Designed to provide an entry point and training ground for up-and-coming drivers, the Renault Clio Cup Series is all about having a level playing field which creates genuine, healthy racing, and provides genuine opportunities for talented drivers to show their skills. Like similar one-make series races, the series requires competitors to use a spec or stock car setup, ensuring that driver talent, rather than tuning ability, is key to winning. We are also starting an hour earlier than usual because Monday morning is right around the corner and I know the blue-collar workforce will appreciate ending earlier.

- A car with two tires on the defined track limits is already considered having two tires off-track.
- If a car gains an advantage by going over track limits, drivers are expected to reduce speed just enough to negate any potential advantage gained. Repeated instances of gaining an advantage by exceeding track limits results in a penalty.
