✦ Brought China a new and exciting one-make race series which only requires a reasonable budget.

Introduction
New Clio Cup. Faithfully derived from the production version and designed for single-brand track racing formulas, this version of New Clio is efficient, fun to drive and cost-effective; the new Clio Cup offers an unrivaled price-to-performance ratio in the compact sports hatchback market.
Background of the Clio
With over 750 units sold since 2001, Clio Cup is the only entry-level sports hatchback to have been met with worldwide acclaim. The wide range of usages of Clio’s parts proved that Renault Sports’ technical department has the ability to provide the most cost effective package for customers. The chassis, engines, suspensions, power-assisted braking system and brakes are all taken from the production mould. After some simple adjustments, these parts will be good #t for the racing version of the Clio Cup car.

New Clio Cup made its track debut in 2006 in three national championships in Germany, Spain and Italy. In 2009, RST introduced the Mk.II version of the Clio Cup racer and it is running in not less than 6 National Championships making it one of the most popular one make car series in the world.
