Renault Clio 16V — Twin Ring Motegi / around 2004-02

Renault Clio 16V, Twin Ring Motegi Two months after buying the Renault at the end of December 2003, I took it to a circuit for a let's-see-then. The Clio 16V that was the basis for the 1992 Renault Clio Williams With a roll bar in it and a Devil exhaust, lovely French flavour, a keen little 1600! Out of the pits on lap 1 in my usual way, off we go and disaster on the straight before the tunnel・・・・・ In my usual way I hit the brakes around the 150M board and the car suddenly goes sideways A Porsche in front A Ferrari behind Errrrr, why? Thinking that, I get out of it without spinning and then it dawns on me "No ABS! ｱﾎﾞｰﾝ(´・ｪ・｀)" ((-ω-｡)(｡-ω-))ﾌﾙﾌﾙ The lock-up instantly put flat spots all over the tyres, and a massive vibration. It reminds me of a tractor I once drove in Akita. My braking, completely spoiled by ABS, was a mess after that too. Since then the Renault has never gone to a circuit again. The end.
