    Renault RE16 livery



    I was expecting more of a bumblebee type of affair considering they posted:

    #TBT: Robert Kubica at the wheel of the yellow R30 aka #bumblebee. Just to get those livery chats started again ;-)

    All black and yellow fits their corporate look though.
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    Another black car? Or this is just the test mule?

    I quite like the livery, however with Mclaren being dark it could be hard to tell from a camera on long shots. The yellow & white or yellow and blue would be good.
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    Someone tidied up the paint cupboard at Enstone and they found the yellow paint again. Much better than the black testing livery:

    'a return to one's roots', so to speak...
    The years of experimentation with the 3.0L NA/ 1.5L Turbo/Supercharged engine formula, which ran from the late 60's to the mid-80's.

    1977, and the introduction of the RS01 to the grid. The Renault/Gordini V6 turbo-powered sensation, commonly nicknamed "the yellow teapot" for it's propensity to 'boil-over' spectacularly near the end of most races during the early years.

    Then '79, when it finally 'broke it's duck', and showed it can be a competitive way forward.

    Here's to you, Renault. Make us 'old guys' proud and give us a lasting memory...
    Defend mediocrity... because excelence is just too hard to achieve. :p
