the corsa eats the straights.. the 200 eats the corners... what was the rant about lol?
Stagecoach Ticket
yeah nothing in at all really not a fan of the vxr series tbh
Nippy white cup
8.47 bgt is nothing to be sniffed at especially with a slight hold up on a fast section of the track where they would have made up a lot of time

There is definitely points where the Clio could over take. I'm guessing the drivers know each other and planned for the Clip to be chasing..

Corsa is quick. Look just after the cones when the corsa boots it. It Does leave the 200 briefly! But having seen other videos of these two cars on track the Clio is way better in the corners, just looks more at home on a track.
Have alot of respect for the VXR cars but just not my cup of tea

the 200 looks miles better in the corners. Might be the driver, but I doubt it. Cornering isn't usually a VXR characteristic. I'm suprised the 200 didn't start clawing back at the vxr when it was getting top end. Very evenly matched though.
On a seperate note, there is a lot of tyre squeel from the 200. Crap tyres as standard? Never really got much tyre squeel with pe2's or r888's when really pushing in mine. I did notice when driving the 200 that the tyres didn't seem great. 200 owners care to share?

That Corsa definately has the legs on the straights, no question. So much for the extra 200 torques huh?
Be also interesting to see the roles reversed, 200 in front OPC/VXR behind........
+ 1 yeah that would be interesting to see how the vaux would get on
Cool vid, good car control from both drivers, looks like they were both pushing it.
I feel it is easier to chase form behind than lead from the front if you dont know the track, but not sure if that was the case, as they were both really pushing on, which must mean they must have some familiarity with the track

I'm surprised the Corsa doesn't seem to be able to pull away all that much on the straights with all the extra torque. The Clio looks far superior in the corners. If they were doing individual timed laps the extra speed the Clio carries would more than make up for the little it loses out on the straights, the Clio has to back off several times because the Corsa doesn't corner as fast!
Corsa's have obviously come a long way since I used to have one in terms of handling! But I don't like the VXR image. The Clio looks race track driver and has the Renaultsport pedigree, the Corsa looks like a car park racer. Good video.

Test drove a corsa vxr before i got my clio and hated everything apart from the looks and the seats feedback through the steering wheel was shocking, clutch felt horribly light, gearbox was devoid of feeling.

so you bought a clio
At least you got the 182. Only issue I had with the 200 was the steering being too light and the tyres. Very capable chassis though. Much more stable than the 1*2sIs it wrong that I actually like the look of the VXR?
Good to see that video, im suprised at how well each car does. Wonder that the corsa is like to drive. My GT is awful, gearbox, clutch, steering rack are a big let down. I know its a bog standard clio basically. Definately want something a bit better built next time. Hoping the Meganne 250 will be of reasonable price in 2 years time.

Corsa vxr is an amazing looking car i actually like it more than the clio
any clio infact, but looks is all it has as far as im concerned.very nice video!
as i saw on the vxr forum and seems to be true,
it'd cost alot less for a vxr to get better handling than a clio turbo/itb'd
clios forever though

Good vid of two cars having a chase,thats all.Corsa lines through some of the bends are awful thats why the Clio seems to catch up,and of course the Corsa will get away down the straights,he's first out the bends.Still,looks not a lot in it anyway.
182cup & 172 racecar
Fifth gear did a test a while ago between a 197 and corsa
Vxr round cadwell both with tiff driving. The Clio thrashed the corsa by over 1.5 seconds I think it was. Over one lap that's a hell of a difference! Diff track than the ring obv but I'm pretty sure the Clio would out handle the corsa whatever the situation

As I said the vid proves nothing,but nothing handles like a Clio we all know that.
It proves that the Clio can outhandle a VXR to gain speed into the straights but the VXR pulls alot harder and better than the Clio but looses time in the corners!
