Renault to WRC ?

[Gordini]

Renault have cars in R1, R2 and R3. What is the chance of them coming back with a 1600T car for 2011, maybe badged as a Gordini...

[Koppomsbo]

I think the chances are low, but i would love seeing them there.

But a Clio would look rather cool ;)

[Megablade]

Correct me if im wrong, but that's a Megane, isn't it?

[bennizw]

Yep, that's the Megane :)

[Leon]

Correct me if im wrong, but that's a Megane, isn't it?

Yes, and it reminds me the Megane WRC project with Delecour that never saw the light of the day

Yep, that's the Megane :)

[Gordini]

If it should have been a Megane, what model, 1, 2 or 3 ?

[Doon]

Agree, it's a clio!

[Lalo]

That Clio looks stunning! It would be great to see that in a WRC champ, not only on JWRC

[JAM]

To be confused between this Clio and a Megane?!? :eek:

Now i'm the one who is confused, but no with the car...

[Sulland]

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

If that happens they could free up a team for a WRC campaign easily.

Same with Toyota where 500 of 650 in the team is laid off, they also could come back to Rally !

[306 Cosworth]

Yes, and it reminds me the Megane WRC project with Delecour that never saw the light of the day

Any pictures of the car? Never heard about this before.

[bennizw]

Do you have more info about this project? I have never heard of it before, and it sounded very interesting :)

[urabus-denoS2000]

As far as I know it is just photoshop,nothing serious

[bennizw]

Indeed the picture is photoshopped, but what did Delecour have to do with this, and when was this project in it's planning?

[RICARDO75]

I think this Megane was designed by a guy from Argentina, it was published on foro3d.com.

But rallybuzz published this article in 2008:

[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?

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...
