RENAULT Sport's fabulous Megane Trophy supercar will make its official UK debut at the 2005 Goodwood Festival of Speed in the capable hands of former Renault Formula One driver, 55-year-ol Frenchman Patrick Tambay.
Megane Trophy's wheels turned for the first time just prior to last Christmas and now UK spectators will get the opportunity to see the incredible 320hp, 3.5-litre, V6-engined car for the first time on British soil.
With the Megane Renaultsport 225 roadcar used as a blueprint, the Megane Trophy racer has been lowered by a full 10cm and features radically widened wheel arches and a monstrous rear diffuser - a la Formula One.
The powerful, mid-engined, Megane Trophy will undoubtedly turn heads when parked in the Supercar Paddock and there won't be a single spectator who isn't in awe as it roars up Goodwood Hill with Tambay at the wheel.
Over 30 Megane Trophy racers have been built to take part in a Pan-European, one-make race series that visits the UK on 10th/11th September at Leicestershire's Donington Park.
Tambay's countryman, and fellow ex-Renault Formula One star, Rene Arnoux will also make a welcome return to Goodwood this year, along with Renault's first-ever Formula One car, RS01. The popular Frenchman always proves to be an annual favourite at Goodwood and is looking forward to making headlines once again.
