The creation of the World Series by Renault in 2005 marked an important stage in the history of Renault Sport. This completely new meeting concept, combining top class motorsport action with attractions and events for all the family proved to be an immediate success, attracting almost 1,200,000 spectators in its first two year.
Top class motorsport action
Created as a result of the merger of the Eurocup Formula Renault V6 and the World Series by Nissan, the World Series Formula Renault 3.5 is the flagship category of the World Series by Renault meetings. All thirty drivers behind the wheel of the 425bhp single-seater have just one thing in mind: to make it into Formula 1 and emulate the success achieved by the 2005 champion Robert Kubica.
Considered to be the best entry-level single-seater, Formula Renault 2.0 is also to be seen in action at the World Series meetings in the Eurocup FR2.0. The most talented young drivers from all around the world fight it out in an extremely competitive, high-quality championship. For the best, the future will be a move up to Formula Renault 3.5.
Specially designed for the World Series by Renault meetings, the Eurocup Mégane Trophy features some fantastic 330bhp cars that are somewhat reminiscent of Germany’s famous DTM touring cars.The championship is also highly competitive, since the best drivers tend to have previous experience in single-seater racing.
Formula Renault 2.0, Formula Renault 1.6 or Clio Cup national championship races complete the racing schedule at each meeting.
F1: the star attraction!
The World Series by Renault meetings give spectators a unique opportunity to admire the 2006 World Championship-winning R26. After seeing it up close in the paddock, they can hear the deafening noise of the V8 engine during on-track demonstrations.
Young and old alike also have the chance to get involved in the F1 action, thanks to attractions such as the Pit Stop challenge or the driving simulators.
