Awesome! used to LOVE the Clios. Little Holligan mobiles and obviously proper race cars... BUT glad to see them keeping it fresh and changing the event around. Cant wait to drive the Atom! and looking forward to driving it in the wet weirdly as well!

I thought the Clios were superb, in fact I (along with almost everyone I spoke to on the day) preferred them to the 911s, so I would rather they kept the Clios and replaced the Porsches.

I suppose they are really a more natural replacement for the Caterhams on the basis of size, weight, although being mid rather than front engine'd I suppose they are more of a handful (have never driven an Atom). Shame to lose the Clios I say

Having now looked at the website, it appears that the Atom has replaced both Clio and 911, hopefully there will be more time in each car to make up for this.

Haha what a shame, one of my proudest moments was winning the Clio event on a palmersport day - Still have the trophy somewhere.

They were great fun though, I'll never forget the instructor telling me to basically drive it like I stole it because he hated french cars and they enjoyed being punished! Flat out gear changes, stamping on the brakes - Could have stayed in it all day!
