YOU DONT NEED TO BE RICH TO GO FAST 

“I’m not gonna go out and drift otherwise I’ll be told off” Sideways through Graham Hill Bend on lap 1!

I had exactly the same car a few years ago, such a capable car round the twisties and looks brilliant. Wish id not sold it, but tempted to get one as a track you now they are so reasonably priced

Awesome keep the vids coming Sid, great consistency.

Epic video as always sir, and also very true about the topic of this video👌🏾

Really enjoying your vids recently Sid and totally agree with the Clio Cup. People seem to have forgotten it with all the big horsepower hot-hatch's now around.

Great video Sid. Wise words indeed... I've been using a Lotus Exige cup 240 for a year or so on track and it's magnificent BUT it's worth way too much money. While tyres are cheap, it costs too much to insure for track and you just don't need that hassle. I do skid it about because it's brilliant, but if I get it wrong I'll have a horrible day. Not worth it.

Superb! You're totally right, looks fantastic in grey. Massively underrated cars.

Great video Sid, I currently own a Clio 200 and it’s a right laugh to drive and very predictable handling👍🏻

Top notch car content as always 👍 Love these track videos, so much better than seeing other "racing RU-vidrs" making wrap videos lol

Naturally aspirated engine. NA

I would like to see the full footage of 3:17 camera angle, may you upload that, too? I'd like to see the control and where the car would be going.

These are fantastic for track use and especially with brake and suspension set up.. can’t beat them for the money. I’d say more fun than modern super hatches on track

Exactly, renaultsport know how to make a decent chassis, all about fun with them. I’ve got a 172 cup

I've got myself a 200 cup in white and it never fails to put a smile on my face. I've only had it round the 8 or 9 months mark I paid over £5.5k for mine. it was going for £6k but knocked some money off it. Good service history the last owner was a car enthusiast and the other owners that had it looked after it to a high standard. Only thing done on it at the time was an exhaust not sure on the make but it sounds well. the only change I've done is that I've changed the car stereo for a USB/bluetooth one as I don't use cd's anymore only for home use anyway. For what it is it's not a shy little motor and the petrol on it isn't that bad if you don't floor it. Also when I got it the last owner put brand new tires on all round which was a good touch as well. My last car was a 206 GTI 180 in blue had that for nearly 10 years last year it died on me and on the clock it did 90k miles. Great video and very true points made.

Have the exact car 60 plate..but just white !! Need a track day soon myself! Awesome vid man

Thanks Sid for a proper test of my next car... 😎

Completely agree, I have a highly tuned Megane RS 250 and that keeps up with a lot of the big boys anyway!

I took my daily Fiesta ST to brands last year to do the GP track day, which was amazing by the way, but at the back of your mind is always, do not bin it. The Clio is a fun car to drive, and if it a track day car then some weight loss can make allot of difference. I would also go for a Civic R but it almost impossible to find a good one now due to age.

Really fancying one of these as a daily. What a cool car for the money

Lol! Just as I was considering buying one of these this year.

So true so fun so cool 💪🏻🏎😎

Love this channel

I have a Renault Twingo GT Gordini as my first car. Proper fun, it feels like a go-cart.

awesome video again sid :)

I took my Ford Puma 1.7 round Brands a few years back and it showed up some much faster kit. You’re right you don’t need outright power, especially around a short circuit like that, I think it’s more about the feel and balance with the power, chassis, good brakes and nice gearbox...hmm might need to get another Puma!

Great car for the money, always wanted a Clio RS!

How would you compare it to Fiesta ST? I daily drive a Clio 3 RS now and I absolutely love it. Will be moving to the US for work, so looking for a replacement. Had a chance to test out the Fiesta ST briefly and it felt much less raw and direct and felt less fun.

So I had a Clio 200 cup and loved it. There's one major issue with them though! The gearboxes... I bought mine on 35k in 2013 and it had just had the gear box replaced under warranty. By the time I sold it at 75k the gear box needed to be replaced again! it was crunching into 2nd and 3rd. Common issue with them unfortunately - same with the 197.

Don't need to be rich owning a French car either, the reliability takes care of that for you

I’d really like to see you review the Megane 225

Had an FN2, it was no Clio RS. Great engine/box but missing something. There’s never been a bad Renault RS.

Powering through understeer is quiet satisfying

Awesome video,such true words! Brands is my local track and cars like that often dominate around there 👍🏻

My brother had one of these and put a new exhaust and it sounded amazing and was so quick, but really bad on fuel😂😂

Wicked little car, R26 or rs 250 soon?

Try the clio 182 trophy it is sublime or even the latest 208 gti BPS. French know how to make good track hot hatchs

Hot hatches are always the most fun and they are great daily cars as well.

I had a Megane RS 265 and 275, most fun car i've ever driven. the way everything felt was perfect for me. Then I had a Clio RS Trophy 220, didn't really like it that much. The lack of power and manual transmission bothered me too much. Seating position was also too high and the chassis didn't feel as fun. Now I'm waiting for a new Fk8 Type R, i'm curious if it will beat the Megane in terms of driving enjoyment.

Did 35k in a Clio 200 (The Mk3 with Cup Chassis) and they're a great little car but...get a Megane 250 for similar money and the chassis is just as good, it also has a locker and it's in another league as far as performance goes...+ you can map it (and actually get more (a lot) power unlike the Clio)

how much does it cost to bring your car there?

Damn......was expecting some drifts at the end....just cut back to pits...

Very enjoyed your Video, but I went for the Suzuki Swift Sport instead of GT 86, because of my Kids.

All fellow mk3 cliosport owners are probably wincing at how quick you shift for the exact reason you said, such an easy box to blow up 💣💣💣 😂

Clio looks well in that grey

Hey Sid about to buy a fiesta black edition yay or nay

I’ve always wanted on of these Clio Rs

We need a how to drift and hoon a fwd car from sid 🙏🏽🙏🏽

For a fraction of the price of the clio a 206 Gti 180's a good track car aswell. FWD drifting!

If you ever get to Italy, maybe on the Andria International racetrack I'll happily lend you my corsa e OPC. Comes with a lsd from. Factory. Would love to hear your opinion on it on the track xD

Prefer the extra 80bhp from my mapped R26 meg, plus the all important lsd, not to mention the recaro;s as std for less than £5000 these days , nice vid tho Sid , oh and mine has never missed a beat in 5 yrs …….Sid trust me you need to test one.....

I bought my skyline for 8 grand how can someone say you need to be loaded to track a car....

I had one of these a couple of years back in alien green there good little cars but you really have to keep them rite up there in the rev range to get the best out of them .

Meglio is the way to go!

Looks like a mix between a toyota Corolla and suzuki swift sorta

What watch you got sid

Can you do a review on the subaru brz

I have a 197 i didnt think i would like it untill i drove it

🔥🔥🔥

grooved brake discs are not standard, that car has them

Sick video as always , I would love a hot hatch but insurance is impossible in my area

Clio 182 FTW!!!

Storm grey daaaam

Cool video buddy, I'm really torn between a Clio 182/Mégane R26 and Clio 197...

But if you want to in style you sorta gotta be 😉

But you do need to be rich(er) to go Safe! ;)

The s2000 at 0:38 omg haha

HI mate, really strange this. Im currently choosing between a ST-2 and a RS200, what would you recommend? I have £9000 to spend

Clio 200 Or EP3 / FN2 ??

Wish RU-vid would have laughing reacts

👍🏽

I'm pretty sure those disks aren't stock 🤣

Guess that depends on your definition of fast. Should say "you dont need to be rich to have fun".

Nice one you look like a microphone in that helmet.

Nicole Papa

I'm 27 years old not 16. Plus it doesn't fit a rottweiler in it.

The best Clio...except for the Williams Clio.

Best car ever!

Shame it was wet this car shines in the dry.

Audi S4 2.7T

this or fiesta st?

Budget 8k that is still a lot of money

I don't have the back spoiler 😿

That Swift that went past you was the new #SonicracingUK race car for 2019 have a look: facebook.com/sonicracinguk Come say hi next time dude. Cheers

Did this dood really just say normally aspirated

Nic3 m8

Why not get a e46 330 100 times funnier drive and a better car idk the price in uk but in sweden they go for like 3500-4000 euro with decent miles.

even cheaper get an old saxo vts for half the price and strip it out

Rather buy an ep3 civic type r at least you get reliability

Claims to be faster than the big boys, but gets overtaken by an MX5 👀😂

Or save a further £6k and buy a decent ep3 type r for £2k. I'd really like to see you drive an ep3 type r in one of your videos, do you have any chavvy friends with one? 😂

Weird flex but okay ..

He thinks a Renault Clio is fast 🤦‍♂️

This bloke is taking crap . Money is everything.

That helmet 😂😂😂😂
