ABOUT
When a major car manufacturer enters the frenetic, high technology world of motor racing, especially at the deep end of Grand Prix racing, they really are putting their reputation on the line.
It was at the British Grand Prix in 19?7 that Renault Sport publicly introduced their turbocharged machine which at that time was unique in Formula One in using such an engine configuration. Not only did they come in with a different sized engine but, uniquely at that time, they employed Michelin tyres, thereby threatening the Goodyear stranglehold.
Bob Constanduros examines in depth the Renault Elf team since their participation in modern Grand Prix racing, and investigates just why this major car company needs to compete, the spin-offs to the road cars and other such fascinating aspects. The team make-up is explained as well as features on a few of the major personalities.
