Renaultsport Megane RS265 Trophy Track Day Events  

Product Details

Our Megane RS265 Trophy has the acclaimed Cup chassis (stiffer springs, dampers and anti-roll bar and grooved brake discs), mechanical limited slip differential is complemented by Brembo brakes, as well as the innovative PerfoHub independent steering axis front suspension set-up, which virtually eliminates torque steer. 

The Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy is officially Renaultsports's fastest ever car courtesy of a number of engine enhancements which include a rise in turbo boost pressure from 2.0 to 2.5 bar, and a revised intake. Power is therefore up to 261bhp, from the standard Megane 250's 247bhp while torque rises to 266 lb/ft, making it the most powerful RS Megane ever.

Helping the RS Megane 265 Trophy's torque-steer limiting front struts and limited slip differential put the power to the ground are a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE 050 tyres however for dry events the track-club car will run on Toyo R888's or Yokohama AO48 R track day rubber.

This car has just lapped the Nurburgring 9 seconds quicker than the previous hottest Megane the R26R.  Just 50 RS265's are in the UK and the track-club car is available for any UK track event on a fully inclusive basis for just £895 as well as European days by negotiation.  Like all of our cars you can specify the addition of a Video & Data package to take away the video of your day with a data overlay.

The Megane RS265 is an ideal car for tuition, circuit learning or for those looking to develop front wheel drive circuit skills.

On 17th June 2011, on the legendary Nordschleife circuit the Renault Mégane R.S. Trophy set a new lap record of 8'08" in the front-wheel drive category, beating the previous record of 8'17"set by the Mégane R26.R.

Further Information

 track day car hire from track-club is not your typical red letter day type experience - our cars are hired out on an exclusive basis and we manage the day as if the car is your own car for the day.

 Typically a track day will start at around 0800 with driver sign on, either before or after the safety briefing a track-club technician will introduce you to your car and instructor (if you have booked an instructor).  Once you are briefed and you are comfortable in the car and familiar with the controls you will be free to take to the track at your leisure.  Our cars do not have artificial rpm limits and we only expect that drivers to treat the car as they would their own.  The car should have around 15-20 minutes rest in each hour of driving to allow for fuelling, oil checks, tyre pressure setting etc.  Your hire ends at the end of the track event.

 You can share a car with as many drivers as you like subject to payment of the additional driver premium but we recommend no more than 3-4 drivers per car to allow a sensible amount of driving time for each driver.  We do not count an ARDS instructor as an additional driver if you are receiving tuition and they want to demonstrate a technique to you.

  The hire fee includes;

 -          exclusive use of the car at the your chosen track day

 -          the car is prepared in our motorsport workshop, delivered to the circuit, cleaned and made ready in your allocated garage or in the paddock

 -          insurance subject to the vehicle specific excess, typically £2500

 -          full technical support, one of our technicians will aid you with harnesses and manage fuel, tyre pressures and suspension settings

 -          all fuel included for sessioned track events, first tank of fuel included on open pit lane events with additional fuel subsidised at £1.00 per litre

 track-club can arrange the booking of your preferred track day and co-ordinate track fees, tuition, car hire and any other services on your behalf.
