Trophy v 172 Cup video on track at Goodwood

[Tighten My Nuts]

Ahhh, the joys of trackdays...with a little frustration thrown in at the end for good measure. It's nice to see a Trophy in its natural habitat...

4 min clip here - 20mb

Who said Trophy's were the fastest Clios...

 

[172beast]

Sounds like a rate whinny gearbox in the Cup! Good vid though

 

[haitch]

..who needs a trophy lol, great vid Mark

 

[SeanM86]

V.Good video. Sounds like an aeroplane for sumreason lol. Trophy looks well on track

 

[Tucks]

Good work
I see that CUP still flys eh MarK?!

 

[Tighten My Nuts]

That whining noise is the tyres...Yoko A032's. Helped me out through the corners...but on the straights I was still reeling the Trophy in, even after backing off to let Nik get away from me first.

But then he has done only 6k miles and is still tight, whereas I'm knocking on the door of 50k.

 

[Slug172]

wicked vid!

 

[lee_cup]

sweet!

 

[Adam]

haaa.....trophy...who needs one.
nice vid.

 

[172beast]

Ah rate, some good stuff on the rest of that site also :race::race:

 

[RenaultSport]

Great vid!!!

What was the random beeping that can be heard now and then?

 

[Gaz_]

what mods you got?

 

[Aust1n]

lmao @ tvr boy granny shifting

 

[jonnyboy]

just shows that for all the banging on thats done about 182/trophys they are essentially the same as a 172. good skills!

 

[Ali]

Crackin vid...the avons are crackin tyres, we use them too!!

 

[Mondial172]

Meggerman is always tells us the Cup is the fastest. Theres the proof lol ;-)

 

[Tighten My Nuts]

Mods?

Engine wise...ITG panel, and R-sport ECU.
Suspension/brakes...goodridge lines, brembo discs, standard 50k old springs, dampers, and a fresh set of Renault pads.

Not a great deal done to it...and certainly no real (if any) power gains. I think I got one of the better ones from the factory.

 

[patty]

sweet!

Meggerman is always tells us the Cup is the fastest. Theres the proof lol ;-)

[Woodentop]

[Paul J]

Would love to see what happened if you swapped cars.

 

[Gaz_]

any exhaust?

 

[CUPPER]

[Tighten My Nuts]

Nope, standard exhaust with a blowing cracked centre silencer

For those having trouble...I'll see if I can get a smaller version of it hosted too.

 

[gunnergibson]

i'd love to see a williams thrown in there...a good vid but the driving doesnt seem to be exploring the limits of the car/tyres...a bit of a sunday drive.... ;-)

 

[Pootle]

great video mark!!

 

[Martin_172]

lol @ the guy in the tvr, drives like my mum

 

[Nik]

Try the download again if you dont get the whole clip. Unfortunately this is what you get when you pay £5 a month for stupid amounts of webspace.

Roamer is right with the hosting of this site, you get what you pay for

[Dean]

love the 172 cup! like it better than the 182 trophy on looks!

 

[Phill1978]

the only problem with the 172 is a slight lack of steering feel however for some reason the cup seems to have more

 

[Woodentop]
