hot hatch - your choice

[lightstone]

HP limit about 220HP, weight about 1100kg. what would be your choice?

Does it have to be stock? If not lighten up the 05 golf gti and add a little power or maybe the Mr Renault Clio/megane dont remember which is mr

MR? Then you're talking about the Clio v6, which if memory serves ne well has 300 hp.

I'm so glad they added the new Clio RS, and they do even gift one to you! With the usual trackday stuff installed it dominates its class. But mind you, the chassis gives its best with ~240hp.

thanks for reply, the only limitation is 220HP and 1100kg. i need a list of 16 different hot hatches which fullfill this simple requirements for online racing series.

balast can be increased/hp can be decresed

The problem with a formula like this is ballast. Lighter cars can lighten even more and throw ballast on the back and the cars will rotate better and be faster and have much better front tire wear. Cars like the Focus or RCZ are much heavier and may not make it down to that weight minimum or if so, just barely, and won't be able to add any ballast. They won't rotate as well and will suffer worse front tire wear. To be more competitive you need to list all the cars and focus on those that are closer together in stock weight so they can all benefit equally from ballast. A formula like this for example.

Take a 1400 kg car and see how much weight reduction it does. Just spitballing here but let's say it's 250 kgs down to 1150 kgs. It can add 200 kgs of ballast to get to 1350 kgs. If you set the weight to 1350 kgs every car from around 1150 kgs to 1400 kgs should be able to make this weight with substantial ballast on the back.

The TVR V8S fits in with those limits well. its a fun car, plus can still be fun maxed out.

I didn't know the V8S was considered a hot hatch. Things must have changed since I was last in the UK
