One big problem . . . Alpine 110, Doesnt it make more sense that the meggy?

NICKRS, ongoing personal insults again. Disappointed that you are unable to accept an alternative view presented with credible argument, and apparently take pleasure in degrading individuals online.

The capability to travel 100 miles in a car comfortably isn't a major consideration in a 72k track car I'd suggest. And I believe other factors are more representative of qualifying as a daily driver.

More over, I don't recall you've addressed the issue of the car's relevance, or relative value for money. Any views?

For those that have bought, enjoy them. But you are totally correct, my 72k would be going elsewhere.

I woukd suggest that travelling over 100mikes in a track car is a major consideration. You drive to Spa and back in an uncomfortable car and then tell me it isn't important.

They're not insults they are mere statements of fact. You're degrading yourself by the absurdity of your bias and your hatred of all things Megane RS 4. I take no pleasure in stating the obvious.

I explained in detail the rationale behind the excellent VFM of the R in this very thread but reading comprehension not your forte either. Not an insult, just a statement of the obvious.

Doing 100miles in confort to the Ring or Spa or even Oulton from SE England is a major factor in a trackable daily. But how would you know? You don't do track days, you don't do Ring trips, which confirms that your absurd, prejudiced and irrational views of that car are nill and void. You are just a troll, and a poor one at that.

It's not £72k as there was only one at that price. It is £51k. How hard is this to comprehend? Not that you have either amounts to spend anyway, so your "views" have very little value.

And if you had £51k, you still can't come up with a new trackable car that would compete. Unless of course you can convince your Porsche dealer to sell you a GT4, have you tried ?

Go and troll on other forums please, which you probably do under several names anyway.

Dumb and dumber. Sorry.

You have zero track experience with road cars, have you? Neither the GTR nor the M4 are any good either, way too heavy. They overheat their tyres, pads and brake fluid very quickly and offer zero warranty for track use. You'll get 3 hot laps at best. The GTR can only 2 laps at the Ring as it runs out of fuel mid way through the 3rd one.

The opposite to a £51k Megane R, which will be a viable option on track, hence its value.

The post was about an Alfa Giulia not a much heavier GTR 😁 Anyway, all those frequent track day GTR owners don’t seem to have bought into your theory that they are not a viable option.

Still hung up on a GTR and weight then? The Megane is heavy compared to a Caterham, so just tow one in on a trailer for regular track days. Problem easily solved for £72k.

Also, with that £72k Megane R budget, there’s plenty of choice and even with your self imposed narrow buying criteria just focused on a new car for regular track days, that choice can also include modified and used cars, as Renault doesn’t warrant R cars in its T+C’s for track use. If they do now then please post up some details.

The low spec £51k R version? Well it doesn’t have the Ring record kudos or the bits that make it special and with its slower lap times, even if it had to fulfil your new car trackday requirement, buyers may be tempted to save £20k and buy a FK8 Type R and lap just as fast. The £51k Megane R owners not going to be be happy having a Type R welded to his rear bumper on track. Laps times suddenly not important? No need to buy a Megane R for track then.

The trackday world is rammed with tempting cheaper, modified or more cost effective stuff and that is this Meganes problem. It’s no longer the everymans affordable hot hatch hero.

I’d rather have have seen the ‘R’ budget spent on making the basic 300 Trophy a much more appealing and better drivers car than the Type R.

Doesn’t have a car and probably doesn’t drive, google is his best friend.
If you don’t like anything Renault, why come on here? That R is expensive, so what?

Pretty impressive that folks have the motivation to block an individual's posts on a public forum, isn't the intent of a public forum: to share opinion and slag it off?

brilliant reply
