Resin R5 Superproduction France Championship 1987 SW

The 1987 French Superproduction Championship was a national touring car series in France that featured highly modified production-based race cars competing on some of the country’s most famous circuits, including Paul Ricard, Dijon-Prenois, and Nogaro. Built around a silhouette racing concept, the category allowed extensive aerodynamic and mechanical upgrades while retaining the outline of road-going models, producing extremely fast and visually dramatic racing machines.

The iconic Renault 5 Turbo, developed by Renault, was one of the most distinctive cars associated with this era of French circuit racing. Originally designed for Group B rally competition, the mid-engined, turbocharged hatchback was adapted by private teams for circuit use, taking advantage of its compact dimensions, lightweight construction, and explosive turbo power delivery.

In Superproduction specification, the Renault 5 Turbo featured widened aerodynamic bodywork, racing suspension, slick tyres, and circuit-focused tuning to maximise grip and braking performance on tarmac circuits. Its strengths were most evident on tighter tracks, where agility and acceleration out of slow corners allowed it to remain competitive against larger and more powerful touring cars, particularly in technical sections requiring rapid direction changes.

For slot car enthusiasts and collectors, the 1987 Superproduction Renault 5 Turbo represents the height of 1980s French circuit racing innovation. Its aggressive wide-arch silhouette, unmistakable Group B-derived design, and high-intensity racing character make it an ideal subject for detailed slot car models, perfect for recreating historic touring car grids and classic French sprint racing action.
