The best series in the world is dead.

RIP Clio Cup UK.

2009 has 3 confirmed entries because Renault jacked the entry fee up by £5000. From a massive grid, to nothing, in 1 quick move.

Oh my god! That was practically the highlight of the BTCC meetings! I am stunned. As you say, +30 grids to 3!!!!! Cripes.

Jacking the price up by £5000

How did they try and justify that?

I know Renault are a little short of money, but this has to be a pisstake, surely?!

Everyone knows that million-to-one chances happen 9 times out of 10; indeed, it's a common requirement in fairy tales. If the human didn't have to overcome huge odds, what would be the point? Terry Pratchett - The Science Of Discworld

How much was entrance in previous years?

I wouldnt woory, there will be series queing up to get on the BTCC bill. Although at this stage most championship calenders are already decided.....

Bugger, Clio Cup was awesome. I saw it at Snetterton last year and it was great - the race was red flagged at the first corner because three cars rolled, one of them on the straight

Not so sure about this.....
I met up with a mate last night for the first time since new year. He actually looks after a couple of drivers who competed in the series last year and are going to again this year. He told me that although Renault increased the entry costs, the series has 17 drivers already signed up.

Renault got some $3 billion Euro loan from the French government, might be their way of gathering money again

i never thought the series was that great, and when i saw the topic name i thought it was refering to wrc, motogp, irl or f1, maybe topic name should be changed to 'my favourite series in the world is dead'

It was a joke.
