Rally facts: debut of Renault Clio Rally5
Renault Clio Rally5 will race for its first competition in the Island in Rali Vinho da Madeira. Driven by Ricardo Gonçalves, the brand with a diamond shape logo is a strong bet in the popularity used in the competition.
With rally5 using a new performance close to the previous R1, this vehicle has a very controlled cost. Nevertheless, it soon became a great model to compete, as it has different drivers competing for many trophies, in ERC and in many countries such as France, Italy, Switzerland or Spain.
Renault Clio rally5 has the Clio RS line and an engine of four cylinders with 1.330 cc. With a Life Racing electronic system, it can reach 6.500 rpm, using 180-horse power and a binary of 300 Nm. The transmission is made through a sequential 5 gear box from Sadev and a self-blocking deferential type ZF. In tarmac, it uses 16 inches rims and the nonadjustable shock absorbers, by Bos Suspension, control the suspension. The minimum weight is 1,080 kg.
