Since then, it has established its reputation as one of the most glamorous and prestigious sporting events on the planet. Featuring high-speed sections on an incredibly narrow layout, Monaco is not for the faint of heart. With barriers so close all around the 3.3km venue, racers cannot afford any mistake. 01:05 FEATURE: A VERY SPECIAL WEEKEND 01:06 Voice over Every racing weekend at Monaco is a special occasion. But perhaps even more for Renault this year. 01:15 ITW Cyril ABITEBOUL, Renault Sport Racing Managing Director In French “When you love motorsport, being in Monaco feels like a dream given the history and reputation of the place. For years, we have enjoyed a close partnership with the Automobile Club de Monaco with exclusive access to organise very special events. We’ll actually reveal a new exciting car this weekend. Monaco also gives us the opportunity to have the whole family in one place. Usually, we’re scattered around the world in Formula One, Renault Sport Trophy, Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, and Formula E.” 01:55 Voice over Besides its F1 return, Renault has launched a new motorsport organisation in 2016. 02:02 ITW Cyril ABITEBOUL, Renault Sport Racing Managing Director In French “Renault Sport Racing gathers all our racing activities under the same banner in two places: Viry-Châtillon in France and Enstone in the UK after we took over the Lotus F1 Team. The programme focuses on performance, technology, marketing, and events. Our racing family needed to come together. We can now build the next chapter in our motorsport journey.” 02:31 Voice over The support to the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 remains. 02:39 ITW Cyril ABITEBOUL, Renault Sport Racing Managing Director In French “The series is close to our hearts but we can’t just look back, we need to move forward. We are keen to support the Formula Renault 2.0. I’d actually call it Formula Renault since this is the only single-seaters category we have left. We’ll see how it evolves but we want to keep having it.” 03:01 ITW Cyril ABITEBOUL, Renault Sport Racing Managing Director In French “When you develop a car like the Formula Renault 2.0 you need to think about the drivers, but also the people that are funding it. We need to make it an enticing product. You also need to compete on the best circuits. That’s why we’re here in Monaco. It shows we want to promote the championship.” 03:29 ITW Cyril ABITEBOUL, Renault Sport Racing Managing Director In French “2016 is a special year in many respects. Renault is coming back as an F1 constructor. We first competed in the sport in 1977.” 03:41 ITW Cyril ABITEBOUL, Renault Sport Racing Managing Director In French “It’s also Renault Sport’s 40th anniversary so it’s wonderful to come together in this gorgeous setting to celebrate this milestone. I don’t want to tease too much about Monaco because the TV viewers might be getting jealous but we’re delighted to be here indeed.” 04:00 FEATURE: TAMING MONACO FOR THE FIRST TIME 04:08 #9 Dorian BOCCOLACCI (FRA – Tech1 Racing) In French “I have always followed Formula One and been to Monaco quite often. Racing here, in front of a big crowd, on such an iconic track, is just amazing.” 04:25 #9 Dorian BOCCOLACCI (FRA – Tech1 Racing) In French “Forty years ago, Formula Renault was already there but cars have changed. It’s all new for us and tricky because we have no previous references.” 04:38 #6 Bruno BAPTISTA (BRA – Fortec Motorsports) In English “We don’t have any setup data, which makes it really difficult for the team manager and engineers.” 04:51 Lars KAUFMANN (Josef Kaufmann Racing Team Manager) In English “The preparation is a bit different compared to the other races. It’s a street circuit here, the only one in the schedule, so we try to prepare the drivers to be even more focussed because every little mistake will end up in the wall.” 05:12 #9 Dorian BOCCOLACCI (FRA – Tech1 Racing) In French “We cannot make any mistake on street circuits. There is no run-off area: it’s straight into the barriers.” 05:24 Voice over Unlike BOCCOLACCI, it’s NORRIS’ first time on a street circuit. 05:33 #2 Lando NORRIS (GBR – Josef Kaufmann Racing) In English “There were a lot of preparations, more than on other tracks. The main things are the simulator and getting to know the track as much as possible with very limited amount of track time.” 05:50 #2 Lando NORRIS (GBR – Josef Kaufmann Racing) In English “I have a simulator at home so most of the time, I’m doing this. It’s something I enjoy apart from racing in real life. Sometimes, I have a professional like an engineer who comes down to work with me.” 06:07 #9 Dorian BOCCOLACCI (FRA – Tech1 Racing) In French “We watch on-board cameras from Formula One drivers to see how the corners are, how fast these are. We learn a lot this way on how to be ready before getting in the car.” 06:30 Simon ABADIE (FRA – Tech1 Racing Team Manager) In French “In Monaco, it’s more complicated for the drivers to handle the pressure because there is the Formula One Grand Prix and everyone is watching them. They should play it cool and not pay attention to the spotlights.” 06:45 Voice over Indeed, only two hours after the Eurocup race, the Monaco Grand Prix gets under way. 06:55 #6 Bruno BAPTISTA (BRA – Fortec Motorsports) In English “It’s difficult to focus because the Formula One bosses will watch Eurocup. There is more pressure but this is a good thing.” 07:17 JINGLE 07:20 END OF PART 1 PART 2 00:00 JINGLE EUROCUP FORMULA RENAULT 2.0 00:05 FEATURE: MEET THE PALMER FAMILY 00:06 Voice over To prepare a first race at Monaco, it helps when your father and brother have Formula One experience. 00:15 ITW #14 Will PALMER (GBR – R-ace GP) In English “It’s great to have them here. It’s the first time I’m racing on a grand prix weekend with Jolyon. It’s quite a strange feeling but it’s also good because he can help me.” 00:34 ITW Jolyon PALMER – Renault Sport Formula One Team Driver In English “I can help Will because he’s never been to Monaco. I’ve done two practice sessions and four years here already. It’s a great track with many challenges.” 00:49 ITW Jolyon PALMER – Renault Sport Formula One Team Driver In English “He is clever guy and can see what I’m doing.” 00:54 Voice over The two brothers are rookies in their championships. But each series comes with its own challenges. 01:06 ITW #14 Will PALMER (GBR – R-ace GP) In English “In Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, everyone is in the same car and only setups are adjustable. We’re on a level-playing field so it’s great for me because we can challenge for the top.” 01:23 ITW Jolyon PALMER – Renault Sport Formula One Team Driver In English “Will is younger, he’s got a lot more to learn and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 is a really good platform to do that.” 01:33 ITW Jolyon PALMER – Renault Sport Formula One Team Driver In English “In Formula One, you are in the public eye and you need to deliver straight away, so it’s a bit different there.” 01:46 ITW Jonathan PALMER – Former Formula One Driver In English “To have both sons racing at the same track makes it easier logistically. I can watch them both even if Will is at 08:00am.” 01:59 ITW Jonathan PALMER – Former Formula One Driver In English “It’s a huge pleasure to see how well Will and Jolyon get on. They are always chatting about things, almost in their own language. I’m a bit too old to understand what they’re saying in their jargon.” 02:13 Voice over But rivalry is never very far when you have two racers as sons. 02:26 ITW Jonathan PALMER – Former Formula One Driver In English “When they are driving one of my cars in one of my events then the rivalry is absolutely huge and the friendship breaks down a little bit.” 02:44 HIGHLIGHTS – MONACO QUALIFYING 02:52 Voice over Let’s get ready for the most important qualifying session of the year, given how difficult it is to overtake around Monaco.

  • Media Information
    PR Document 2020 Japanese Super Formula Championship Series Media Information August 27 2020 1 Super Formula : Then and Now In the 1950s, the Fédération Internationale de I’Automobile (FIA) launched the Drivers’ Championship to find the world’s fastest formula car drivers the purest form of racing machine. That ethos was passed on to all FIA national member organizations.Top-level formula motor racing has been held in Japan in various forms since 1973, when Formula 2000 was first launched. The competition evolved into Formula Two in 1978 and then Formula 3000 in 1987. Japan Race Promotion, Inc. (JRP) was established in 1995 and continued carrying the competition torch in 1996 under the name of Formula Nippon. In 2013, the name of the competition was changed again to Japanese Championship Super Formula and a bold plan was implemented to upgrade the race cars and lift the profile of the competition with the clear aim of spreading the appeal of Super Formula from Japan to other parts of Asia. Another hope was to turn the series into a third great open-wheel racing competition to go along with Formula One and IndyCar. The competition’s name was changed again in 2016 to Japanese Super Formula Championship. In 2017, BS Fuji began broadcasting live Super Formula races, giving many motorsport fans the chance to watch championship races on free-to-air television. In the early days, formula racing in Japan was led by top drivers such as Kunimitsu Takahashi, Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Satoru Nakajima, who later competed on the global stage in Formula One.
