2013 FIELD TO FEATURE 19 TEAMS AND 38 CARS
The World Series by Renault Organising Committee has released the list of 19 teams that will form the starting grid for the 2013 Eurocup Clio season, with 38 New Clio Cups lining up in all. The first get-together of the year will be April’s collective testing sessions at Motorland Aragon, just a few weeks before the big kick-off at Imola in the middle of May.
Based on the New Clio Renault Sport 200 EDC, the New Clio Cup is the major development of the 2013 season. Developed by Renault Sport Technologies, this all-new race car will compete exclusively in Eurocup Clio next year before joining the national championships in 2014.
After sifting through a large number of entries the World Series by Renault Organising Committee selected 19 teams with the aim of having 38 New Clio Cups on the grid. Nine of the outfits that contested the 2012 season will be on duty again, among them RMS Engineering, the winner of this year’s drivers’ title with Oscar Nogues, and Milan Competition, who won the 2011 drivers’ crown with Nicolas Milan and the 2012 team championship.
Featuring among the 2013 Eurocup Clio newcomers are Lema Racing Team of Slovenia, Ralf Car of Russia and the British outfit Team Pyro.
