Attendance at these events on the Renault H&C Trophy calendar earns owners points towards an award and prizes at the end of the season. For example a GTA or Clio V6 would earn 8 points for an event, a 5 Turbo or R8G 10 points and a Renault 8S or 4CV 15 points. These are totted up by Renault Heritage at the end of the season and winners (30-59 = Bronze, 60-89 = Silver, 90+ = Gold) are invited to Renault HQ (Square Com) in Paris for an awards ceremony and champagne reception at the end of the season in December.
Thanks to the inclusion of ‘La Vie en Bleu 2’ it is now possible for a collector with a qualifying vehicle worth 10 or more points to obtain a Bronze trophy in 2008 by attending all three UK events. However you must register your intention to participate before the deadline (date TBA) at the start of the season. This cannot be done retrospectively. If you are not on the H&C mailing list or do not know how to register, please get in touch and we can provide you with the relevant forms and information.
Members and collectors should note that these are not the only events on the RAOC calendar this year but they are the only ones that will earn points towards H&C Trophies 2008. Please consult the RAOC website (
www.renaultalpine.co.uk) or forum for the full list of events during 2008.
