Renault- Alpine race series- just dreaming up ideas

Postby eastlmark » Wed Jan 01, 2014 12:01 pm

Was flicking through a book and found this picture from Japan:

How great would a Renault- Alpine all comers race series be. After all, plenty of these cars sitting around doing nothing. Not a hotly contested championship, more of a gentlemans driver and enthusiast event- more about competing than winning. Maybe set the peg at all cars more than 10 years old.... maybe just 3 or 4 races a year so no massive financial stretch. Just dreaming I know.
never thought I would want a list but now find myself needing one just to remind me: Clio V6 230, 5 gt turbo, 5 Gordini turbo, Megane RS 300 Trophy.

That would be great and I would definately come to support/watch.

Nice pic Mark, I take it that Clio V6 is in 4th position behind an A610 and a couple of GTA's? :wink:

Great idea Mark.. Was hoping to see something just like this for Origine RS at Goodwood this year..! With the interest we've had to date, there is no reason to think we wont be able to get similar pictures!! 8)

:lol: think we can just see a GTA bringing up the rear there on the bend in the distance.... no doubt trailing a cloud of steam and oil. :lol:

its not the shortage of cars preventing this from happening, more the shortage of driver/ owner willing to take the plunge and use the cars for the purpose they were designed for.

in the long list of dellboy projects..... he could get it ready pronto and run it in the hscc touring car championship..... put the right driver in it, then it would be worth a good wedge..... once it has had the exposure.... Renault would probably want to buy it back if they saw it out racing again .... Ching Ching :Cheer
