Things are really starting to hot up as Josh Files becomes the third driver in the course of a week to announce his entry into the 2012 Renault Clio Cup. He also renews his relationship with Team Pyro for the new season.

The 21 year old driver finished the 2011 season in strong form with a season best second place at Rockingham. He is looking to build from the experience gained in his rookie season and has his sights set firmly on competing for the title.

Files will be launching his all new 2012 race car this week on the BARC stand at the Autosport International Show.
