Fiestas don't exist any more, except in a club racing series. To find out more information about Clios, check out www.cliocup.co.uk
Also check out the official site at www.renaultsport.co.uk , although this site is down at the moment. Both sites have details of all the teams involved, but it won't be cheap. |

some guys who own their own team do clios for 30-40 grand a season, while some pay up to 70 000 pounds! Its rather a lot. And if your clio has an itchy roof and you like to roll a lot then just add a couple more grand per big smash.

go for Fiestas - hell of a lot cheaper - I just happen to know a team that would probably do a single race just as a try.

Paul Rivett did Clios with the Stancombe team last year for under £40K. Nearly won the title, too.
I know some people were quoted by some teams at knocking on for £70K but I don't think you'll actually find too many people paying anything like that in the end. More around the £50-55K mark. I assure you, these cars do not cost a lot to run for a year. Those stumping up bigger budgets are paying extra just to be part of a team with a big reputation. It doesn't guarantee success. |

Re: One make championships (Fiesta's & Clio's)
Hi Blade, as you might already now the Fiestas are not racing on their own this year. as for the Clio's chances are you wont get a car, as they are all gone except for mine. I ran it myself last season for about £40k, but as already said the big teams are taking anything up to £100k. If you are looking at getting started in racing then I have the perfect car and series to put it in. I have my championship winning car from 2000 sitting in my garage, not used in 2001. They are currently running them in the super coupe cup, and are now turning out to be race winners. Let me know if interested.
Cheers, doug drmotorsport@msn.com Quote:
