Communiqué De Presse 06 SEPTEMBRE 2015 Renault Sport and the ELMS join forces Via its popular and family friendly events, the World Series by Renault has offered spectators an unforgettable experience in the motor racing universe since 2005. Beginning in 2016, the enthusiastic and curious are in for more intense weekends thanks to the agreement between Renault Sport and the European Le Mans Series.

The Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 will represent the single­seaters, the Renault Sport Trophy for the GTS and the European Le Mans Series for Endurance. While they will share the bill at five meetings in 2016, each category will retain its identity and its specificities. Launched this season, the Renault Sport Trophy has already established itself as a new reference among feeder series’ towards the professional championships thanks to its extraordinary performance level and its ultra­competitiveness. An essential cornerstone of the Renault Sport strategy, the Formula Renault 2.0, which celebrates its 45th anniversary this year, has been the break out category for many future champions such as Alain Prost, Kimi Räikkönen, Lewis Hamilton, Felipe Massa, Valtteri Bottas, Romain Grosjean, Daniil Kvyat, Daniel Ricciardo and Carlos Sainz. The three International Formula Renault 2.0 series’ will reinforce their cooperation. The Eurocup, ALPS and NEC are working on complementary calendars to avoid date conflicts and allow drivers who have double programmes to accumulate the necessary points to validate their FIA super­license. The three categories will have a minimum seven events organized at Europe’s finest circuits, like Pau for the ALPS or Silverstone for the NEC. And for the first time in its long and rich history, the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 will be the curtain raiser for the Monaco F1 Grand Prix. Jean­Pascal Dauce, Renault Sport Technologies Director of Motorsport: “During a period of reconstruction for the feeder series’, we are thrilled to have concluded this agreement with the ELMS to organize our championships. After having collaborated by their side at several meetings the past two years, it was wise to take the plunge to offer varied events in as much for the spectators as for our competitors. This partnership will also offer a quality setting to the Formula Renault 2.0 and Renault Sport Trophy drivers in proposing race meetings at legendary circuits, including a number of F1 venues. A very good school for the young drivers who hope to reach motor racing’s most prestigious category.” Gérard Neveu, European Le Mans Series CEO said: “We are very happy to welcome the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Renault Sport Trophy which are joining us at the majority of the 2016 ELMS calendar and our thanks go to Renault Sport Technologies for their full support. The addition of these two high profile single seater and GT race series will enhance the popularity of the ELMS weekends. Formula Renault 2.0 has produced some great champions since the series began, including Porsche’s Brendon Hartley and Audi’s Filipe Albuquerque, both ELMS race winners. The new Renault Sport Trophy with the new RS01 is going to be an exciting new championship and will provide another route for drivers interested in GT racing. The combination of ELMS, Formula Renault and the Renault Sport Trophy will give the fans more reasons to join us for an exciting 2016 season.” Provisional 2016 Calendar*: 16/17 April 2016: Motorland Aragón (Renault Sport Trophy, Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0) 14/15 May 2016: Imola (Renault Sport Trophy, ELMS) 29 May 2016: Monaco (Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0) 16/17 July 2016: Red Bull Ring (Renault Sport Trophy, Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, ELMS) 27/28 August 2016: Circuit Paul Ricard (Renault Sport Trophy, Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, ELMS) 24/25 September 2016**: Spa­Francorchamps (Renault Sport Trophy, Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, ELMS) 22/23 October 2016: Estoril (Renault Sport Trophy, Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, ELMS) *Subject to FIA approval, additional dates will be announced soon **Subjet to confirmation FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: RENAULT PRESS CONTACT: +33 1 76 84 63 36 Websites: www.media.renault.com ­ www.group.renault.com PRESS CONTACT RENAULT SPORT TECHNOLOGIES Marie­Hélène de Rabaudy Mobile : +33 622 571 901 marie­helene.de­[email protected] renaultsport.com media.renaultsport.com Pour Plus D'informations: Christophe DEVILLE Manager Campagne Communication Sport­Auto +33 (0)1 76 84 64 83 [email protected] Marie­Hélène DE RABAUDY Attachée de presse (Renault Sport Racing) marie­helene.de­[email protected] GROUPE RENAULT PRESS OFFICE Tel.: +33 (0)1 76 84 63 36 [email protected] Communiqué De Presse 06 SEPTEMBRE 2015 Renault Sport and the ELMS join forces Via its popular and family friendly events, the World Series by Renault has offered spectators an unforgettable experience in the motor racing universe since 2005.

    2020 Formula 1 Heineken Portuguese Grand Prix

    2020 Formula 1 Heineken Portuguese Grand Prix, Sunday Renault DP World F1 Team scored six points from the Heineken Portuguese Grand Prix with Esteban Ocon eighth and Daniel Ricciardo ninth at the first race in Portugal for 24 years. The double points finish means the team moves onto 120 points to remain fifth in the Constructors’ Championship and six points from third place. An action-packed race start saw Daniel move up to eighth after an early battle with the Red Bull of Alexander Albon, whilst Esteban was caught in a melee for the final points scoring position. As predicted, light rain was ever present during the race, but it was never heavy enough to alter proceedings. With grip levels consistently low, Daniel was the first to box with his Soft tyres wearing down rapidly forcing him to pit on lap 14 for fresh Mediums. With Daniel dropping towards the rear of the field having pitted early, Esteban - on the alternate strategy - completed 53 laps on his Medium tyres and was the last to make a first stop. By the time of his stop, Daniel, had scythed his way through the field with others stopping and was safely inside the top ten and in a battle for eighth with Sebastian Vettel. A slightly slow stop for Esteban meant he re-joined just ahead of his teammate, and despite having strong pace on the Softs for the final fifteen laps he was unable to make any major inroads on the cars ahead. Esteban crossed the finish line in eighth position, with Daniel just behind in ninth making it a double-points finish for the team.

    Communiqué De Presse 12 AVRIL 2015 Chinese Grand Prix race report Today’s Chinese Grand Prix came to a disappointing conclusion with just one Renault­ powered car collecting points. Infiniti Red Bull Racing driver Daniel Ricciardo finished in ninth position, having recovered from a slow start off the line. Scuderia Toro Rosso passed the flag in 14th position with Carlos Sainz. Key race points: Daniel Ricciardo had a very slow start from seventh on the grid and dropped back to P17 at the end of the first lap. Despite setting a good pace, the Australian was caught in traffic and progress through the field was tricky. After a two stop race he finished in ninth. Daniil Kvyat retired on lap 16 with an ICE failure. Scuderia Toro Rosso’s Max Verstappen put in another fighting performance, overtaking multiple cars throughout the race. The Dutchman looked set for eighth position but just two laps from the end stopped suddenly on the pit straight with an ICE problem. Team­mate Carlos Sainz enjoyed a good start, but spun on the second lap and dropped down the order. A reported gearbox problem mid race caused a momentary loss of power but heavy traffic made it difficult to make an impression on the field. The Spaniard came home in 14th. Rémi Taffin, Director of Operations: We had a number of issues in China and did not give the drivers the equipment they needed. We developed a car system problem in Qualifying on Daniel’s car so we changed the ICE as a precaution. Then we had two unforeseen failures in the race.

    Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin Evaluating 17- and 18-Inch Tyres

    Clermont-Ferrand (France), October 31, 2014 Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin evaluating 17- and 18-inch tyres Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin share the same vision that motorsport permits innovative technologies to be fostered in a competitive environment with a view to achieving closer ties with the technologies that are available to the motoring public. Accordingly, the two partners are currently exploring the feasibility of switching to 18- and 17-inch tyres for the Formula Renault 3.5 Formula Renault 2.0 championships respectively from 2016. An initial test session based on Formula Renault 3.5 cars was carried out at Valencia, Spain, followed by a second featuring Formula Renault 2.0 cars at Barcelona, again in Spain. Given the positive results achieved at these tests, Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin are pleased to announce their intention to pursue this joint-development programme, and further sessions are planned over the months ahead. Since January, the collaboration between Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin has enabled the two companies to collect a significant amount of data after completing several hundred kilometres in testing. The two entities are carefully studying the results of this groundwork in order to obtain a thorough understanding of the repercussions any changes in tyre dimensions might have for the drivers, as well as in terms of grip and suspension performance. As far as factors such as top speed, road holding, tyre wear and the wear of other components are concerned, the early conclusions are positive. Despite requiring a certain number of small modifications, the cars feature a more modern look and benefit from enhanced cornering performance.

    Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance".
