View Full Version : Motorsport Vision race series - Dust off that Mk1 Clio Cup!

It would seem that a new race series, run by Motorsport Vision, could be heading our way!

Cars must be 10 years old at least. Older Clio's have been earmarked as a suggested car to use amongst quite a few others. I guess that means Valver and Williams models are applicable!

6 race meetings a year, about £400 entry fee, plus there are incentives such as MSV assistance in obtaining race licences etc.

Is this finally a chance to put hard work and skill with the Clio to use and gain fame and fortune?

I would be but to be honest I don't think I'd be a good enough driver :D Plus the resources are not really mine right now to do such a thing. I'd certainly offer my support if anyone did do it though :D

that would be absolutely savage!
cant we find 60people on here to chuck in 50nicker a piece, and each be in the garage to discuss tactics, engine upgrades, and so forth.
Get the two quickest to do the driving, 5-8 experienced mechanics within the other 58, and were laughing.

There would be rules on mods for the cars of course, but I reckon as an even, to see Mk1 Clio's on track in anger would be awesome :)

Got a response from MSV today:

'Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your email. Clio cup cars sound ideal!

Currently the most up to date information is on our website here: www.clubmsv.co.uk/race but I’ll add you to the list of people to keep updated with any progress / news. We should release the regulations and our calendar at some point in the next few weeks.

Regards,

Current limit is 200 bhp/ton (including driver), but it may rise to 250.

i spose i could always fit a kill power chip to drop the bhp drastically lol

Wobba

They may raise the bhp/ton.

With basic weight saving, 938 kg or so, and about 185 at the fly equates to 200 bhp/ton.

A lot of our cars have that or more. Would be a tight squeeze!

Remember all cars will need to be scruitineered and have all the safety kit (seats and belt in dates - FIA) approved cage, autolec and remote extinguisher pull and new extinguishers/in date.....

£1500 +

Not cheap to get a car ready to race...

Plus driver will need approved overalls / helmet / gloves / boots / licence /etc

£750 +

Aye, I know, expensive. But I know some of you are halfway there already!

On top of that there the support needed, parts (I'm sure we can organise a WC fund as a kind of sponsored car for the club), petrol, racing licence as well. Not sure what level of licence is needed yet, national B?

Yes, it will be National B that is required.

Some context for a full season rallying (racing would be the same but probabley more panel damage) i would say all in 10k.

To be competitive....

Regs here:

Download Club MSV Racing Regulations-1.pdf from FileFactory.com (http://www.filefactory.com/file/a157015/n/Club_MSV_Racing_Regulations-1.pdf)

Its on:

Dear Potential Competitors,

I’m pleased to announce that the Club MSV Race Series is now more than just a concept and we can confirm the series will take place in 2010.

Attached is the first publicly available copy of the Club MSV Race Series regulations. Whilst there are still some details which are yet to be confirmed, we do not envisage there to be any drastic changes. We are still undecided on the name but we feel that Club MSV Trackday Trophy summarises the underlying ethos of the series quite well. But we’re still open to suggestions.

The dates for the races themselves are likely to be:

Brands Hatch – 27th or 28th March

Snetterton –26th or 27th June

Cadwell Park –21st or 22nd August

Brands Hatch –23rd or 24th October

Further details regarding the pre-season trackday in February and test day in March will follow early in the new-year with the launch of the Club MSV Racing website. In the meantime I hope you all have a good Christmas (it could be an ideal opportunity to start the hunt for the ideal race car).

See you in 2010.

Kind regards,

Alex Baker
