Renault
Sport UK is offering a unique chance for members of the public to compare
themselves against some of the best racing drivers competing in the UK today,
with a track day held in conjunction with the Formula Renault UK and ELF Renault
Clio Winter Cup race meeting at North Yorkshire’s challenging Croft
circuit.
For the
first time ever, owners of Renaultsport cars are invited to take to the same
race track on the same day as Clio Cup racers, who compete in a race version of
the road-going Clio Renaultsport 197. With a degree of paddock access, there may
also be a chance for attendees to ask Renault’s racing drivers for tips on how
to get the best from their car.
This
special event, which takes place on Saturday, 10th November, will see
two races in each championship decide the 2007 winter champions. In response to
Renaultsport community member requests for more track days in the north of
England, Renaultsport is the offering the opportunity to literally follow in
their wheel tracks with a series of track sessions interspersed with the day’s
qualifying and racing action, making it a true Renault
Festival.
In
total, five sessions are scheduled throughout the day with each lasting 20
minutes. Each session at the 2.13-mile circuit costs just £10 per car and
multiple sessions can be booked.
As a
bonus for booking more track time, anyone who books three or more sessions in
advance will receive two race day admission tickets free of charge, making it
the second free Renault motorsport event of the year after the hugely successful
World Series by Renault. Anyone booking less than three sessions will be
required to pay the circuit’s standard admission charge.
All cars
must be silenced to less than 85dba and track officials will strictly enforce
this limit before releasing a car onto the circuit. In addition, all drivers
must attend a mandatory briefing and sign-on before being allowed onto the
circuit.
Croft
offers a fantastic combination of fast straights, hairpin bends and technical
corners that will test every element of your driving and provide exhilarating
thrills. For a map of the circuit and brief directions on how to get there,

To book
your place at this special event, you must contact Croft circuit directly by
