We won in the very first grand prix in 1906 and, 110 years since then, our enthusiasm for motorsport burns as deep inside as ever. Today, Renault Sport leads all of our activities in both motorsport and our performance road cars. From the Renault Clio Cup, through the mighty 550hp R.S.01, Formula Renault 2.0, the all-electric Formula E up to our Formula One team, we have an undeniable passion for competition running through our veins. Renault’s name appears in the career history of so many great drivers. Half of the grid of the British Touring Car Championship started their career in the UK Clio Cup. Over half of the drivers on the current Formula One grid have raced in our championships. This passion for performance at the highest level translates into our sports road cars with today’s Clio Renault Sport and Mégane Renault Sport.

Information shown on the main dashboard display covers: • data for the main engine functions including oil temperature and brakes plus real-time engine performance data (torque, power) • transverse and longitudinal g-force • lap timer, with memory function • performance data, such as acceleration times The Renault Sport Monitor v2 also enables the driver to modify the throttle pedal mapping on Mégane and Clio Renault Sport*. With the 'Sport' mode selected in the Renault Sport Dynamic Management system there is a choice of five throttle settings (linear, normal, snow, sport and extreme). These will adapt the car’s acceleration characteristics to the conditions or to the driver’s demands.
