Renault to WRC ?

[RICARDO75]

Another 3D Megane. But I never heard that Delecour was involved in a project with Renault

What are the engine specs on the R3T class cars? Is it the same as WRC from 2011 onwards? If so this would mean that renault has already developed the engine & just needs to work on the chassis which put's forward an interesting question. Which way is better for manufacters, S2000-2011WRC or R3T-2011WRC?

Autosport says that Renault want to sell thir F1 team, and just produce engines for RedBull.

They have now confirmed participation for 2010 in F1 - so no(?) WRC for Rellu...

I don't know speciffic WRC 1.6T regulations but R3T engines are very simple and close to production units. Whole top R3T car costs around 60 tousand Euro which is probably less then WRC 1.6T engine will cost itself...
