Has to be a write off, or near write off. Hopefully it can come back but considering it was at the N24 thanks to Marshalls paying their fuel bill, it’s doubtful they can repair the Logan.

That is a shame. Was always a laugh seeing the Dacia being passed by the leaders. They’re just talking about it on the broadcast feed.

They made a Instagram post saying the car is totaled. They wouldn’t be able to rebuild it and there are no engines for it available. They don’t know how they will continue but will update on their Instagram if they should keep racing in any way in the future.

My Disappointment Is Immeasurable, And My Day Is Ruined.

That is bad news to hear for those of us who enjoy seeing the Logan going round. Hopefully they can find a new project. It’s silly stuff like that which makes the N24 special.

there is one Logan of the same model available on Mobile, though that depends on what engine it comes with

No engines? For a Dacia Logan? In Europe?

It’s not a Dacia Logan engine. Was a Renault Megan Cup or so if I remember.

It won't be coming back. The engine is damaged beyond repair and isn't made anymore.

Can't they just buy a 2nd hand one for £50 off ebay? It's just a Renault Clio lump.

thats what i was thinking, i see logans nearly every day in Brasil and i imagine its the same in Europe so it cant be that hard to find a second hand engine and chassis

They're used a clio cup engine which aren't that rare. I'm assuming building a new car is out of budget.

It is a write off.
