Clio 200 Cup Trackday'ers

[Zed Ed]

I'm considering buying one of these as a trackday car

Would love to hear about people's trackday related experience in the 200 Cup, particularly;

- performance of the car
- parts resilience e.g. brake fade
- parts wear e.g. tyres

And anything else!!

Surely an older model would be a better purchase for a trackday car. What about a 172cup or a 182 trophy.

At least your car wouldnt be depreciating hugely whilst thrashing it to near death.

I bought a new Clio rs200 for exactly this reason. There's two schools of thought and no right or wrong answer.
I had a Clio trophy which I used for track days and found that being an older car it took too much punishment and was worse for wear after a while. Being older meant that everything was less sharper.
Now I am in a newer car everything is stronger and more efficient, the brakes are better and I have the back up of
A warranty.
Sure there's more money at risk but are you going to bend your car really?
And if you buy the car on a pcp over two years you will probably be handing it back and dare I say that then it will
Become someone elses potential problem...
