Renault
Motor Racing
In 1976 legendary motorsport
manufacturers Alpine and Gordini were united to form Renault
Sport. Since its inception, Renault Sport has successfully
lead many different sporting programs developed by Renault,
in the major competition disciplines: rally, track, endurance,
touring, and of course, Formula 1 (before the creation of the
Renault F1 Team).
In 1995 Renault Sport established a department specifically
for the creation of the sporting models of Renault road vehicles.
These sport-savvy variants incorporate all the technical know-how
and experience of RST, developed through many years of involvement
in all areas of motorsport. Proud to carry the Renault Sport
badge, surprising vehicles such as the Clio Williams, Spire
Renault Sport and Clio V6 share a history steeped in tradition
from Renault and innovation from Renault Sport.
Renault’s first achievements in motorsport began in the
era of trials between towns at the start of the 20th Century
when brothers Louis and Marcel Renault built the reputation
of the brand by excelling in the races such as Paris-Trouville,
Paris-Berlin or Paris-Vienna.
Since its historic start in motorsport, Renault has continued
in to develop and promote its products through motorsport.
Today, Renault Sport Technologies continues to carry the flame
in competition and is charged with not only developing racing
vehicles, but the promotion and formation of sports variant
Renault vehicles.
