Renault Sport
Technologies will launch two single make rally championships in the UK starting
next year.
The UK Twingo R1 and R2
Trophies will run alongside the MSA British Rally Championship, following each
event across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man.
Renault is unique in
being the only manufacturer to have a car homologated in each of the three FIA
two wheel drive classes.The Twingo Trophy cars
will be based on the 133hp Twingo Renaultsport and are aimed at budget
conscious buyers, coming in the form of motorsport kits featuring all the
required parts. |  | "R1 to IRC" may not be the catch phrase that defines
the new Twingo Trophies, but it is the key principle behind the initiative,
which will focus not only on providing close competition, but also give drivers
an opportunity to progress through the categories in Renault rally cars.
