- My first time with the Clio 3 RS on the Nürburgring GP Track (F1 configuration). I had a lot of fun with the Clio a very wet and slippery track and trying to catch up with a 911 GT3, then overtaking it :-) (The final overtaking action is between 12:20 and 13:00).
My Clio was completely stock this time except Akrapovic Evo exhaust. Road tires (Bridgestone Adrenalin RE002) and stock brake pads. Far from ideal for the task but I took the Clio at the last minute because I have a problem with the gearbox in my Lotus Exige.
Nice driving ;-) What do you think about RE002? Dry grip/wet grip/ feeling/ lifetime? i'm interested by these tyres for my car (206 rc)
Road specs are perfect for rainy weather, aren't they ? ;)
Nice vid Taurim
Thanks ! Racing brake pads would have helped a lot ;)
+Taurim (racing pads, even in the wet ?)
Yes, even on the wet I got a bit of pad fading on some braking zones. I had to brake a little sooner on some places like the Dunlop curve, the NGK chicane and the Yokohama S (end of main straight). No problem with the brake liquid as I was using RBF 600.
When you have used semi-slick, this kind of light rain is painful! I'm the driver of the GT3 and I couldn't push...
Rain is good practice, but if your tires are gone, this can be really be dangerous...
Quite frustrating when you have some guys pushing (the 2 guys in front of me were good too!).
But I'm surprised that you have pad fading in those kind of conditions, especially with a "RS cup" version!
Now I understand why you did a cooldown lap!
Thanks for your comment. It was a nice battle and I have to thank the weather for that :) You probably noticed the VERY fast Twingo RS, it is highly tuned and there is a Clio 3 RS engine in it ;) Check his YT channel : ruclips.net/user/yotah1
I took the Clio at the last minute (gearbox problem in my Exige...) with stock brake pads on it. In the past I used CL RC6 pads and it was perfect during the hardest trackdays. Here with the track begining to dry and gaining a little grip as we were driving on it, it was too much for my brake pads in some places and I had to brake a little sooner to avoid problems.
What were the warning lights for near the end?
It was a communication problem between the alternator and the car. Probably the little connector with 1 wire.
