The Renault Clio Rally6 offers an affordable and competitive entry point into motorsports. Complying with FR6 regulations, this kit-based solution, compatible with the fifth-generation Clio, allows drivers to compete in various disciplines. Priced at €19,999 (excluding VAT and roll cage), the Rally6 kit transforms a standard Clio into a rally-ready machine.
Renault’s Commitment to Accessible Motorsports
Renault, in partnership with the FFSA (French Federation of Automobile Sport), aims to make motorsports more accessible with the Clio Rally6. This innovative kit-based approach highlights the collaborative efforts of the Viry-Châtillon and Dieppe teams. By utilizing a kit system, Renault reduces the cost of entry while maintaining performance and safety standards.
Transforming Your Clio with the Rally6 Kit
The Rally6 kit builds upon the robust chassis and reliable 1.3-litre TCe engine of the standard fifth-generation Renault Clio. This 140 horsepower engine, paired with a six-speed manual transmission, provides a solid foundation for the Rally6 transformation.
The kit itself includes all the necessary technical and safety components for competition, many of which are derived from the Clio Rally5. A crucial safety requirement is the installation of a homologated roll cage, compatible with Clio Rally4 and Rally5 specifications, by an approved fitter (approximately €2,640 including VAT). The use of road-approved tires further contributes to reduced operating costs.
Expertise and Reliability Behind the Rally6
Developed by experienced technicians, engineers, and mechanics from Viry-Châtillon and Dieppe, the Clio Rally6 benefits from the same rigorous development process as other successful Renault motorsport models like the Clio Rally5, Rally4, Rally3, Cup, and RX. The shared components with the Clio Rally5, rigorously tested in diverse conditions, ensure the kit’s reliability and durability.
Performance and Versatility on Track
The Clio Rally6 boasts up to 150 horsepower and 27 m.kg of torque, providing ample power for various motorsport disciplines. This versatility allows drivers to participate in a range of events, including rallies, hill climbs, and circuit races, optimizing their competition calendar according to their budget and availability. The Clio Rally6 is an ideal platform for aspiring racers aiming to qualify for events like the French Rally Cup and its Finale.
Expanding Horizons in Motorsports
The FR6 regulations, governing the Clio Rally6, encourage participation across various disciplines and potentially in different countries adopting these regulations. This opens up exciting opportunities for drivers seeking a cost-effective and versatile platform to pursue their motorsport ambitions. The Renault Clio Rally6 represents a significant step towards democratizing motorsports, making competitive racing more achievable for a wider range of enthusiasts.
