Thanks, will try to keep the thread up to date :smile: Two days after I've been to TechnoRing, there was an event on Autodrom Saint-Petersburg. As they care about tarmac, they had tried to minimize usage of track itself(however, included a section with the speed trap), the stage was created...

This thread is a bit in the past, but it's getting closer to this moment. We have winter here, and despite ice on lakes is not yet that sick, I've found few possibilities to try the car on slippery track. While 90% of people who participate winter events uses the same ContiIceContact tyres, I...

The last event of the season I've been to was on a local kart track. I thought it would be a huge advantage for me as I do go-karting here at least once a week. I know the track in both directions, every corner and every curb is familiar. Of course I was wrong. Karts are a bit different in...

Yeah, I was a bit scared of the red van too. Throttle was released for an half of second before I realized that it does not cross the track =) We do not have a lot of such events too, because blocking streets for a day is not what everyone in city administration wants to do for racers. So, it...

Been to rally-sprint on public roads of small town near Saint-Petersburg back in october Tarmac was very cold, so new set of Hankook RS-3 was starting to get a grip only by the end of each attempt. Managed to be 7th of 26 in class(there are really fast guys there), but ahead of all other clios.

ContiSportContact

Thanks, mate. Actually, haven't been here for so long. Will try to keep the thread up to date. Some random observations: -Clio RS can do things different than participating in the track days -Stock tyres are generally OK, but do not stand track use. Here is what happened with mine: -There...

My left wheels has met a huge bump on the road before, and now the car is very unstable while braking from higher speeds. Been to the delaer, track rod end was replaced, wheel alignment and braking forces checked, everything seems ok in static. But when I'm braking, front end being loaded and...

Well, the kit appeared to be inconsistent. Taken other box with all the bolts.

For the rear part: do not undo the bolt! The thread is inside of it. For the front, still haven't found the bolts.

Pals, pls help me here. Bought a set of Thule with fixing kit 3091 which should fit 3 door Clio III... But it does not appear to fit my 200. It has two bolts for the rear fixing points, which thread size is much smaller than on original bolt. And it does not have bolts for front points at all...

Been to Ahvenisto race track which is located in Hameenlinna, Finland. Surprisingly, some tracks in Finland are nearer to me than the russian ones. And Ahvenisto is the lovely one, it has 32m elevation change, it is narrow and twisty. I've been here two times before and will defo return again...

Thanks everybody. @Stephen, I use Hero3 White. It captures 1080p with not-so-wide angle. I'd shoot even 720p, but it is fish-eye like, which does not seem to be useful for car videos. Then, I resample video to 720 when adding overlays. 720 seems enough )

Then there was a trackday on the same track. It was raining as usual on most of the trackdays here ) The lap time was awful, I was too slow with early braking and attempts to stay on the gas too early in the corner. Lots of understeer with open throttle and turned wheels at every exit...

For some reason I'm experiencing issues with IMG tag. Let's try once again Seems to work now )

On the second day after buying the car I was on the local track to get more familiar with the car. After Saxo VTS, car feels much more stable, however, it still makes me smile in every corner. The balance is great, so you always able to alter the line with a slight move of the right foot...

Hi, What you will likely not find here: -significant mods -detailing -subwoofers, ampilfiers and other things that do make the car slower What you will likely find here: -Almost stock russian Clio 200 with cup spoiler and some yellow parts(yes, spoiler is yellow too) -Photos and videos from...

Got it, thanks. Maybe, original tow eye is not that bad :d

That is true. But usually, organizers require tow eye to be installed during track time, so I have to drive with it all the day. I defo can live with it, but prefer to have a strap always installed. Actually, the reason I'm asking is that there are a lot of progress threads with tow straps...

Thanks mates! It's hard to tell, actually. On one hand, I heard that it was like 50 Clios a year sold in 2011 and 2012 in Russia. Not so much. On other hand, I know 3 owners and ex-owners directly and few other cars doing track days on local track. And I meet RS cars on my daily route...
