RenaultSport Trackdays
RenaultSport Announce 2010 Trackdays
Renault has an award-winning, enviable reputation for building the best hot hatches with the new Mégane Renaultsport 250, Clio Renaultsport 200 and Twingo Renaultsport 133. Now owners can explore the limits of their track-bred pocket rockets in safety with Renaultsport’s exclusive 2010 trackday calendar.
The UK accounts for more sales of the French marque’s high-performance Renaultsport models than anywhere else in the world. As a result, the popular Renaultsport trackdays have been running since 2002 in the UK. This year’s trackday calendar, heavily subsidised by Renault, takes in two of the country’s best-known race circuits – Silverstone and Oulton Park, plus there’s the chance to join Renaultsport’s annual trackday foray to foreign shores with a trip to the world-famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium or, for the more time-pressed thrill-seeker, an evening track session at Bedford Autodrome.
Improving driver ability is a crucial element of Renaultsport track days and every circuit will have experienced and trained instructors on hand offering personalised tips to improve car control.
As part of the programme, drivers have the chance to take the wheel of the latest high performance Renaultsport exotica for a few grin-inducing laps with the Twingo Renaultsport 133 Cup, the Clio Renaultsport 200 Cup or the new Mégane Renaultsport 250 Cup. They will also enjoy a “hot” lap in the car from the passenger seat with a qualified instructor at the wheel.
Speaking about the popularity of the trackdays, Phil York, Renault’s Marketing Director said, “Renaultsport trackdays are the ideal way of letting our customers share our passion for Renaultsport, as well as giving them the opportunity to realise the full potential of their cars in a safe and laid-back atmosphere. The tuition provides invaluable experience to improving skill levels.”

RENAULTSPORT REVS UP FOR 2009 TRACKDAY CALENDAR
RenaultSport UK Trackdays Picture of Megane R26.R
Renault has a glowing reputation for building great hot hatches with the Mégane Renaultsport R26.R, new Clio Renaultsport 200 and the Twingo Renaultsport 133. However, if you think they’re good on the road, just imagine how entertaining they are on a track. Now owner’s get the chance to find out how much fun each of the pocket rockets are as Renaultsport announces trackday dates for 2009.
Owners can book their chosen event through the revised Renaultsport website where they’ll be in for a treat with a host of new content and upgraded features covering all aspects of Renaultsport from roadcars to race cars, from track days to brilliant heritage video footage plus a lively forum section.
The UK still accounts for more sales of the French marque’s high-performance Renaultsport models than anywhere else in the world. The popular Renaultsport trackdays have been running since 2002 and this year’s trackday calendar takes in two of the country’s best-known race circuits, including Oulton Park in Cheshire and the picturesque Lincolnshire circuit of Cadwell Park. For the more time-pressed thrill-seeker, there are evening track sessions at Bedford Autodrome.
Motoring Nirvana
Designed by enthusiasts specifically for fellow driving enthusiasts, the trackdays represent motoring nirvana for Renaultsport owners and their cars by providing a friendly and informal, yet safety-conscious environment.
Improving driver ability is an important element of Renaultsport track days. Every circuit has experienced and trained instructors, who are able to offer personalised tips to improve car control. Attendees can bring along a trusted friend to share their car, as second drivers are free.
As part of the programme, drivers can also get behind the wheel of the latest high performance Renaultsport exotica for a few grin-inducing laps with a choice of the Twingo Renaultsport 133, the newly-launched Clio Renaultsport 200 Cup or the Mégane Renaultsport R26.R. They also have the chance to enjoy a “hot” lap in either car from the passenger seat with a qualified instructor at the wheel.
Emphasising Renault’s performance know-how and inventive design at each event will also be two attention-grabbing, pristine two-seaters from Renault UK’s heritage collection: the Renaultsport Spider and the mighty Clio Renaultsport V6 255.
Speaking about the popularity of the Renault trackdays, Emmanuel Bouvier, Marketing Director said, “Renaultsport trackdays are the ideal way of letting our customers share our passion for Renaultsport as well as giving them the opportunity to realise the full potential of their cars in a safe and enthusiastic environment. We’re looking forward to seeing these special events grow even more popular in the months and years ahead.”

A lively arena covering Renaultsport and non-Renaultsport topics, members are always on hand to offer advice and share stories to make the ownership experience more enjoyable.
Mick Moore, Customer Management Director, said, “Our customers are as passionate about the Renaultsport range as we are. It’s great to have the opportunity to offer these fans something extra – not only in the downloads available from the site, but also in terms of the community atmosphere and direct contact with Renaultsport experts for help and advice. No other manufacturer has such a direct link for customers and enthusiasts to talk to one another or to our in-house experts, and we’re very proud of that.”
