Bennett Renault, based on Barrack Road in Leeds, celebrated their first year in business alongside two of their partnered sporting stars, Renault UK Clio Cup racer Max Coates and Leeds Rhino’s mascot Ronnie the Rhino.


The event attracted visitors both locally and from further afield to take a look around the dealership and the range of Renault and Dacia cars available.


Following a successful 3rd season in the Renault UK Clio Cup Max Coates attendance also included his race winning R.S. Renault Clio Cup car as well as his racing simulator. Both went down a storm with a variety of people taking part and challenging Max’s best times on the simulator. Likewise, guests enjoyed the opportunity to sit in Max’s car and gain an understanding of the unique cockpit in a racing car.


Ronnie the Rhino entertained the children around the dealership and helped to run a competition to kick a ball into the back of the All-New Duster, showcasing the new shape and added space that it offers. Alongside Max’s Clio Cup campaign Bennett Renault have become an official partner to Leeds Rhino’s, the North's most prominent Rugby League team competing in the Super league sponsored by Dacia and their shockingly affordable range of vehicles.

He's on top of the game with Clio racing and along with RMB Auto we're proud to support him and everything he has to offer”
