Renaultsport 2010 Track Day

Renault has an award-winning, 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.

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."
