Rally Clio

[TAITSIE]

First outing for the new Powertune Scotland backed Renault Clio 172 Cup car was on Saturday. After a very long and hard week of work due to a delay at the body shop the car was loaded on to the trailer and travelling south for the Malcolm Wilson Rally based out of Cockermouth. The car was showing great potential in the first two stages however a driveshaft failure on the third stage brought Graeme and Pete's day to a halt. We will be carrying out a programme of development work on this car over the next few months which will enable Powertune to offer some new maps for the Clio 172 & 182's that were not previously available. Watch out for future updates!

Malcolm Wilson stages was one of my favourites when I did rescue or recovery, used to stay with the unit paramedic in Ambleside and make a long weekend of it.
You could generally guarantee an off or two on the whinlatter pass stage!.

may sound daft but has it got more power than the standard 172? Or has it been left as is and just prepped for rally? My brother had a clio that shape and wants to drop a 172 engine in it. I want to try and wedge a megane 225 engine in but he wont let me

The engine is standard spec at the moment but will be used as a base for a remap file .
Had to order a new CWP so waiting for that .
