Renault, more than 115 years of sporting passion
Renault has long understood the value of motorsport to its brand
Renault’s first major motorsport victory came in the 1902 Paris-Vienna race at the hands of Marcel Renault. Three Type K lightweight cars were entered alongside four smaller voiturettes to do battle against the likes of Count Zborowski’s powerful Mercedes and Henry Farman’s Panhard. The #event took place on steep, twisting roads, including a tough Alpine crossing. Marcel Renault’s victory was at an average speed of 62.5km/h and from that point on, Renault would be a very serious contender in motorsport at all levels.
In 1906 Renault entered the first-ever Grand Prix, held over two days on public roads outside Le Mans. Renault participated with its Type AK, a lightweight chassis fitted with a 12.9-litre four-cylinder engine. In spite of searing temperatures, a track that almost melted and more than 12 hours of #racing, Hungarian Ferenç Szisz won the race for Renault. Victory contributed to an increase in sales for the French manufacturer in the years following the race.
