WANTAGE-BASED driver Ollie Coles is to test a Renault Clio with Derbyshire outfit 20Ten Racing, at Rockingham, near Corby, next Saturday.

The 21-year-old, who races his MG ZR in the Renault Clio Trophy, is looking to move up to the Michelin Clio Cup Race Series.

This is a championship for the third generation Clio Cup car as raced in the British Touring Car Championship support package from 2007-2013.

Coles said: “Being able to test one of these fantastic cars really is a dream come true for me, having watched them race on the BTCC package for several years.

“I’m actively seeking sponsorship to be able to compete in the Clio Cup Race Series in 2015.

“20Ten Racing is a team I have been keenly watching throughout this year and am eager to race with them.”

Simon Hunt, 20Ten Racing’s team manager, said: “We are delighted to have Ollie testing with us, and hope he enjoys driving the Clio.

“It’s a completely different experience to an MG, so it will be interesting to see how he gets on.

“We would obviously love him to join.”
