  1. Who is the driver?
     
  2. You could easily get one re trimmed for a fraction of the cost that Renault will charge.

    Basically just quoting what my "source" said to me when i asked him about it LOL
     
  9. What you think the time will be Jamie ?
     
  10. I think he said high 7.40s or low 7.50s in a previous post Steve
     
  11. That's quick, I thought Jamie said the lap time was a load of bollox
     
  12. Which one?? BBC use more than one :wink:

    The one that was posted is a load of bollocks, My estimation is a rough guess going by the sort of lap times that the current Megane can get round there with some choice modifications
     
  14. i would have thought Renault have put a top driver behind the wheel and not one of us track day lads, surely they would be much quicker?
     
  15. My thoughts exactly, id be putting one of the VLN racers in it who can drive the ring blindfolded and with razor blades wedged under their fingernails

    Eh?


    They have. Where has anyone said its a track day lad?
     
  17. thats cleared that up then

    On that note, I have seen a few Meganes with basic suspension work/tyres and stock power do easy sub 8 mins laps with an experienced "amateur" driver at the wheel
     
  19. i would love to have a few laps, but every time i watch a few videos it scares the bejesus out of me.

  23. Doing alright then.. lol

    Anyone know when they are doing the golden laps?
     
  24. They should hire top driver from rsmegane forum to get sub 7 result :-)

    A laptime has been set, Talks of them doing some hot laps on the 16th as well though
     
  26. That kind of suggests they are very confident at going faster still. Looking forward to seeing the final time. :smile:
     
  27. 250 trophy!?
     
  28. I love the rile you get on this forum, all fun and games boys! Nobody check the time on the ohlins watch? :wink:

    I suspect they will get under 7m50, with a good driver and that suspension and those tyres....

    didnt they say the 265 trophy did under 8 but not officially? And the .R did a quicker time than official too?
     
  29. Yep the R did but on a cooler day
     
  30. Unfortunately I was busy at the time :worried: lol someone had to say it
     
  31. Dan

    Dan

    What time did the .R do?
     
  32. 8:17
     
  33. Dan

    Dan


    No the faster time... (on the cooler day)
     
  34. Around 8 mins Dan, this is why I'm not that impressed, they've had nearly 6 years of new technology with power, better brakes, better suspension, it's bound to beat it .
     
  35. of course its going to beat it. They wouldnt have all the promotion if it only gets 7:59 for example. Its going to be a good lot less.

  37. That looks the nuts with no rear seats and harnesses
     
  38. Yeah, bit like an R26r :wink:
     
  39. It says Safety Car on the back window unless I'm mistaken, this could just be a custom specced interior intended for track use/pace making.
