World Series By Renault NURBURGRING 2009

Championships: Top level racing 

  • Formula Renault 3.5 Series

The red carpet to F1 racing, this single-seater has all the aerodynamics and advanced technology of its big sister (sequential gears on the steering wheel, carbon brakes, etc.). Developed from the Renault Nissan V6 3.5 L 24V, the engine boasts top power of 500 hp.

 

The FR 3.5 Series is an international meet. 26 drivers compete in 17 races. Each meet comprises a maximum of two 45-minute races (reverse grid for Race 1 and compulsory pit stop in Race 2). This high-level championship is an opener to the Monaco Grand Prix. The winner is trialed in the ING – Renault F1 Team. There’s a special ranking for the championship rookies.

 

    • Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0

A high-tech single-seater, which leads the global market with more than 850 units sold since 2000, the FR2.0 is an excellent training vehicle. It sets young – and even very young – drivers on the road to going pro: sequential gears, data acquisition, advanced mechanical settings and aerodynamics.

 

Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa, Lewis Hamilton, Robert Kubica and Heikki Kovalainen all made their mark in the FR 2.0 before dazzling crowds in F1!

 

Worthy of a world championship grid, the Eurocup offers a top-level sport with 38 drivers at the start in 2009: a format with two 25-minute races per event and 1 lap where the best drivers from national championships compete. Access to the Test FR 3.5 Series for the first three drivers as a bonus.

 

  • Europcup Megane Trophy

An exclusive, high-performance car, this sports hatchback has been revamped with wider tracks and scissor doors. Based on a tubular chassis, the Renault Nissan V6 3.5 24V engine develops almost 360 hp.

  

This championship with a mini endurance format (two 40-minute races + 1 lap with a pit stop every weekend) offers the 26 drivers maximum driving time. A special ranking is reserved for gentleman drivers.
