What's the news?
Renault has revealed the name of its proposed racer for a one-make series: it will be called the Renaultsport R.S. 01.
Destined for the World Series by Renault Championship, the Renaultsport R.S. 01 will feature a Dallara-built carbon fibre monocoque and a 500hp+ Nismo-derived engine paired with a Sadev seven-speed sequential gearbox. Specific tyres for the R.S. 01 will be developed by Michelin and the whole thing should weigh no more than 1,100kg. Sensational!
Anything else?
Put August 27 into your diary if you're salivating at the thought of seeing this machine, as that is when Renaultsport will give us full details on the R.S. 01 and a reveal too. Can't wait.
