- Its the question everyone has been waiting for, which is faster? A Renaultsport Clio 182 or the 197. There's only one way to find out and that's through a drag race!
Mr Adam Christo is a British racing driver, who won the 2008 British Formula Renault Championship, also won the 2009 Star Mazda Championship who is now Mercedes AMG Driver.
It's safe to say that we have a pretty handy driver today, and he has brought down his personal Renaultsport Clio 197.

Well done on the message at the beginning mate 👍
Twat
Who'd have thought a well meaning message 20 months ago would now be complete medical tyranny 😂.
@@peteydynamite8794 a year on and god damn its even worse.. The just drop dead issue is out of hand.. Excess deaths is through the roof.
Yeah well done for spreading fear and lies. Apart from that good clio. Nice one.
*This is what we want to see!*
Not all of us can afford M4's & Porsche's. These are realistic cars that many young enthusiasts can get their hands on.
More of the above mate. 🤙
Completely agree
I have one of the aforementioned cars if things go tits up because of this virus I would have no problem in getting back in a 182 again - wicked cars..
Well said
Actually not, in Mexico it’s almost impossible that a young guy has a car, and it’s even harder to have a hot hatch
Bo hooo..... more realistic for who a 18 year old
The 182 is a legend.
The daddy
@@bertieseggons2015
The Daddy is the Clio 2 RS phase1 172cv of 2000. Try a such easy drag-race in right line vs it with a Clio 2 RS 182 and we'll see...
that launch was epic no automtic shifts no launch control just pure pedal to the metal and wheel spin and the reaching the rpm limiter i love it, that's what brought to the petrolhead world and that's what will keep me in and not some fancy 800+hp launch control super high tech diff ....
Loving the old stuff content. Much more interesting.
Thanks boss!
The Tomorrow Never Dies plug was classic!
😂😂. I couldn’t help myself 😎
Dude thank you so much for an hilarious day, loved making this video, the results were surprising. Stay safe everyone, and untill next time. 👊🏽
No worries mate. Thank you for coming up with the idea. It was mega fun!
We will do more soon 👊🏽
Really surprising? I thought it is sort of a general knowledge that the 182 is quicker than 197 :-)
Adam, is your car completely stock?
@@alexwelsh5943 No I've got a few things on it, but only because it needed replacing or to improve track wear, i've got a toyosport manifold on it, as the previous one cracked, some lowered springs, then the Ferodo Racing pads from the Renault Clio championship which last about 5x longer that the originals and some front camber adjustment to get a few more miles out the front tyres, as I was going through 1 set of front tyres a day at one point. It don't want to put track tyres on it as it defeats the purpose of some of the training I do, and dual control for when I, teaching.
@@AdamChristo Cool, thanks for the detailed reply!
Good old F4R. They don't run right until they have miles on them and the cam timing is spot on.
I have a 182, this video makes me very happy. 👊👊
I have a 172 and this video makes me very happy too jajaja
I'm still working, I'm a courier and we deliver medical and food etc.
I've never seen the motorways and roads as quiet. From a delivering point of view it's awesome but we also have to keep in mind of the present danger.
Stay safe folks
Edit: New subby here 👋🏼
No suprise here. Had a clio 172 years back & that was a rocket. Remember being on the cliosport forum & people having this debate👍 Always knew what the outcome would be😉💪
197: welcome to flat spot
Update: didn’t catch the moment when sid said the 197 is tuned. So - 197 tune: goodbye flat spot **
I had a Clio 172 for a year and swapped it for a 197 F1 edition.... 172 definitely felt quicker all the way through the whole rev range
Ep3 in the mix wouldve been interesting. How about your 182 vs ep3 next.
That sounds like a good idea.
Next time!
Would be a fun race no doubt!
@@SidNorth make sure who ever is driving the Ep3 revs it to 9k not 8k.
You can borrow my ep3 ;)
Manc Car Guy it’s not mapped but it’s not standard 🤣
Knew the 182 would win... Lighter with not alot less power really.. great video Sid 👍
remap them both and i think the 197 would gap it
Not surprised at all. The Clio 182 is such a great car!!!
Man I miss my 182 watching this! Great cars, much as I liked your GT4 cars like this where you can really abuse them and have fun make for great content mate!
U right, i will never sell mine over my golf r....she's a keeper 😃
that was way more decisive than I thought it would be, with the car I didn't expect to win crushing the opposition. good stuff.
Great message at the start, delivered expertly in the correct way.... really important to do. Nice one.
Really not the outcome I expected! Great vid loving the content recent mate stay safe all!👍🏼
Bad boy car. Gotta love the 182
Drag races with normal cars , AT LAST 😍👌👍🏻💪
even though I own a 197 i'll give this a thumbs up
Brilliant as ever Sid - all the best to you - Keep on Keepin’ on bud!👍👍👍👍
Love it, loved it, loved it! More with the 182 please my good man.
Was my first proper hot hatch the 182. Since then I have been really fortunate and owned most of the worlds greatest sports and hypercars. But you know what, I have never forgotten how epic that little lightweight Clio was.
This is so what people like to watch.
My RX8 and Cooper R53 available any time for you to review.👊
Wonderful content as always mate. Enjoyed that. 👍
Well done Sid, got a proper head on your shoulders. Great content as usual
Nice one, this is why I love my 182.... that’s being washed more than driven 😭. Nice message at the beginning, the sooner we listen and get rid of the virus, the sooner we can enjoy our cars again
Keep it up Sid this year 100k subs u jus gotta be consistent
Where the hell is this airport? I have to go there, such wonderful airplanes all around.
Bruntingthorpe.
£120 for 2 hours last time i was there 🏍
@@mrgreen9388 plus a few insurances. which if you're a company most will already have.
Yo sid i kmow this is off topic from your video but what racing sim game do you use the most with your steering wheel.
renaultsport power!!!! Nothing matches with them because don’t forget, they have their own f1 team 💯
So does Ferrari, also they have week engines in f1
Sid, great vid 👍
You really need to 225 that Clio and annihilate the latest hot hatches on the track
I've thought about it a few times, but in the end I only really use it for teaching the weight transfers techniques of going faster around race track, so the data comparison is from my base time lap set during that day. She's more of a work horse and abused every time its on track.
Adam Christo - thank you for the reply. Yes for what you use it for that definitely makes sense 👍
I’m a big fan of fast Renaults. Started out with 5 GT Turbos and a ph1 19 16v Chamade.
Dave Spooney I always wanted a Renault 5 GT turbo as a kid, quarter mile King those things.
You should have released this video before I bought a 197 😂
I come across your channel by accident and already love it....keep it up
In a professional manner. 😂😂
J Richie Absolutely 😂
Cheeky little track battle between these two would be fun to watch
I’ve had a few Renaultsport cars they’re amazing. Recently had a Clio 200, Megane RS 275 Trophy, then a 275 Trophy R, and now a Clio 172 Cup. The cup is a seriously rapid car even compared to the more powerful variants. It’s probably not far off Megane in terms of performance it really is rapid especially across country roads. Defo a car not to be underestimated 💪🏼🚙💨
£1 for £1 they cannot be beaten!!! 👍
EP3 is the best car for the money.
Wicked content! Great budget brands and a great race!
After recently purchasing a MK3 RS 200 and owning a 182 previously there really isn't much noticeable difference in power.. The newer shape seems to handle soo much better, And it seem's to have much better lower down power as well.. I haven't driven a 197.. But to be gapped that badly is strange considering it has more HP and an extra gear.. Something doesn't seem right to me!? Obviously the 182 is lighter but surely the extra bit of weight cant make that much of a difference considering the 197 has the extra HP.. half the 182's don't even dyno at 182hp either.. Especially with that kind of mileage , Seem's strange to gap 3 car lengths to me!? Also I used to get beaten by 172's in my 182.. Almost like it's pot luck with what Clio you buy..
Sick vid bro. Great message at the start as well mate 💯
I just want to thank you Sid for showing me the details in the bush behind you 😂
Just kidding. Love a Clio RS
On a side note I am selling one of those headrest mounts for £75 is anyone is interested. Its been sat in my garage since I closed my channel down. That's a while....
They're a useful bit of kit. I've used it a lot recently, its strong too. can hold two proper cameras on there no problem.
Hi Sid, i am a big fan of you. I really appreciate your RUclips videos especially the C63 video, it's extremely well made.
You are a really confident driver, can you give any advice for me to improve my driving. Driving course is it any good? Or sim racing?
Well done on the message at the start mate, have unsubscribed from a couple of bells still going out on car meets etc ignoring the advice, yes the illness may not affect younger people but it's older relatives you must be mindful of
Great vid
Nice video :) we'd like to see rolling races too to avoid the differences at the start (good or bad start)
Subbed after hearing Driv3r music on the outro
Please make a series out of these 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I had a feeling your car would smoke the newer gen old is gold!
Thanks for the video mate. I'm very close to buying a good used 182...and after seeing it leave the fatter 197 I'm even more convinced. Cheers.
you are a sick driver bro you killing it ur videos with cars are very good keep posting more i am a fan of yours😎😎
Got to be the up there with the top boys in the car themed RUclips
1st llf
2nd sid north- officially gassed
3rd jamie fyd
jamie hall jamie fyd hahahah you’re having a laugh
I've had six 182's, one 172, a stock 197 and a Mégane Engined 197... The 197 has around 185bhp from stock... Not alot of people know that lol.
I think many will know no surprise in that, basically the same engine as 182 so 185 hp is healthy as quoted, the toyota gt86 is quoted at 200 hp and only makes about 170 hp. Megane engined 197.. surely a mk1 Megane ?
@@tedt7991 yes but unfortunately alot of people assume 197 means 197 bhp. Yes it was am R26 engine with an R26 gearbox. Was crap tbh.
Less is more! Great video Sid 👍
Really surprised about that 182 defo not had a tune no sid?🤔
Maybe this Milltek exhaust Sid's 182 has? Over 100mph the engine is fighting against aero drag mostly, not with weight, so 197 should at least start to catch up.
After this whole Corona virus pandemic, would you consider doing an updated review of Clayton Jones's lupo GTI? I see he has some upgrades done, will be interesting to see an update.
Thought this would be the outcome, lighter and your engine is properly run in = speed advantage 👍
So the moral of the story is buy a Clio sport 182 with 166k and smoke out the opposition 🤣👍💭
A very relatable series of videos. Keep it up. And maybe if I live alone I could wear gloves and still go for a drive. ;)
No u can't unfortunately....because of the covids....the covids....we all need a covid party 😃😃😃
Driver 3 music for outro what a throwback!
Respect for the message sid well done , New subscriber
Would love to see a e46 convertible on the channel buddy, they’re amazing cars would be nice to see one on the channel
Love it. That 182 will be a classic. Would love to see a fabia vrs (derv, ew) in a drag race against cars like these. Very different kind of car but all the forums reckon their mid range grunt is impressive.
Would get smoked off the line, heavy and too many gearchanges. Would do well in a rolling race though.
Love a fast french hatchback, I do prefer your 182 bud😍👍
I had a red 172 back in 2002.
Magna Exhaust and KN. Poly bush, eibach springs and koni dampers. Handling Was on rails and quick car back then. Am still a fan too
Only reason it went for was is now 14 years old 😂
Please make more drag content
PLEASE do a drag with an Abarth punto vs something :)
The mighty 182 must be nicely worn in with that mileage
I remember Adam Christo when he was Adam Christodulou and racing Junior Max karting... now that so much water's gone under the bridge, could he let us know what exactly went on with the crankpins ;)
182 the best
Doesn't seem like it's lost any power surprisingly. Put it on a dyno
I have the same Lego Speed Champions Porsche 😂 It's cool!
Ditto
My life is litterally still exactly the same... Still working, still looking after my grandad and still making youtube vids haha
Let me know if you fancy comparing your 182 on my nail Mini Cooper s r53! Be interesting to see how they compare, had a172 years ago and loved it!
U traded in your clio for a mini?
Xtiminator ner I had a clio about 10 years ago now have a mini as a track car/ winter car
Thank god you’ve got a couple vids upcoming 💀
Great vidoe mate, but i was suprised the 182 won because i was thinking in my head surely Renault wouldn't let there newer car be slower than its predecessor but i guess they did haha.
When I say at people that one of my favorite brand is Renault they laugh at me... After that I umiliate em with my 265 cup
Renualts are crap blah blah blah! Don't listen they are amazing.... just enjoy m8 👍
Now throw in a few bends and see what happens!😁
Nice content mate 👍🏻
Cheers bro
Yes sid I like it. My man got dusted 😎
Always been a fan of the 197, just a shame about the gearbox selector issues!
I've had a gear box in both of my training car, but only because they both get completely abused on track.
@@AdamChristo I can imagine they do take a beating with you on track! Other than the V6 (and maybe the Williams) they're definitely my favourite Clio, love the width/shape
Cars With JB ohh yea the V6 was always a bucket list car I wanted, managed t buy one on Gran turismo, sadly that’s a bit as far as I got. Maybe I’ll get one once I’ve got some spare cash.
@@AdamChristo Haha I'm with you on that one - they're appreciating rapidly too so need that income to grow ASAP
Yooo where's that strip? Did u have to pay to use it or is it just a dead concrete area?
The way the airline industry is going, most runways are going to look like this soon enough. 🤣😷
It’s a place called Bruntingthorp, it’s slowly being turned into a huge carpark sadly, but I use it for training all my clients, there’s a layout I use with trail braking corner and opening radius’.
I wonder if my 200 version would keep up? Not so sure given the gap.
Owned both and would pick the 182 every day of the week!!!!
Now try it against a 172 cup?
got one we can borrow?
@@AdamChristo hes got 3 of them
Adam Christo yes for what purpose? Have 3 of them here!
Jason Smith for another video, I’ll drive it if you like so it I’d doesn’t come back with square rear wheels.
Adam Christo sounds like fun I'll message you when we get through this lockdown
Loved it
Yes! good old big zylinders in a small car! Just perfect....
More of these bargain hot hatch videos 👍🏻
That's a well spent 1500 pounds. 😉👏
Please do a professional drag race i really want to know whats 1/4 mile. Time on clio 182
This content 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Some braking distance challenge and rolling race would have been good!
Have you checked out the Peugeot 208 gti sid
That 197 has obviously lost some ponies! Good to see the Clio content! Brilliant track cars as well.. ps should buy my minty mint 200 cup 👍🏎
It’s just the weight difference. 150kg more is a lot
You're very professional Sid...your driving however,....🤔....🤣
Yeah I race in the clio182 championship and confirm there good fun and very capable if abit unreliable
I've owned both and I remember driving each of them after collection. On my favourite corner, I clearly remember not having to brake in the 182 Cup, which was a surprise. I'm afraid I had to touch the brake a bit in the 197. Make of that what you will 🤔.
BRO, HOLY SHIT THE FUCKING DRIV3R SOUNDTRACK!!!!
Well.. That was unexpected.. 😂
