Championships
The Logan Cup car can be entered in open rallies Group N or open circuit motorsport events. Renault and Dacia organize One-make racing championships in various countries where the Logan is available for sale.
The Dacia Logan Cup has been held in Romania as Cupa Dacia Logan JOE since 2007, managed by Mach 1 Motorsports.
ADAC has been organizing the Cup in Germany since 2006 as the ADAC Dacia Logan Clubsport.[2] This championship rewards not the best driver but the best amateur team.
In France, the Coupe Logan Rallycross was organised by FFSA in 2008[3] as a rallycross series.
In Russia, the Renault Logan Cup rally series is supported by local Renault representatives - OAO Avtoframos, which manufacture Logans at a plant in Moscow. Held since 2008, Renault Logan Cup was private at first, sponsored by AGA autocosmetics. The race calendar consists of 9 races: 4 are part of the Russian Rally Championship, 4 in budget-minded Club Rally Cup, and one final race. Championship events usually attract no more than 5 Logans, as they are expensive. Club Rally evens are twice as popular, and there have been approximately 25 cars built (total) by the end of 2009.
The grand prize of the Russian Renault Logan Cup is free participation in the top winter oval racing (named trek) - Star Race by Za Rylem magazine, which is held each February.
