If I manage to book on to the Renault day then I'll stay on Saturday too for some tourist laps. We'll have a chance to meet up then. Looking forward to it.

The calendar is here http://www.renault-sport.com/fr/journees_passion/calendrier.php But although the Nurburgring date's been up for a while, you still can't sign up for it yet. Also, they cryptically write that it will be run along a different format to their other days but don't say...

Yeah, what's with the 17th June trip? I see it's already the longest thread in history. Are you just planning to turn up for tourist laps? Renault France are supposed to be holding a track day on the 17th but it's not bookable yet.

Hmm, that ACS thing is a bit expensive (chf 1150) and Hockenheim is not my favourtie track, but thanks for the tip. It's always good to know what's out there. I'll see how keen I am nearer the time. I'm doing Spa on 26 April, probably Nurburgring on 17th June and am looking at Chenevières on...

I'm in Zurich. Mine's a white 200, but it's sufficiently dirty that you could have mistaken it for LY. Backspin - do you do any track days? I'm looking for options beyond those offered by Renault; Anneau and Dijon probably.

Hadn't thought of that option. I did wonder if there was some sort of boss to mount between the column and the wheel, but then the controls would be out of finger reach. I sometimes need the wipers and indicators even on track days.

Hi everyone, I've got a 200 FF + cup. The steering column is adjustable but even when fully extended the wheel is too far away for track driving. It's fine for on the road. I can't compromise any further with seat adjustments, I need a longer steering column. Anyone attempted this or know if a...

The Contis are one of the best but are also expensive. You get what you pay for I suppose. However, if you're only getting them for 1 trip, anything by one of the major brands would suffice. Here's a recent test from Germany, lower scores are better...

See if it's possible to get a test drive in a 'cupped' car. There's quite a difference and you'll only know how much compromise you can put up with if you try it. I have the cup suspension on mine but there are some bumpy roads near me where I'd have more fun without it. The standard setup is...

Hi all, I live in Switzerland and frequently drive in the mountains in winter. I got my clio200 in May and the dealer confirmed that chains could be used. Plus in the handbook it mentions that you only fit them to the front. I doubt it's different on the 197. It will be tight, but ok...
