NEW FWD lap record of the Ring
The Megane RS 265 Trophy has just set a new FWD lap record of the 'Ring - 8m 07.97s.
10's quicker then the 26.r and no 888's used either

Impressive considering the R26R was a stripped out racer with cage, slicks and plexi-glass windscreen!

That's great for Renault. French or not, can't take away the fact they are the leading market for a hot hatch.

just seen this on facebook, very impressive and i love it. a mate has recently bought a megane coupe and it's a really nice looking imho, parked next to a three door focus it really makes the focus look out-dated

They're hideous though. The french have always liked angular, boxy cars but those megane's are seriously naff.

25 seconds faster than the ZR1's lap record ? Doubtful, but fucking fair play if it did.
