iRacing Renault Clio R.S. V Guide
The Renault Clio R.S. V is a D-licence front-wheel drive hatchback in iRacing. It features in the Clio Cup (Fixed) and Production Endurance Challenge. Front-drive dynamics and manageable power make it a good choice for learning weight transfer and corner exit traction.
Car Characteristics
- Drive: Front-wheel drive. Understeer on exit if you apply throttle too early
- Power: Moderate power. Focus on corner speed and momentum
- Weight transfer: Braking shifts weight forward; use it to help turn-in
- Assists: Varies by series. Fixed setup in Clio Cup keeps the field even
Series
Clio Cup (Fixed) offers short, frequent races with equal setups. Production Endurance Challenge mixes the Clio with GR86, MX-5 and BMW M2 for longer events. Both suit D-licence progression.
Driving Tips
- Turn-in: Brake in a straight line, then turn. Front-drive rewards clean turn-in
- Exit: Wait for the front to grip before adding throttle. Early throttle causes understeer
- Kerb use: Use kerbs to straighten the car and shorten the lap where safe
Tip: In the Clio, corner exit is where you gain or lose time. Be patient with the throttle and let the car settle before full power.
