Clio R3 Rally Cars

[Addicted]

Weirdly enough I was listening to some really dirty dubstep and this popped up on my recommended, I guess they go hand in hand.



The starting sound is the best I think, beefy as f**k!

(Probably a repost, sorry if it is).

Lovely sounds like.

That last clip at 2.28. WTF ?

 

[Gaz_]

epic wee machines!

2.55 in the second vid in the snow is awesome, some awesome driving in there!

 

[Pauleds]

The Ragnotti rally Clio videos are awesome

 

[BoatNonce]

I don't know why, but I prefer the S1600.

My mate ran one in the BRC the past couple of seasons. Epic machines, just nowhere near as competitive as the DS3's when going for championships. He's now got a DS3!

 

[Chris7]

Nice videos. That was close, bet his backside was twitching

3:55 on the second vid.

MaNz GoT A BaDBoi SpOiLeR yO!

Cup spoiler.

 

[Knuckles]

I spent so long watching these before. Love that noise!

does anyone know why the r3s have one exhaust exit as opposed to two?

 

[Wick]

Some serious driving in there! Loving the liberal handbrake use to make every hairpin lol!

Maybe a class requirement?

Sarcasm?

If not, ive got no idea of the restrictions so I wouldn't know.

Peter taylor by any chance? If it is, he's at most of the rallys i go to. Very quick and really good to watch.

Not being sarcastic. I am guessing though.

Video's are really good and as said the noise!!! and not a shopping trolley handle in sight (Cup Spolier)

Yeah Peter, was an epic car but just not quick enough to go for the outright championship win even after many thousands spent on another engine and gearbox. The lads come a long way of late, looking forward to see what he can do in a competitive car.

Yeah the DS3 just has much more torque! Love the sound of them, they sound very low revving! Saw him in the DS3 at otterburn, cant wait to see him again this year

Because its a rally car! Exhausts tend to be tucked up as far as possible on a rally car to stop them being ripped off on stage. Also has to sit beneath Kevlar guards. A large box for twin pipes would not be feasible for this application and to be honest in my opinion twin pipe systems are pointless, its simply an asthetic thing, can't think of any performance benefit at all, in fact if anything the opposite.

Fuckkk, something so simple and slow did all that damage!

Aah, so are twin exits purely for aesthetics? No performance/flow gains?

I would say so, some may argue. I cant think if any reason why you benefit. There's extra weight as a negative for a start.

Yesssss! Anti-lag ftw too
