Championships

The Dacia Logan Cup vehicle participates in both Group N rallies and circuit racing events. Renault and Dacia host single-make racing championships in markets where the Logan model is commercially available.

In Romania, the series launched in 2007 under the name Cupa Dacia Logan JOE, was renamed Cupa Dacia Ursus in 2008, and has been called Cupa Dacia since 2009. Initially managed by Mach1sport-management, the championship gained sponsorship from Policolor’s "Klar Professional" brand starting in 2010. The Cupa Dacia forms an integral component of the Romanian Rally Championship (CNR) and operates under the auspices of FRAS (Romanian Federation of Sport Automotive), attracting a competitive field.

Since 2006, ADAC in Germany has conducted the ADAC Dacia Logan Clubsport, emphasizing participation by amateur teams instead of individual drivers.

In France, the Coupe Logan Rallycross was launched by the FFSA in 2008 as a rallycross competition.

The Renault Logan Cup rally series began in Russia in 2008 with support from Renault’s local manufacturer OAO Avtoframos near Moscow. Initially a private initiative sponsored by AGA autocosmetics, this championship comprises nine events: four rounds within the Russian Rally Championship, four races in the cost-effective Club Rally Cup, plus a final event. While championship rounds generally feature up to five Logans due to budget constraints, Club Rally Cup contests attract greater participation, with about twenty-five cars constructed by 2009. The overall winner receives complimentary entry to Za Rylem magazine’s premier winter oval racing event, Star Race.
