Our first tracktime since pre-lockdown and our good friend Darren was kind enough to let us jump in his Clio 200 Cup so we could compare it on track to our 172. Having owned the Clio 197 before, we were aware of how good the Mk3 Clio Sports are but it has been a while since we've driven one. As the video shows, we were very quickly reminded just how special they are to drive on track.
