Uh, no, I haven't.

The Clio Trophy is one of those annoying races that highlight how badly GT4's prizes are organized. You can't buy the Clio racecar, so you effectively have to build one from scratch just so you can win... a Clio racecar, which you no longer need since you just built one and there's no real venue for the 300-hp class racecars.

I overbuilt my car slightly, and got MOVs from +1.mid" to +4.high" for 29 A-spec points. You might get by with less, but since I was building a damn racecar, I made it a racecar:

wing
R3 tires
lightweight 3
race suspension, brakes, and intake/exhaust
full transmission with triple clutch
chip and NA1 tuning

In this build it was pushing 302hp and weighed 1190kg. It would turn 1':55-6" laps at El Capitan.
 
Yeah, what he said.

Also if you want a better power to weight ratio (I MEAN VERY SLIGHTLY) you should buy the used Renault Clio Renault Sport V6 24V Phase 1. It offers lighter weight, and has the color black and gray available. This is the exact model that the race cars were made of. (and detuned from the race models. :indiff:) Both of these car drive similar, but the older clio V6 has a rev limiter much past the redline, unlike the new clio. This can help you if you are using manual trasmission, because you won't get penalised as much. The older one handles slightly better, and easier to tune IMO. You should set the LSD to 35/20/30. These cars can get very drifty, and uncivilized, even with GT4's lack of oversteer. So suspension tuning is a MUST. Downforce at 20-25 front and 30 rear, after you buy a wing, should be added if you are having trouble. Bob would have trouble on Deep Forest Raceway if you lower the car too much, since if he hits the curbing, he spins out RIGHT on the last lap on the second last corner. This is when you fully modify your clio, or mostly modifying it. I thought I would share this information with you, since I don't want you throwing your PS2 in blind rage mode after that happens to you, since it happened to me numerous times when Bob was driving.

:cheers:

When I have time, I will post settings. :)

EDIT: Remember to not let off the gas too much while turning sharp, since MR cars usually would start drifting due to lift off throttle oversteer. If you do get in a drift, hold X, so the rear wheels can push out of the drift, countersteering is never needed, unless you have MASSIVE oversteer to correct. Countersteering too much in GT4 will throw you into another drift, usually ending up head first into a wall.

Ummm, "MOV"? If I don't get it, maybe a new player doesn't understand this, either.

Firstly I agree with CNG & go with the s/hand Clio , but I prefer it without the wing & diff options . Option up to around 330bhp R3 Tyres & qualify on the front row & as you are at 83% on your game you should have no problem . I am not the best driver but can win only 249bhp starting from the front. [PS I have aids set @ 1.0.1 ]
 
Wow, 83.3% in 6 months?!?!?!? i have 36.4% and ive been playing on and off for the past year or two..... :guilty: yeah, just overengineer the car and you'll have no problem. The clio trophy was oner of the first series I did, just cause I love that car so much 👍
 
The Clio is a very versatile car in this game. You can also take your same car and enter it in the French series, Hot Hatch, several professional series as well as rallies. Not to mention winning the French opens the Citroen needed for that "fun":crazy: race. It's one of the better investments just like an Elise, a good WRX or Evo.
