Renault create a special car in memory of RenaultSport fan
We love the Clio 197, it's great to see that a mainstream manufacturer has the courage to produce cars with real PH appeal in an age when MPG and green issues are so high on the agenda
The last of the, take a deep breath, Renault Clio RenaultSport 197 F1 Team R27 models has been completed at the RenaultSport factory in Dieppe in Northern France. The R27 had a new 'cup' chassis with stiffer springs and dampers and a lowered ride height. Just 500 cars were produced.
The last car is to be given to a member of the website renaultsport.co.uk called James Brookes who currently drives a Clio 172 Cup. The Brookes family are keen Renault fans with his father Steve working at a Renault dealer and brother Will had a Clio, the Brookes family had planned to buy a 197 F1 for some time.
Will sadly passed away following an accident in September, and friend David Lee approached Renault through the site, and asked if a one off car could be produced for James in memory of his brother. RenaultSport agreed, and offered James the last car produced in a one off colour- Glacier White.
James said 'I am overwhelmed by all the support that has been given to make this happen and would like to say special thanks to all at Renault. In particular, I'd like to say thank you to my friend David who put the idea to Renault in the first place. This is a very special car, built in memory of a very special person and it will be enjoyed as he would have wished'.
The PH team raises its coffee mugs to Renault, James, David and of course to Will.
