Renault to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its involvement in Formula 1 at Classic Days 2017
As part of its celebrations to mark the 40th anniversary of its involvement in #formula1, #renault will be presenting a retrospective of its prestigious past in grand prix #racing with a display of 11 #f1 cars at Classic Days 2017 (Magny-Cours, France).
The programme at the French circuit includes track runs by the RS01 and the RE40 in the hands of Jean-Pierre Jabouille and Alain Serpaggi respectively.
The Classic Days weekend has become a not-to-miss gathering for fans of vintage, classic and collectors’ cars. This year’s event will feature a display of more than 1,750 vehicles dating from 1899 until the current day.
Classic Days 2017 takes place at Magny-Cours, France, on the weekend of April 29-30.
About the RS01:
The 1977 British Grand Prix at Silverstone saw #renault take the bold step of making its #f1 debut with a car powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine, whereas rival teams were still #racing with the alternative normally-aspirated three-litre powerplants also permitted by the regulations. Turbocharging soon became the default option for the entire grid, however, proving the shrewdness of Renault’s choice…
About the RE40:
The RE40 took #renault painfully close to winning its maiden Constructors’ title.
Renault had been edging its way up the #formula1 World Championship pecking order since 1980. After a halting start to the 1983 championship, Alain Prost scored a superb win at the French Grand Prix, putting an end once and for all to the debate about the supremacy of turbocharged engines which #renault had pioneered in 1975. Yet although the 1983 campaign turned out to be Renault’s most successful of the so-called turbo era, it was forced to settle for second place in the Constructors’ standings.
