Welcome to Circuit Paul Ricard for your Renault Sport Series magazine.” 00:24 POSTCARD & CIRCUIT MAP 00:25 Voice over The final leg of the 2016 season gets under way at Paul Ricard, with the Renault Sport Series returning to the south of France for the first time since 2014. Built in 1970, the historic venue hosted 14 French Grands Prix before major renovation works. Now a state-of-the-art circuit, the track boasts a multitude of layouts, the longest measuring in at 5.861km with the famous Mistral Straight and Signes corner. 01:05 FEATURE: TRACK WALK – ON RECCE 01:16 ITW #11 Sacha FENESTRAZ – Tech1 Racing In French “The track walk is very important to take your marks, spot the braking points, see where to hit the apex. You also check whether there have been changes compared to the previous year or to pre-season testing here at Paul Ricard.” 01:35 ITW Arnaud CHOLLEY – Sacha FENESTRAZ’ engineer In French “Last winter, the temperatures were around 15˚C in the air and 20˚C on track while we expect to be over 30˚C this weekend. We’ll have to adjust our running programme because when it’s hot you can do less laps because of tyre wear.” 01:56 ITW #9 Dorian BOCCOLACCI – Tech1 Racing In French “At Tech1 Racing, we are four drivers with Sacha FENESTRAZ, Gabriel AUBRY, Hugo DE SADELEER and I. During the track walk, we go with our four engineers and each engineer works with his driver. My engineer is Adrien BEURDELEY.” 02:16 ITW Adrien BEURDELEY – Dorian BOCCOLACCI’s engineer In French “What you say during a track walk will depend on the driver you are working with. Generally you team up with one for a full season. Dorian already knows Paul Ricard so I’ll focus on his strengths and weaknesses, reminding him what he did well and what needs improving.” 02:43 ITW #12 Gabriel AUBRY – Tech1 Racing In French “Here is our driver’s book, it’s a very important document. We always refer to it. Inside is information we use ahead of the race. We talk about the best lines, how to tackle the corners right. It’s crucial to work before coming to the circuit rather when you get on site.” 03:10 ITW Arnaud CHOLLEY – Sacha FENESTRAZ’ engineer In French “We talk about the racing lines indeed. The idea is to remind the driver the essential instructions so it becomes automatic for him in the car: which gear he should be in approaching this corner, which gear to use through the corner, where to put the power down.” 03:29 ITW Arnaud CHOLLEY – Sacha FENESTRAZ’ engineer In French “We are allowed to record videos during testing. Then we use these to show the driver the best way to take the corner.” 03:44 ITW #9 Dorian BOCCOLACCI – Tech1 Racing In French “Of course sometimes, we have a bit of fun but only while on the straight lines where we have plenty of time. But then we become conscientious again as we approach the following corner. We get back in the groove. The track walk lasts for nearly 1h30 so we stay focussed in the corners while we loosen up a bit on the straights.” 04:14 HIGHLIGHTS – EUROCUP FORMULA RENAULT 2.0 RACE 1 04:19 Voice over Let’s get under way with the first race of Eurocup. 04:25 Race start Great start from #14 Will PALMER (GBR – R-ace GP). P2 on the grid, the rookie takes the lead from pole-sitter #22 Harrison SCOTT (GBR – AVF by Adrián Vallés). Championship leader #2 Lando NORRIS (GBR – Josef Kaufmann Racing) stays third. 04:44 Voice over Intense opening lap as #22 SCOTT overtakes #14 PALMER to reclaim the lead on Mistral straight. 05:02 Voice over Contact between #6 Bruno BAPTISTA (BRA – Fortec Motorsports) and #1 Jehan DARUVALA (IND – Josef Kaufmann Racing). 05:12 Voice over While #11 Sacha FENESTRAZ (FRA – Tech 1 Racing) and #3 Robert SHWARTZMAN (RUS – Josef Kaufmann Racing) fight for P5, #12 Gabriel AUBRY (FRA – Tech 1 Racing) tries to sneak in but ends up losing one place. The Frenchman will then hit #7 Nikita TROITSKIY (RUS – Fortec Motorsports) and has to pit. 05:50 Voice over In front, #2 NORRIS pushes hard and tries everything he can to get past #22 SCOTT, but to no avail. Back-to-back win for the AVF driver who takes victory number three this season, 0.152s ahead of the championship leader. 06:27 GFX Paul Ricard Race 1 Classification First podium for rookie #14 PALMER. 06:40 ITW Harrison SCOTT (GBR – AVF by Adrián Vallés) In English “Really tricky race. With the temperatures here, the tyres go off massively. I tried to find the balance between putting in quick laps and not ruining the tyres. As the race went on, Lando NORRIS caught up, I then opened a gap but he caught up again. Overall, I’m very happy to get my third win of the year for myself and AVF. A brilliant weekend with pole position and the race win, I could not ask for much more.” 07:09 Podium celebrations #22 Harrison SCOTT (GBR – AVF by Adrián Vallés) #2 Lando NORRIS (GBR – Josef Kaufmann Racing) #14 Will PALMER (GBR – R-ace GP) #14 WILL PALMER (GBR – R-ACE GP) 07:16 JINGLE OUT 07:19 END OF PART 1 PART 2 00:00 JINGLE RENAULT SPORT TROPHY 00:05 FEATURE: FAMILY BUSINESS 00:17 ITW #21 Pieter SCHOTHORST (NED – Equipe Verschuur) In English “Equipe Verschuur is a great team. I’ve raced with them for many years and feel very much at home here. The guys are doing an incredible job. They work hard, there are dedicated and they enjoy success. They are committed to every session and want to perform all the time, which is key.” 00:39 ITW Frans VERSCHUUR – Equipe Verschuur Team Owner In English “We’ve been working with Renault since 1988 so I think we’re one of the oldest teams cooperating with them. We’ve always had great efforts from Renault and I like every category and car they’ve created.” 00:56 ITW #21 Pieter SCHOTHORST (NED – Equipe Verschuur) In English “The season is very successful so far. The weekend in Austria was a perfect match between the car being improved as I like it and myself improving as I needed to. I made mistakes in the opening weekends and everything came together at the Red Bull Ring.” 01:18 ITW #21 Pieter SCHOTHORST (NED – Equipe Verschuur) In English “To race with my father as a team-mate is incredible. We have a lot of fun together. I try to improve his driving; he’s still trying to improve mine but I’m not sure if it’s working but, for sure, we’re having fun and it’s a great experience.” 01:36 ITW #21 Jeroen SCHOTHORST (NED – Equipe Verschuur) In English “It’s fantastic to race with my son Pieter. Last year, I was with Steijn. It’s a great family affair but, at the same time, it’s also serious business as we want to be very competitive and get the best out of it.” 01:57 ITW #21 Pieter SCHOTHORST (NED – Equipe Verschuur) In English “Because I know my father very well, I think it’s different from other team- mates. I can speak to him more clearly and honestly and the same for him with me. That helps for both sides to improve each other.” 02:12 Voice over Pieter’s brother Steijn SCHOTHORST came very close to winning the Renault Sport Trophy Pro title last year, just missing out in the season finale. 02:27 ITW Frans VERSCHUUR – Equipe Verschuur Team Owner In English “It was a bit our mistake in the last race that Steijn was not champion, plus we had a little bit of bad luck but that’s why we are more aggressive than last year and really want to win. We are putting more effort in the car, the people, the drivers. Everyone is motivated 100%.” 02:56 ITW #21 Jeroen SCHOTHORST – Equipe Verschuur In English “The fact that Steijn just missed the championship last year adds to the excitement and Pieter is determined to clinch the title for sure.” 03:10 ITW #21 Pieter SCHOTHORST (NED – Equipe Verschuur) In English “The mindset for the second half of the season is clear. We need to win the championship. We are fully focussed the whole team and I, and there is only one goal: to win every race from now on.” 03:26 HIGHLIGHTS – RENAULT SPORT TROPHY RACES 03:31 Voice over You know the drill by now in the Renault Sport Trophy: one weekend, three races and loads of high-octane, door-banging action.
