Still a concept IIRC

Spot on. The torque of the F4R and the lighter weight of the trophy make it more useable.

CTR box is stonking. Renault really missed a trick putting a 5spd in the trophy.

You are paying more tax because you have a more polluting car. Nothing to do with the roads. Get over it or just buy a fucking prius.

14k with 7000 miles? :lol: :lol: :lol: Thats about 3k too expensive. I paid 12.5k with a couple of hundred miles on the clock from a renault dealer.

I used to think that Oli. A couple of years later, 20-odd trackdays under my belt i had a slight moment, that ended up in a seven grand bill. Yes. Ouch. You never think its going to happen to you until it does. Insurers arent stupid. Tyrewalls, armco etc make easily identifyable...

5000 miles and 500 quid off what you could pick a brand new one up for - it will never sell at that price.

Re: tyres All depends on your use, f1s and GSD3s will melt in five minutes on track.
