Resin R5 Superproduction France Championship 1987 SW

The 1987 French Superproduction Championship was part of France’s national touring car scene, featuring highly modified production-based racing cars built for sprint circuit competition. Raced on major French circuits such as Paul Ricard, Dijon-Prenois, and Nogaro, the series emphasised high power, wide racing slicks, and aggressive bodywork within a silhouette-style formula that rewarded acceleration, braking stability, and chassis control.

A standout competitor in this era was the legendary Renault 5 Turbo, developed by Renault. Although originally designed for Group B rallying, the Renault 5 Turbo was also adapted by private teams for circuit racing and national touring car categories. Its compact mid-engine layout, turbocharged performance, and lightweight construction made it a highly distinctive and competitive entry in modified production racing formats.

In the Superproduction field, the Renault 5 Turbo was transformed into a full circuit racer with widened aerodynamic bodywork, upgraded suspension, and high-performance slick tyres. On tight French circuits, its agility and explosive turbocharged power delivery allowed it to excel in technical sections, where rapid direction changes and strong traction out of slow corners were essential. While larger saloons often held an advantage in top speed, the Renault 5 Turbo remained a popular and charismatic contender in the hands of skilled drivers and privateer teams.

For slot car enthusiasts and collectors, the 1987 Superproduction Renault 5 Turbo represents pure 1980s French circuit racing energy. Its extreme wide-body silhouette, iconic rally-derived design, and competition-proven performance make it an ideal subject for detailed slot car models, perfect for recreating historic French touring car battles and high-intensity sprint racing grids.
