Testing My Clio 200 Track Car at Brands for the First Time

[@phillipwood7272]

Really enjoyed these vids mate! All the bits regarding the cage in the previous vid was very helpful for me and my journey ❤

[@Timooo66]

Steering wheel would be brought back to like new with some foaming cleaner, like ambersil amberclens and a new microfibre cloth. all in about £10, certainly worth a go before it's sent off for a refurb. Nice video too btw, very honest about the abilities of you and the car. It's refreshing to see.

If you haven't got a LSD then get one. Tyres will make a big improvement on track with more grip, then add in a LSD so that you can apply the power you have got on to the track. I have got a Gripper in my 200 and it was the single best modification I have made to it.

[@ChristopherGower]

Great advice! I've got some nearly new MRF's to fit to the car now which will hopefully make a big difference. A diff is not out of the question, but we'll see.

[@blusky6]

Great video Sir, I have a 200 factory cup parked up in the garage. Just need to get in running! This makes me want to get it fixed asap!

[@jaybradley3765]

Try baby wipes on the steering wheel, works wonders.

[@Know3ody]

Love clios 😍 i prefer the 197 front end though 👀

[@nobodyshero200]

Cool

[@benbirch2393]

Just get some wheels with the correct offset or get a set of wheels made with the right offset.

[@ChristopherGower]

Good shout. Do you know what offset people typically run? was doing some research into the X85 cup racer wheels which are 8J.

Another good video 👍 no disrespect but im not to impressed with the clio200 my last 182 (standard road tyres) with similar setup as your 200 managed better times at brands. Hopefully it's a conference thing and more seat time will help. Looking forward to seeing the next session 👍

[@ChristopherGower]

Cheers dude. None taken at all. It's 100% a confidence thing. I should have been getting sub 1 minutes. Personally, I am not overly enamored with the 200 yet. Maybe i'll gel with it in time, but at the moment, I'm still not 100% sold. More seat time planned in August so we will see

[@mrt1392]

Good to hear, there was a 197/200?? Out on that session with me and it was in the corners he pulled away from me most. Looking forward to seeing more on this car 🙂 and hopefully going to get myself back in a weekend/track car soon 🤞

[@mx5jamie]

I love your helmet mate where did you get it from and great video 😁

[@ChristopherGower]

It’s a guy Martin helmet, pinched from my bro who’s into bike racing. AGV K1 HELMET GUY MARTIN. 👌

[@tomhighton120]

What tyres were you using on the Clio ?

[@ChristopherGower]

AD08RS, relatively new as previous owner purchased them last summer. We kept checking pressures throughout the evening. Was running them at about 28-30psi.

[@MartinEkh]

Soo Clio 200 or FN2? :)

[@starletnights1]

So how was it compared to the 182 and Integra? Who got better times?

[@ChristopherGower]

The Integra slapped both - and so it should. 300bhp N/A vs 180bhp at best. The teg had MRF’s and was doing 58’s with plenty of room to improve. I had AD80RS’s and they were awful. The best I did was a 1:05. The 182 broke down on the sighting lap - dead alternator 😂

[@starletnights1]

Ah ok. I am considering changing my 200 for either a 182 or a teg, but I am not really set on any yet. The 200 is so stable near the limit, I am afraid it could only get worse.@@ChristopherGower

[@stuartjames6300]

HI, which cage did you fit please?

[@ChristopherGower]

SW Motorsports. They still sell them. Fairly easy to fit without trim inside. You’d have to cut the rear door cards to fit around the foot plates if you’re going for a clubsport spec. Hope that helps

[@stuartjames6300]

I'd like to retain the door cards if possible, so this sounds like the right cage if it only requires a little bit of trimming. Perfect, thank you for your help.@@ChristopherGower

[@khezransalik9963]
