Dear Friends,

For more than a century, Renault has been involved in motorsports. Renault has won in all the disciplines, including Formula One, Endurance, rally, and so on. Renault has also given birth to competitions that today are the reference point for many drivers, including young drivers: Formula Renault and the Clio and Mégane Cups.

In this extremely competitive environment, Renault has always adapted and evolved to design and produce platforms that can promote and enhance the brand both on the track and on the road in the best manner possible.

Customer competition is an asset for Renault because it is the expression of the link that exists between the road car and the race cars but also the expression of our savoir-faire.

The Clio Cup, Formula Renault and Clio R3T are today powerful commitments which are important to harness. As motor racing evolves, so Renault evolves and will continue to evolve to particulate with modern and competitive vehicles to engender strong driving emotions to both professionals and amateurs.

This year again, we have had fine championships that continue to demonstrate the competitiveness and appeal of our products.I want to thank all of our collaborators, partners, drivers and fans who continue make us proud all over the world both on the track and in rallying.

HANDLING THE PRESSURE OF COMPETITION, UNDERSTANDING HOW A SINGLE-SEATER WORKS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF IT: IN FORMULA RENAULT THE DRIVERS HAVE BEEN LEARNING THE BASICS OF THEIR TRADE SINCE 1971!

Formula France was created in 1968. This single-seater competition category featured the gearbox and engine from the Renault 8 Gordini in order to be affordable and allow drivers to move on to F3. Three years later, the Critérium was taken over by the Renault Sport Promotion service.

Renamed Formula Renault, the discipline took off in 1971. The following year, the engine from the Renault 12 Gordini was used and success was immediate. The format was exported across Europe and Formula Renault became a vital step on the motor racing ladder. From Jacques Laffite to Jean Ragnotti, Alain Prost, Felipe Massa, Kimi Räikkönen and Lewis Hamilton, many budding champions cut their teeth in the category.

In 2000, Formula Renault experienced a turning point in adopting a spec-chassis regulation with carbon tubs and sequential gearboxes. From its introduction, the Formula Renault 2000 was adopted by several national and regional championships.

The creation of the World Series by Renault in 2005 offered a terrific boost for Formula Renault, as a support category of the Formula Renault 3.5 Series, which was back then a springboard towards F1 and other professional championships. As relevant as ever, Formula Renault

has adapted from 2016 to the new hierarchy on the ladder to F1, without its success ever being denied.

Ideally situated between karting, F4 and F3, Formula Renault continues to train the champions of tomorrow through an extremely competitive universe.

FORMULA RENAULT EUROCUP 2017

A HIGH-OCTANEVINTAGE!WITH AN AVERAGE OF 30 DRIVERS PER MEETING, 7 POLE-SITTERS, 8 RACE WINNERS AND 12 DIFFERENT PODIUM FINISHERS, THE 2017 FORMULA RENAULT EUROCUP SEASON LIVED UP TO ALL ITS PROMISE WITH AN UNPRECEDENTED DEPTH! LET’S HAVE A LOOK BACK AT A CAMPAIGN THAT WILL REMAIN IN THE ANNALS OF THE CATEGORY.

01 MONZA For the season opener, the suspense was on the boil among the contenders. The Italian round delivered some insight into what was to come in 2017. R-ace GP came out swinging with Robert Shwartzman and Will Palmer each taking a win ahead of Sacha Fenestraz (Josef Kaufmann Racing). These three would go on to battle all year long!

02 SILVERSTONE In Great Britain, Will Palmer and Robert Shwartzman repeated their wins! Despite taking pole, Max Defourny (R-ace GP) had a weekend to forget and his team-mates made the most of it to pull away in the general classification.

03 PAU After Robert Shwartzman won race one in the streets of Pau, R-ace GP’s streak of five victories came to an end. On Sunday, Alex Peroni (Fortec Motorsports) took his first win ahead of Sacha Fenestraz. In finishing third, Robert Shwartzman took the points lead in the Formula Renault Eurocup.

04 MONACO Will Palmer responded in winning race one in the Principality. His drive saw him retake the championship lead. The following day, Sacha Fenestraz took his first success of the season, one year after his maiden triumph on the very same circuit, which is the curtain raiser of the most prestigious Grand Prix on the calendar.

05 HUNGARORING After a month break, Will Palmer struggled while rookie driver Daniel Ticktum (Arden Motorsport) took the win. Gabriel Aubry (Tech 1 Racing) then scored two wins, helped by the jump start of Sacha Fenestraz in the final race of the weekend. In parallel, Will Palmer returned to form to hold on to his championship lead.

06 NÜRBURGRING Inconspicuous in Hungary, Robert Shwartzman was back on form in Germany with the win in race one, which put him back on top of the championship standings. Winner of race two, which was run in wet conditions, Sacha Fenestraz closed the points gap because the Russian SMP Racing driver lost five positions when he went straight off the track on the final lap.

07 RED BULL RING The Formula Renault Eurocup moved on to Austria to end an intense month of July. Max Fewtrell (Tech 1 Racing) got past Max Defourny at the start to win his first race ahead of Sacha Fenestraz. Now the points leader, the Frenchman won the following day. His two rivals made contact, leaving him with a 27-point lead.

08 PAUL RICARD The return to action at Circuit Paul Ricard was a spectacular weekend with two duels composed of Sacha Fenestraz and Robert Shwartzman. The two came together on the final lap in race one and the victory went to Max Defourny. In another twist the following day, Robert Shwartzman lost the win to Sacha Fenestraz after the post-race technical checks!

09 SPA In Belgium, Sacha Fenestraz won in foggy conditions before seeing Gabriel Aubry slipstream to steal the win in race two. While R-ace GP clinched its first team title, Sacha Fenestraz would have to wait. Nonetheless, he took a huge step towards the title on Sunday in holding off his lone remaining rival, Will Palmer.

10 BARCELONA Robert Shwartzman bounced back to win the first two races. This didn’t inhibit Sacha Fenestraz from scoring the final points he needed to win the title. Free from pressure, he concluded his season in style with a victory! In the rookie classification, Renault Sport Academy driver Max Fewtrell took the honours ahead of Daniel Ticktum, who would go on to win the Macau Grand Prix!

8 | DECEMBER 2017

THE RECENT WINNER OF THE FORMULA RENAULT EUROCUP, SACHA FENESTRAZ JOINS THE LIKES OF PROST, MASSA, HARTLEY, BOTTAS, VANDOORNE, GASLY AND NORRIS ON THE CATEGORY’S LIST OF CHAMPIONS.

Born in Annecy, Sacha Fenestraz was destined to reach the pinnacle of Europe. The latest rising star in motorsports reached it at the age of just 18, after a long journey that has also led him to frequent the summits of the Andes!

When he was only a few months old, his family moved to Argentina. Growing up with a mother who is a professional helicopter pilot - and having competed in the Dakar two times! - and a family that frequented the local karting circuits for fun, Sacha was stung by the motorsport virus at the tender age of three.

He raced for ten seasons in karting on the South American circuits before coming to Europe. In 2015, he joined the Auto Sport Academy to participate in the French F4 Championship.

Despite his lack of experience and his late start, Sacha surprised in

becoming the French F4 Junior Champion in his first year.

In 2016, he moved up to Formula Renault with Tech 1 Racing and won in the streets of Monaco in the curtain-raiser for the most prestigious Grand Prix on the calendar! He then won two more times at Hockenheim and Estoril, as well as scoring podium finishes at technical tracks such as Monza and Spa-Francorchamps. It was a promising start that convinced him to switch to Josef Kaufmann Racing with a clear goal of emulating Lando Norris to continue his progression towards the summit.

A front-runner at the season opener at Monza, Sacha Fenestraz was immediately among the title contenders. Accumulating big points while the R-ace GP drivers were winning everything in sight, the Frenchman waited until Monaco to take his first victory of the season, just like in 2016!

Combining performance and consistency, Sacha Fenestraz took the lead in the general classification before the summer break. With 9 pole positions, 7 wins, 5 fastest laps and 17 podium finishes, the young hopeful wrapped up the title during the final meeting in Barcelona.

Already a winner at Pau and Monaco during his early career, Sacha took on another challenge in taking part in the famous Macau Grand Prix in the wake of his title. In his second weekend in an F3 car, he finished seventh overall and second among the rookies and once again showed his talent for adapting.

If the fine promise materializes through the same application and determination that he has shown at every turn this year, his 2018 season should allow him to brilliantly represent the Renault Sport Academy!

FEWTRELL TOOK IT TO THE MAX

SIXTH AND ROOKIE OF THE YEAR THIS SEASON IN THE FORMULA REANULT EUROCUP, MAX FEWTRELL PROMISES TO RETURN NEXT YEAR WITH JUST ONE GOAL… THE “REAL” TITLE!

Born in England prior to growing up Singapore, Max Fewtrell cut his teeth in karting before moving on to cars via the MRF Challenge and British FIA F4 Championship, which he won by keeping a cool head at the conclusion of a suspense-filled finale.

Spotted by the Renault Sport Acade-my and entrusted to Tech 1 Racing, Max didn’t waste time in showing his speed and ease behind the wheel. Winner in the rookie category in the first race at Monza, the Englishman did it again at Silverstone and then at Pau. After an off weekend in Monaco, Max bounced back in Budapest then at the Red Bull Ring, where he won ahead of Sacha Fenestraz!

A model of consistency throughout the year, he only retired once this season and scored points in 19 of 23 races! After a final rookie success at Spa-Francorchamps, Max didn’t flinch in Barcelona.

Not the chattiest lad in the paddock, the Birmingham native is concise, precise and determined both with his engineers and in front of the media. Once the title was his in Catalonia, Renault Sport Academy’s protégé had only one thing on his mind: prepare for 2018 as fast as possible to win ‘the real title’.

Meticulous in his preparation and calculator on the track, Max Fewtrell will be a serious contender to succeed Sacha Fenestraz.

A fIrst for R-ace GP!

Competing in Formula Renault since 2011, the team created and run by Thibaut de Mérindol and Cyril Comte won its first title in the category!

Very quickly, the two former SG Formula men had a meteoric rise with their team needing only a month to take its first pole position and only three to finish on the podium!

In 2012, R-ace GP raised its game again in winning with Nyck de Vries. While the Dutchman and his team mates,

Pierre Gasly and Andrea Pizzitola, went on to win titles in the World Series by Renault, only Andrea Pizzitola obtained his championship in the Renault Sport Trophy with the men from Fontenay-le-Comte.

Not long after a constant reassessment was undertaken to aim for the top, Thibaut de Mérindol and Cyril Comte saw their team rise in stature in taking Esteban Ocon, Aurélien Panis and Ukyo Sasahara to the top step of the podium. The 2016 season marked a new phase as Max Defourny became the main rival to Lando Norris.

The consecration in Formula Renault Eurocup came in 2017. With a strong quartet consisting of Will Palmer, Robert Shwartzman, Max Defourny and Raúl Guzmán, the French outfit scored 10 wins, 10 pole positions, 13 fastest laps and 33 podium finishes to win the team title. Success enjoys company and R-ace GP achieved the double in Formula Renault NEC.

For 2018, the competition is on notice: R-ace GP is setting its sights on the drivers’ title!

“The level was incredibly high this season and the Formula Renault Eurocup confirmed its stature as one of the most competitive categories. At the beginning of the year, many thought that seven or eight drivers had a shot at the title! R-ace GP got off to a flying start to the season, but Sacha Fenestraz was extremely consistent to win despite some snags in Budapest and at Paul Ricard. As a future driver of the Renault Sport Academy, we are counting on him to continue to exhibit the Renault Sport colours on the top step of the podium in 2018!”

BENYAHIA MAKES HISTORY VERY CONSISTENT DURING THE FORMULA RENAULT NEC SEASON, MICHAEL BENYAHIA IS THE FIRST AFRICAN LICENSED DRIVER TO WIN A FORMULA RENAULT TITLE.

The Moroccan driver caught the eye of observers by finishing third in the 2016 French F4 Championship. His results and past in karting made him the ideal ambassador for the first Marrakech ePrix at the beginning of the year.

Quickly recruited by Venturi as a development driver, Michael Benyahia continued his ascent in Formula Renault with an amazing run. At the end of an incredibly competitive title battle, his robust consistency saw him edge team-mates Gilles Magnus and Bartłomiej Mirecki with just four podium results!

Both R-ace GP’s spearheads, as well as Théo Coicaud and Charles Milesi, also brought the French team the team title to secure a clean sweep.

FORMULA RENAULT NEC & ASIA

LEONG, A BLOOMING TALENT AT JUST 16 YEARS OF AGE, CHARLES LEONG IS THE YOUNGEST DRIVER TO WIN THE TITLE IN THE HISTORY OF ASIAN FORMULA RENAULT.

With four wins and nine podium results in ten starts, Macau’s Charles Leong clinched the title with one round to spare. Perfect timing that also allowed him to claim an unprecedented double by also winning the FIA Chinese Formula F4 Championship!

Second in the general classification, Daniel Lu won the Road To Champion initiative put in place by Renault Sport Racing, Dongfeng Renault Automotive Company and Formula

Racing Development to help Chinese hopefuls. The two drivers were also on hand for the Formula Renault Eurocup rookie test held in late October at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Undefeated since 2015, BlackArts Racing Team doubled up in Class B with Hua Miao getting better from rival Grace Gui. Next year, the Chinese squad will take on the European teams in the Formula Renault NEC!

RENAULT SPORT ACADEMY

FIVE DEGREES FOR THE ACADEMYLAUNCHED IN 2016 BY RENAULT SPORT RACING AND RENAULT SPORT FORMULA ONE TEAM TO DETECT AND TRAIN ITS FUTURE F1 DRIVERS, THE RENAULT SPORT ACADEMY WOUNTED ON SIX DRIVERS THIS YEAR. WITH FIVE TITLES, THE ASSESSMENT IS MORE THAN POSITIVE!

As Oliver Rowland became the Renault Sport Formula One Team development driver, Jack Aitken was promoted to spearhead this second promotion under the aegis of Mia Sharizman.

Continuing in GP3, the 2015 Formula Renault Eurocup winner relied on his speed and experience to establish himself as one of the main contenders for the title. Playing an essential role in the new Teams’ title won by ART Grand Prix, the Anglo-Korean got the chance to test an F1 car for the first time during a day of testing at Jerez.

In the Formula Renault Eurocup, the trio of Sun Yue Yang, Max Fewtrell and Jarno Opmeer were not to be outdone. Extremely consistent and ahead of a number of second-year drivers, Max Fewtrell won the rookie title.

Just like Sun Yue Yang, Christian Lundgaard and Marta García completed their transition to cars. The Dane confirmed all the promise put in him in becoming the first Renault

Sport Academy champion with his titles in F4 NEZ and in F4 Spain, where his performances and those of Marta García contributed to the team title won by MP Motorsport.

IN THE RENAULT SPORT RANGE, THE CLIO R.S. SYMBOLIZES, BY ITSELF, THE EXISTING LINK BETWEEN STANDARD VEHICLES AND MOTOR RACING COMPETITION. DEVELOPED ON THIS BASE, THE CLIO CUP AND CLIO R3T BENEFIT FROM THE QUALITIES OF THE BASE MODEL.

CLIO R3TResponding to the FIA R3 regulations, the rally version of the CLIO R.S. is at home both on asphalt and gravel. Once the engine is tuned, the power output reaches 242hp, with 470Nm of torque from 3200rpm. The standard gearbox is replaced by a Sadev sequential six-speed gearbox incorporating a limited-slip self-locking differential. To allow multiple settings, the drivetrain, shock absorbers, and brake system of the CLIO R3T are also exclusive.

CLIO R.S. TROPHY 220 EDCAcclaimed for its exceptional performance level and its luxurious equipment, the CLIO R.S. is a pleasure for driving enthusiasts. With its lowered chassis and its 220hp 1.6L

CLIO CUPLaunched simultaneously with the CLIO R.S. in 2013, the circuit version is used in several single-make championships around the world. The CLIO CUP has all the qualities of the production model, beginning with its 220hp engine. Like with the CLIO R3T, the sequential gearbox comes from Sadev, with steering wheel paddle shifters. The adjustable suspension is exclusive, as are the oversized brakes. The CLIO CUP is recognisable straight away thanks to its rear wing, which completes the downforce generated by the diffuser.

50 YEARS OLDAND NOT A WRINKLE!CREATOR OF SINGLE-MAKE CUPS MORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO; RENAULT SPORT RACING CONTINUES TO PROVIDE ITS SAVOIR-FAIRE AND EXPERTISE TO DRIVERS VIA A MODERN, EFFICIENT AND ECONOMIC PRODUCT.

Creator of the racing cars bearing his name, Amédée Gordini developed a radical version of the Dauphine in the late 50s. The successful association between Renault and Gordini led to the creation of the legendary R8, R12 and R17 Gordini that exceled on all types of terrain.

In 1966, the Renault R8 Gordini’s massive popularity drove the brand to build a competition version. The Renault 8 Gordini Cup, which is a pioneer in promotion categories, launched the careers of Bernard Darniche, Jean-Pierre Jabouille, René Metge, Jean-Pierre Jarier, Jean-Luc Thérier and Jean Ragnotti.

The success story continued with the introduction of the Renault 12 Gordini in 1971. Next came the Renault 5 French Cup via the Renault 5 LS, TL TS, Alpine, Alpine Turbo and GT Turbo. Track versions also existed of the Renault Spider and Renault Mégane.

In 1991 came the introduction of the Renault Clio Cup France. Assuring a continuing presence of Renault Sport on the European and worldwide circuits, the four generations of the Clio Cup were known for their performance, reliability and affordability.

Appearing in 2013, the most recent to receive the qualities of Renault, the Clio R.S. 200 EDC has raised the bar in terms of saloon car categories.

CLIO CUP FRANCE 2017

01 NOGARORight from the start of the season, the show was on! While the first pole of the year going to Junior driver Dorian Guldenfels (Raiwoit Racing) was surprise, it was nonetheless Thibault Bossy (TB2S) who took the win. The following day, the local driver did it again in beating another pole winner, Benoît Castagné (Raiwoit Racing).

THEY ARE ALL GREAT... IN 2017, THE FIGHT TO SUCCEED ERIC TRÉMOULET WAS WIDE OPEN, LAST YEAR’S CHAMPION HAVING DECIDED NOT TO GO FOR A THIRD NATIONAL TITLE. TRUE TO ITS REPUTATION, THE RENAULT CLIO CUP FRANCE WAS PARTICULARLY COMPETITIVE WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL ON TRACK SHOW, HEROIC COMEBACKS AND COUNTLESS DOOR TO DOOR BATTLES!

02 PAUAfter skipping the first meeting of the year, Nicolas Milan (Milan Compétition) and Sebastian Bleekemolen (Team Bleekemolen) made triumph returns at Pau. The two street racing specialists shared the laurels in two epic races. With two podium finishes, Benoît Castagné moved to the top of the general classification.

03 SPAOn the legendary Belgian track, the contenders began to pull away from a field that grew in number with the presence of the Clio Cup Central Europe. Marc Guillot (Milan Compétition) won for the first time of the season ahead of Benoît Castagné, who came back to win the following day ahead of Guillot and Jérémy Sarhy (Vic’Team).

CLIO CUP FRANCE 2017

04 DIJONSkies opened up in Dijon and local driver Marc Guillot was the class of the field at his home circuit. The two-time winner of the Renault Clio Cup France won both races ahead of team mate Nicolas Milan, Thibaut Bossy, Benoît Castagné and Dorian Guldenfels. At the end of the Dijon meeting, the Burgundy driver had a one-point lead in the championship from Benoît Castagné.

05 MAGNY-COURSThe penultimate round of the season was another weekend dominated by Milan Compétition. Nicolas Milan and Marc Guillot scored two one-two finishes with each scoring a victory. Benoît Castagné retired while his rival took his seventh consecutive podium result. Dorian Guldenfels clinched the 2017 title in the Junior class!

06 PAUL RICARDThere was plenty at stake at the finale! Nicolas Milan put in two strong comeback drives on his way to victory. Fourth and fifth in the two races, Marc Guillot scored the points needed to win his third Clio Cup France title despite the efforts of Benoît Castagné, who finished the season third overall. In the Gentleman Driver category, Mickael Carree (T2CM) won the title as did Milan Compétition in the teams classification!

“The Renault Clio Cup France delivered another memorable season. We saw some remarkable performances from the category leaders. Marc Guillot won another title, but had to do it against stout resistance from his own team mate and the perseverance shown by Benoît Castagné. Junior driver, Dorian Guldenfels showed that he will be one two watch closely in the future, while the victory for the small Mickael Carree run team perfectly embodies the spirit of the Clio Cup and customer competitions organised by Renault Sport Racing. As long as we offer equal equipment and unfailing technical fairness to everyone, everyone can succeed!”

Jean-Pascal Dauce Director of Customer Competition Programmes

THEY ARE ALSO CHAMPIONS...

DORIAN GULDENFELSDorian Guldenfels (Raiwoit Racing) made quite a splash in his debut, taking his maiden pole position and podium result in his first outing. Dominating the Junior category, the 20-year old hasn’t taken the same career path as his former karting rivals who today are knocking on the door of F1 (note: George Russell), but he hasn’t lost any of his talent!

MICKAEL CARREEStarting with practically nothing, Mickael Carree (T2CM) has made a place and a name for himself in the paddock for the past few years. In defeating Emmanuel Raffin and Stéphane Auriacombe, the driver from the Berry region won his first Gentleman title, which was the zenith of an extraordinary season for the small family structure from Argent-sur-Sauldre.

MILAN COMPÉTITIONSince 2007, Milan Compétition has dominated the French and European circuits. The first title for the Clermont-Dessous based team came in 2008. They took the driver and team titles from 2009 to 2012. They also won the Eurocup Cup in 2011, conquered Spain from 2012 to 2014, before two more doubles in France in 2014 and 2015! After a disappointing season last year in Renault, the re-conquest was soon spurred on by its driver-team manager and Marc Guillot!

CHAMPIONS

GUILLOTMAKES IT THREE31-YEAR OLD MARC GUILLOT TOOK HIS THIRD RENAULT CLIO CUP FRANCE CROWN. AFTER HIS TITLES IN 2012 AND 2015, THE FRENCHMAN CONSISTENTLY FINISHED ON THE PODIUM TO PULL AWAY FROM HIS RIVALS AND REWARDED ONCE AGAIN THE CONFIDENCE SHOWN IN HIM BY NICOLAS MILAN.

Marc Guillot has become a man everyone knows in the Renault Clio Cup France paddock over the past ten years. After his debut in 2005, Nicolas Milan took him under his wing in bringing him into the Milan Compétition team in 2008.

Success came swiftly as he won his first races before going on to finish third in the general classification. After a few outings in GT3 and the Porsche Carrera Cup, he returned to the Clio Cup in 2011.

Fifth in the Clio Cup Spain and the Eurocup Clio in 2011, he scored a resounding double the following year, winning both the Clio Cup France and Spain. His treble hopes were dashed when he was narrowly defeated by Oscar Nogues in the Eurocup Clio finale.

Despite an incredible season, Marc Guillot was without a programme for 2013. Nonetheless, the Burgundy native found the force to bounce back in entering the international final, organized to say good bye to the third generation of the Clio Cup.

At the Motorland Aragón circuit, the Frenchman used his experience, his guile and talent to take the honours and win a fourth generation Clio Cup. With this car, he won the 2014 Clio Cup Spain, then the 2015 Clio Cup France. This year, he steadily came on form to string together seven consecutive podium results and four wins.

Neither the return of his team mate, nor the efforts of Benoît Castagné could divert Marc Guillot, who came from a long way back to win his fifth Clio championship. Count on him to appreciate his triumph, because Marc Guillot knows better than anyone that nothing should ever be taken for granted!

on the roadOF SUCCESSFROM ITS ORIGINS, RENAULT HAS ALWAYS DEFIED THE CLOCK IN RALLY. AFTER NUMEROUS SUCCESSES ACHIEVED BY THE BRAND’S OFFICIAL DRIVERS, THE ACTIVITY HAS NOW TURNED TOWARDS THE CUSTOMERS.

Renault’s first major victory came in 1902, with the triumph of Marcel Renault on the Paris-Vienna. The route followed steep and winding roads and a terrible alpine pass. Won against rivals with more powerful cars, this success marked the birth of a very serious competitor in all motor racing disciplines.

In the 1930s, Renault produced the Nerva range and most notably the Nervasport, powered by an inline eight-cylinder engine and equipped with an aeronautic-inspired bodywork. The victories on the 1935 Monte-Carlo Rally and Liège-Rome-Liège were its biggest on-road wins.

After the war, Renault continued to triumph in rallying with the Dauphine, as Gilberte Thirion and Nadège Ferrier won the first-ever Corsica Rally in 1956. The car became even more

formidable when Amédée Gordini came on the scene. The victories kept coming with the Monte-Carlo in 1958, then three more wins on the Corsica Rally and Ivory Coast Rally…

The decades went by and nothing stopped the success of the French carmaker. Renault won the first-ever Constructors’ title in the 1973 World Rally Championship with the Berlinette A110. In 1977, Guy Fréquelin won the French Rally Championship with the Group 5 Alpine A310.

Nicknamed the “skateboard”, the R5 Alpine won acclaim on the 1978 Monte-Carlo when Ragnotti and Fréquelin finished on the podium behind the Porsche of Nicolas. During the R5 Turbo era, Ragnotti won the 1981 Monte-Carlo and the Corsica Rally in 1982 and 1985.

Following the prohibition of group B, Renault Sport continued on with the Group A R11 Turbo and the Group N Super Five GT Turbo, which won the World Championship in 1989 and 1990 with Alain Oreille. The story continued with the Clio Williams, then the Clio Maxi and the Maxi Mégane, which won the 1997 Corsica Rally with the late Philippe Bugalski.

After a short interruption, Renault returned with the Clio Super 1600s that dominated the JWRC and European Championship in 2003 and 2004. Subsequently, the activity moved toward competition-customers, with the introduction of a complete range based on the new FIA Group R regulations. Since 2014, the Clio R3T has established itself as one of the best cars in its category.

A BATTLEof generationsFOR ITS THIRD EDITION, THE CLIO R3T TROPHY FRANCE WAS A GENERATIONAL BATTLE FOR THE TITLE. ON ONE SIDE, THERE WAS THE VERY EXPERIENCED 44-YEAR OLD CÉDRIC ROBERT. AND ON THE OTHER THE CHALLENGE WAS LED BY 28-YEAR OLD FLORIAN BERNARDI AND FORMER STANDOUT IN THE TWINGO R1 TROPHY…

01 LE TOUQUETRight from the start of the season, Cédric Robert (Team Bonneton) lived up to his stature as the favourite. While still learning the Clio R3T, the native of Saint-Étienne overcame a puncture and pushed Florian Bernardi (Chazel Technologie Course) into a mistake to win at the end of a magnificent duel. Jean-Paul Monnin (Automeca) completed the podium.

02 ANTIBESOn the other side of France, it was Florian Bernardi turned to enter the unknown. Cédric Robert pulled away and led from start to finish. After making a mistake on SS2, Florian Bernardi battled just until the finish to steal away second place from veteran Pascal Bérard.

03 ROUERGUECédric Robert and Matthieu Duval made it three consecutive wins and had a big lead in the general classification. The only driver to finish within a minute and who battled for stage wins, Florian Bernardi came up short once again, while defeating his main rival in the Junior category, Kevin van Deijne (Van Deijne Rally Team).

04 MONT-BLANCIn the Alps, the return to action turned to the advantage of Florian Bernardi and Xavier Castex, who were nearly untouchable with ten best times from 12 special stages and a more than one minute margin of victory from Cédric Robert, who didn’t opt for the right setup.

05 COEUR DE FRANCEFull of confidence after his win, Florian Bernardi had a fantastic battle with Cédric Robert. Sadly, he went off the road on SS5. Cédric Robert went on for the win ahead of Bruno Longépé and clinched the title. Despite retiring, Florian Bernardi wrapped up the Junior title.

06 VARThe final round was a microcosm of the season. Cédric Robert took the lead, the outsiders fell by the way side and only Florian Bernardi stayed close until he struggled with his tyres. Once again, Cédric Robert stamped his authority on the championship. Kevin van Deijne (Van Deijne Rally Team) finished seventh to seal third place in general classification.

“We had the pleasure to watch a fantastic duel in the Clio R3T Trophy France. For its third year, this category took a genuine step forward with a quality field mixing experience and youth on first-rate rallies across France. Cédric Robert has offered real references for all the competitors, who for their part have continued to raise their level to push him to his limits. We cannot wait to see what 2018 has in store for us!”

When he was 16, Cédric sat alongside his father to get his first rally impressions as a co-driver. Once he got his driver licence, Cédric got behind the wheel of a Simca Rally 2. After a few seasons in regional competition, the Saint-Étienne native made his way to the promotion series’. He won the Cinquecento Trophy in 1996, then the Volant 106 in 1998.

This title led to a factory drive with Peugeot Sport in the French Championship and the JWRC. Then he got his first taste of WRC competition thanks to the support of the France FFSA Team. In 2004, he was entrusted with a factory 307 WRC for two rounds. Despite a fine fifth place in Germany, the adventure came to an end.

In 2005, Cédric returned to the French Championship in a Clio Super 1600. The adventure with Renault continued in the following seasons in a Clio R3. Just as fast as spectacular and always accommodating the fans, he became the darling of the public. Many saw him as the worthy successor of Jean Ragnotti!

Racing all sorts of cars starting in 2009, Big Robert finished runner-up in the 2012 French Championship. He then added the Citroën Racing Trophy to his long list of accomplishments in 2014. Today, it’s the Clio R3T Trophy that keeps one of France’s greatest rally drivers busy…

Cédric Robert’s closest rival throughout the season, Florian Bernardi won the Junior classification, reserved for under 28 drivers. The Vaucluse native is a regular in the Renault Sport promotion series. He competed for three seasons in the Twingo R1 Trophy at the beginning of his career. England’s Sara Williams won the Ladies Trophy…
