This year's events, subsidised by Renault, take in three of the UK's best-known race circuits - Silverstone, Brands Hatch and Knockhill - plus, there's the chance to join Renaultsport with a trip to the world-famous Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany or, for the more time-pressed thrill-seeker, evening track sessions at Bedford Autodrome. Renaultsport has been running its popular trackdays since 2002 and improving the driver's ability is a crucial element of the day. At every circuit, experienced and trained instructors will be on hand offering personalised tips to improve car control. As part of the programme, drivers have the chance to take the wheel of the latest high performance Renaultsport exotica for a few grin-inducing laps with the Twingo Renaultsport 133 Cup, the Clio Renaultsport 200 Cup or the Megane Renaultsport 250 Cup. They will also enjoy a "€œhot" lap in the car from the passenger seat with a qualified instructor at the wheel. Speaking about the popularity of the trackdays, Phil York, Renault's Marketing Director said, "€œRenaultsport trackdays are the perfect way of our customers sharing our passion for Renaultsport. This gives them the opportunity to realise the full potential of their cars in a safe and relaxed atmosphere. The tuition provides invaluable experience to improving skill levels."

accessory and merchandise requests. What's
more, both Matt and John, can be contacted direct via phone

current Renaultsport range comprises of the flagship Megane
Renaultsport 250, the Clio Renaultsport 200 and the Twingo Renaultsport

Renaultsport Sales Expert at the dealership, said: "€œWe're really
looking forward to showing customers around the Renaultsport range as we
know they're going to be just as impressed with them as we are...and
the UK's motoring press for that matter. "€œIt
helps having some great driving roads just outside Croydon too, as well
as a race track like Brands Hatch on your doorstep, allowing owners to
experience the full potential of the Renaultsport range and how
impressive they are both on the road and the race track." Renaultsport
Aftersales Expert John said: "€œOur Renaultsport service extends right
from the initial test drive through to caring for your Renaultsport
five, ten, fifteen years from now. All Renaultsport models are
highly-tuned machines requiring that expert touch and genuine Renault
parts so our approved workshop caters for just that." Daniel
Sait, Sales Manager at Renault Croydon, added: "€œAs part of our
celebrations, we're inviting local Renaultsport owners - be it an
original Renaultsport Spider to a brand new Megane Renaultsport 250 -
to drop by the dealership for a free, no appointment, safety check for
their car." For more
