Hardly good for the long term future of the forum.

Well that seems a bit weird. So he posted pictures of his car and then left? Weird mic drop.

I'm going with @imprezaworks suggestion
After having words with Max, stern words. I can confirm it was made with his sponsors at the time, much like the news article @massivewangers posted. It's far from special, it's a base model with a wing and a few stickers.
I can also confirm I'm looking for a new race coach.

Why you looking for a new coach? Just cos he let his sponsor put his name on a car?
I think he's joking
It was a joke, Max is a good mate as well as my coach.

Sooo RenaultClio533 was Max Coates?..
I don't think so, it was a gift to one of his sponsors at the time.
