Communiqué De Presse Communiqué De Presse 20 MAI 2016 Renault e.dams confirm Buemi and Prost for 2016­17 season 19 May 2016. Renault e.dams is pleased to confirm Sébastien Buemi and Nicolas Prost are retained for the 2016­17 FIA Formula E Championship. Sébastien and Nicolas will continue their successful partnership for a third consecutive season. So far the duo has scored six wins and aided Renault e.dams to the inaugural 2014­15 Teams’ title. Sébastien is currently second in the Drivers’ championship, just 11 points behind the leader, while Nico is sixth. Renault e.dams is leading the Teams’ championship with an advantage of seven points. The driver announcement completes Renault e.dams’ long­term vision. Renault and e.dams finalised terms earlier this year to continue their partnership to create a stable platform going forward and enable Renault to realise its technical and marketing objectives around the growing electric vehicle market. On the eve of the Berlin ePrix Alain Prost, Senior Team Manager, commented: ‘There are some decisions that are hard to make and others that are logical, and this is definitely the latter. Séb has shown his speed time and time again with two wins so far this year and is fighting for the championship for the second season in a row. Nico has demonstrated consistency and has achieved a string of strong results. We can build on this and look forward to a solid end to the year and an even more successful third season together.’ Jean­Paul Driot, Senior Team Manager, ‘Each year our objectives get tougher and tougher, so stability is key to success. But we haven’t sacrificed speed for steadiness: Séb and Nico are the best pairing in the series. Not only do they work very well together, both are quick, professional and technically minded so allow us to get the most from the Renault Z.E15. Making this announcement now means we can concentrate on our goals for this season; winning both championships.’ Sébastien Buemi, ‘Knowing I will be in the Renault e.dams car next year is a definite boost at this point in the year. I’m totally focussed on winning the title this season and knowing that I will be around to potentially defend it is very motivating. We’ve got a good thing going: the team has gelled well together, we have strong solid support from Renault and Nico and I are very complementary. Keeping this going as the championship grows is a real positive for the team.’ Nico Prost, ‘Renault e.dams is definitely amongst the top Formula E teams, no question. The technical commitment from Renault e.dams works extremely well and we have one of the quickest cars in the field, if not the quickest. I’m sure we will carry the momentum forward into the next season so I’m really pleased to be able to continue with the team for a third year.’ Vincent Gaillardot, Renault Sport Project Leader, 'Formula E is the ideal platform for Renault to push EV development in order to remain at the forefront of this sector. To best develop our technology we need two intelligent and technically adept drivers who are able to work well together as part of a team. We also need two drivers that are quick on track to satisfy our sporting desires! With Séb and Nico we have exactly this and we have benefitted from their efforts over the past two seasons. We look forward to continuing to deliver at the highest level on track and ultimately bringing exciting EV developments to our road range as a result of our competitive endeavours.'

  • PREVIEW #11 Germany
    #11 PREVIEW gERMANY 20/21/22 July 2018 Hockenheimring Summary Cyril Abiteboul / Bob Bell / Nico Hülkenberg / Carlos Sainz / Academy / Track Notes / History Foreword Cyril Abiteboul The German Grand Prix arrives after Formula 1’s first triple-header, which, for us, proved to be a challenge and a test of our capabilities and stamina. We’ve completed this busy period still in fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship, but this position doesn’t highlight the mid-season wake-up call we’ve received in recent races; we’re fully aware that the fight for fourth place will not be easy and will continue throughout the second half of the season. Cyril Abiteboul Renault Sport Racing Managing Director We rescued a good points finish at Silverstone – a track we knew didn’t play to our strengths - after a bad qualifying, with Nico producing a professional and composed drive to sixth. Carlos also made an excellent start to be in a position for points, but a racing incident stopped any chances of that. These things happen in Formula 1. With Spain, France and Great Britain complete, Germany is Nico’s turn for a home race and he heads to Hockenheim with his confidence high after Silverstone. The next two races should be more suited to the characteristics of our package, but as a team, we know a perfectly executed weekend is important to the outcome of a Grand Prix. We have more hard work on this journey if we are to stay ahead of our midfield rivals in fourth. Away from Formula 1, this weekend (13-15 July), Renault as a title sponsor of e.dams say goodbye to the Formula E Championship after four seasons.

  • Mouser-Sponsored Vaillante Rebellion Celebrates Win in Mexico, Gears up for Texas Race
    US Headquarters 1000 N. Main Street, Mansfield, TX 76063, USA (817) 804-3800 Main www.mouser.com For Immediate Release Mouser-Sponsored Vaillante Rebellion Celebrates Win in Mexico, Gears Up for Texas Race September 14, 2017 – Following an exceptional first-place finish at the tough Six Hours of Mexico, the Mouser-sponsored Vaillante Rebellion racing team now turns its attention stateside as it prepares for the 6 Hours of COTA at Lone Star Le Mans, set for September 16 at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. The Mouser-sponsored Vaillante Rebellion No. 31 car quickly made its way to the front of the LMP2 pack, trading the lead spot several times before driver Bruno Senna returned to the cockpit to pace out the competition at the end of the race. The team is well positioned to make a run for the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship title with four races left in the nine-race season. The race at Lone Star Le Mans poses a unique challenge, with temperatures in Austin averaging 90 degrees F (32 degrees C) making the Circuit of the Americas the warmest venue so far this year. In the race for the Endurance Trophy for LMP2 Teams, the Vaillante Rebellion No. 31 car, piloted by Senna, Nico Prost and Julien Canal, had a solid hold on second place going into Mexico City. Vaillante Rebellion’s No. 13 car, driven by Nelson Piquet, Jr., Mathias Beche and David Heinemeier Hansson, is among a tightly packed group just short of the top three. “Coming off a fantastic first-place finish in Mexico and second-place finish at Nürburgring, the Vaillante Rebellion team is performing exceptionally,” said Todd McAtee, Mouser’s Vice President of Americas Business Development.
