The Renault Clio Rally5 is a rally vehicle engineered by Renault Sport specifically for competition in the Group Rally5 segment of the Rally Pyramid. Derived from the production Renault Clio model, it made its first appearance in the World Rally Championship at the 2020 Rally Mexico.
Development
Designed primarily for novice rally drivers, the Clio Rally5 is equipped with a less potent engine compared to the Rally4 version. In contrast to the Rally4, this model does not include adjustable shock absorbers and is fitted with slightly narrower tires for asphalt stages, reflecting its status as an entry-level rally car.
Competition history
This vehicle was utilized in the Renault Clio Trophy, which was organized by Toksport during selected rounds of the 2021 European Rally Championship. The champion of this category received an opportunity to compete in three events driving a Renault Clio Rally4.
