Big surprise from spain: Renault importer will enter the tarmac series with a Clio N5 (spanish Maxi Rally), built by RMC. Driver is five time champ Miguel Fuster.



The plan was to run a brand new Clio R4, but delays in R4 homologation alongside the fact that the R4 rules are apparently close to those of N5/MR made Renault begin the project building a N5 spec car. First event will be Ourense Rally, in June.

While on gravel RMC’s 208 N5 already show it can win against R5 cars, on tarmac the Swift N5 from ARVidal is still far from them. Let’s see what this Renault (powered by a Peugeot engine!) will be able to do.
