Few photos below from this years season. It's the first X85 to be run in British Endurance Racing and as far as we can find out the most succesful X85 there is with class win at the Britcar/Silverstone 24 hour (1st in Class, 16th overall out of 51 starters) and the highest points scorers in Britcar Productions.
The car was built for Clio Cup and ran four races in the Clio Cup Championship, it was damaged at Donnington and repaired with a new shell and a few other bits. We then purchased it and over the next 6 months pulled it apart and built it as an endurance racer. Taking a car designed for 24 minute races and making it capable of 24 hour races is a pretty challenging thing but we achieved it on budget and with a 100% Race Finish record.
Breif spec is:
Engine: Renault F4R-RS, I4, 16v, 1,998cc. 205bhp/215bhp, BPM modified induction and breather systems, BPM specific cam shaft profiles.
Electronics Package: Magneti Marelli Motorsport SRT ECU with Dash Display, Data Logger and Mil-Spec wiring looms throughout.
Transmission: Sadev 6 Speed Sequential Gearbox, Flat Up Shift, Modified by BPM for endurance use with oil cooling. BPM Paddle Clutch, Renault Sport Designed bell housing.
Brakes: Front: Brembo 4 Piston Monoblock Calipers with 312mm Discs, Rear: Single piston calipers with 300mm discs. Performance Friction BPM spec brake pads. c**kpit adjustable brake bias.
Shell: 2007/2008 Clio 197 Cup with multi point Matter roll cage, seam welded in high load areas,
Suspension: Front: Height adjustable spring platforms front with Bilstein damper inserts and H&R springs. Rear: Bilstein coil over dampers with H&R springs. Adjustable anti-roll bar drop links, Spherical bearing top mounts.
Misc: Race Technology DL1 GPS Logger, Sabelt Fire Supresion System, ATL Dry Break Fueling, Drive Data onboard Video, Driver water supply, 120L Fuel Capacity via BPM Twin Tank fuel system, AutoTel Car/Pit Radio Communications System.

And what it looks like after completing a 24 hour race:
Feel free to come and see it racing next year. Ask for me and I'll show you round the car in person.
