Formula Renault are classes of formula racing popular in Europe and elsewhere. Regarded as an entry-level series to motor racing, it was founded in 1971,[1] and was a respected series where drivers can learn advanced racecraft before moving on to higher formulas.

Formula Renault 2.0 race at Silverstone in 2008

Renault now backs the French F4 Championship and Formula Regional European Championship. The World Series by Renault once included Formula Renault 3.5 before becoming World Series Formula V8 3.5 in 2016, then folding in 2017.

Formula Renault 3.5L

[edit]

The most senior "Formula Renault" was the Formula Renault V6 Eurocup started by Renault to run as part of Eurosport's Super Racing Weekends (ETCC and FIA GT Championship). Only two seasons were run between 2003 and 2004 before Renault left Super Racing Weekends and merged the series with the similar World Series by Nissan to create the Formula Renault 3.5 Series as part of the World Series by Renault in 2005. In 2016 the series became the World Series Formula V8 3.5, which folded in 2017.

Formula V6 Asia started in 2006 in Asia and ran at Asian Festival of Speed Weekends (Touring Car, Formula BMW and Porsche Carrera Cup Asia).

The old Eurocup and current Asian formulas use Tatuus chassis, while the World Series uses Dallara cars. Michelin is the tyre supplier.

Formula Renault 2.0

[edit]

Formula Renault 2.0 descended from Formula France created in 1968. Its predecessors used 1.3L (1968–1971), 1.6L (1972–1981), 1.6L turbo (1982–1988) and later 1,721 cc (1989–1994), then 2l 8V (1995–1999) engines in single-seater chassis. The series evolved in 2000 into a 2L 16V series using one-make cars from Italian manufacturer Tatuus. The series was introduced into the UK in 1989 and even after the 1721 cc cars had been replaced at the top level a club-level series for them continued in parallel with the more ambitious 2.0 series. This is seen as one of the key steps in a driver's career before Formula Three.

The most notable recent graduate of the formula is Kimi Räikkönen, who moved straight into Formula One after winning the British Formula Renault championship.

The cars

[edit]

1995–1999

[edit]

The Formula Renault 95 used multiple chassis, production 2.0-litre 8V 165 hp engines and Hewland five-speed manual gearboxes. Manufacturers were able to build cars around spec components such as the engine, bellhousing, gearbox, brakes, wheels and ECU. Chassis were steel space frame with fibreglass bodies. Manufacturers included Mygale, Martini, Swift, Tatuus, and Ermolli. The car was last used in 1999.

2000–2009

[edit]
"Renault Sport type F4R FRS" engine

The Formula Renault 2000 had a Tatuus-made chassis running 2.0 L Renault Clio engines attached to a Sadev gearbox.[3] The engine originally had a maximum output of 185 hp, and was upgraded to 210 hp in 2006. They are capable of accelerating from 0 to 100  km/h (0-62 mph) in 4.85 seconds and braking from 200km/h (124 mph) to a stop in 4.60 seconds.[4] The Tatuus Formula Renault car is the most successful single seater ever, with 10 years of service and nearly 1000 sold. The car has produced many current Formula One stars, with 11 of the 25 drivers in the 2009 Formula One season using the car in the infancy of their careers.

For the 2010 season, a new car developed by Barazi-Epsilon, will be used in most major championships, with the old car still being used in minor championships such as Formula Renault BARC in the UK.

    Formula Renault is a defunct junior category founded by in 1971 as an entry-level open-wheel single-seater series to bridge the gap between karting and professional , particularly serving as a key feeder for drivers. Using standardized Renault engines and chassis, it emphasized equal competition, driver development, and cost control, evolving through various engine displacements from an initial 1.3-liter naturally aspirated unit to a 2.0-liter specification by 1995. The series expanded globally, supporting over 15 national championships across , , and other regions, with the —launched in 1991—becoming its flagship international contest. Renowned for nurturing elite talent, Formula Renault has been a formative ground for more than two-thirds of all Formula 1 drivers, including luminaries such as , , , , and . Its structured format, featuring identical cars like the later models with turbocharged 1.8-liter engines producing 270-300 horsepower, Michelin tires, and advanced safety features including the halo device, provided a rigorous testing environment for skills in high-speed single-seater racing. Achievements in the series often propelled drivers to the Renault Sport Academy and subsequent FIA-sanctioned categories, contributing to Renault's broader motorsport legacy that includes multiple F1 constructors' and drivers' titles. By the late 2010s, amid 's corporate rebranding to focus on its Alpine performance division and shifts in FIA regulations, the core Formula Renault structure underwent transformation. The Eurocup concluded after the 2020 season, merging into the (FRECA), which adopted Renault engines and Alpine branding while aligning with global standards for enhanced safety, performance, and international appeal. As of 2025, FRECA by Alpine remains active, hosting multi-round events on prominent circuits like , Spa-Francorchamps, and , continuing the legacy of progression with a 26-car grid and a focus on FIA-certified competition. Independent regional variants, such as the Scandinavian Formula Renault 1.6, persist in limited forms, but the original Formula Renault banner has largely transitioned into this evolved framework.

    Overview and History

    Founding and Purpose

    Formula Renault was established in 1971 by as a direct successor to the short-lived Formula France series, which had operated from 1968 to 1970 as an affordable entry-level single-seater championship using Renault components. This renaming and rebranding under 's banner aimed to create a more structured and manufacturer-backed platform for young drivers, building on the foundational principles of cost-effective racing introduced by its predecessor. The primary purpose of Formula Renault was to serve as a feeder series to higher levels of , such as Formula 3 and ultimately Formula 1, by providing aspiring drivers with accessible training in advanced racecraft while emphasizing 's dedication to talent development. By controlling costs through standardized equipment and engines, the series sought to level the playing field, allowing skill and strategy to determine success rather than financial resources, and committed to fostering the next generation of racers through this initiative. Following its launch, Formula Renault experienced rapid growth across , with the national championship commencing in in 1971 and expansions to other countries in the , including the introduction of the Challenge Européen de Formule Renault in 1972 that involved participants from , the , and others. The series began in 1989, and in 2000. All were powered by engines of 1.3L displacement initially, shifting to 1.6L by 1972. Central to the series' design were standardization principles, including fixed chassis specifications, uniform engines, and gearboxes, which ensured equitable competition and minimized development costs, with offering direct to participants. These elements would later influence the progression to variants with larger engines, such as 2.0L and 3.5L displacements.

    Evolution and Key Milestones

    Formula Renault began as a French national series in 1971, featuring 1.3-liter engines designed to provide an affordable entry point into single-seater . The series quickly evolved its technical specifications to balance performance and cost; increased to 1.6 liters in 1972, remaining the standard through the 1970s and most of the 1980s, including a turbocharged variant from 1982 to 1988 that boosted power while maintaining accessibility for young drivers. By 1989, the displacement shifted to 1.721 liters, paving the way for the adoption of 2.0-liter engines in the 1990s, which became the cornerstone of the Formula Renault 2.0 class and supported national and regional championships worldwide. In the 2000s, the category diversified to address varying driver development needs and global interest. A 1.6-liter junior class emerged in 2013, offering a lower-power stepping stone from karting with engines producing approximately 140 horsepower, ideal for newcomers in series like the Formula Renault 1.6 . Simultaneously, the senior tier advanced with the introduction of the 3.5-liter class in 2005, featuring V6 engines delivering over 450 horsepower, integrated into the newly formed by —a unified platform that merged the Eurocup Formula Renault V6 with the existing World Series to streamline events and enhance visibility. This period also marked significant global expansion, including the establishment of Formula Renault Americas in 2004 and the launch of the Formula V6 Asia by in 2006 to foster talent in the region. Renault Sport assumed a pivotal role in managing the series from its early days, standardizing technical regulations, organizing championships, and fostering partnerships with chassis builders to ensure consistency and innovation. Collaborations with for the Formula Renault 2.0 , introduced in the late 1990s, and for the higher-powered 3.5-liter cars emphasized cost-effective, high-performance designs; notably, the adoption of carbon-fiber monocoques around 2000 in models like the FR2000 improved safety and reduced weight without escalating expenses. To counter rising costs in the mid-2000s, adaptations included incremental power boosts—such as elevating the 2.0-liter engine output from 185 horsepower to 210 horsepower in —and selective tire supplier changes to maintain affordability while preserving competitive balance. These evolutions solidified Formula Renault's reputation as a vital feeder series, nurturing talents like and through the mid-2010s.

    Formula Renault 3.5

    Technical Specifications

    The Formula Renault 3.5 cars featured a carbon fiber chassis built by , with models including the T08 (used 2008–2011) and the evolved T12 (introduced in 2012 for improved and ). These spec chassis emphasized equal competition and driver development in a high-performance environment. The powertrain evolved during the series: from 2005 to 2011, a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine (based on the VQ35DE) produced around 480 hp (358 kW) at 7,500 rpm; from 2012 onward, a 3.4-liter Zytek/Gibson V8 delivered 530 hp (395 kW) at 9,250 rpm and 440 Nm of , with a of 9,500 rpm, prioritizing reliability and performance close to GP2/F1 levels. The rear-wheel-drive layout included a six-speed sequential paddle-shift gearbox (Sadev or Xtrac) with a for precise handling. Tires were slicks, sized for optimal grip on dry circuits, supporting the series' focus on tire strategy in feature races. Performance suited the category as a direct feeder to higher formulas, with a minimum weight of 623 kg (including driver), top speeds exceeding 300 km/h, and 0–100 km/h in approximately 2.9 seconds. Design priorities balanced power with controllable via adjustable wings. Safety complied with FIA standards, featuring an integrated , energy-absorbing , and ; later incorporated updated front impact structures.

    Championship History and Results

    The Formula Renault 3.5 Series originated as the European-focused World Series by in 1998, evolving into a key development category for aspiring Formula 1 drivers with its high-power, cost-controlled formula cars. In 2005, acquired the series, rebranding it as Formula Renault 3.5 and integrating it into the broader World Series by platform, which ran until 2015 and emphasized multi-category events across . An accompanying Asian winter series, known as Formula V6 Asia by , operated from 2006 to 2009, featuring similar and engines to provide off-season competition in markets like and . Following 's withdrawal, the category continued as the in 2016 and 2017 before its discontinuation, having produced numerous talents who progressed to higher series. The inaugural Formula Renault 3.5 season in 2005 merged elements from prior Renault V6 and Nissan programs, launching at Zolder with 14 rounds and establishing the series as a direct feeder to GP2 and Formula 1, where early champion quickly advanced. Performance peaked in with an expanded calendar of 17 races over nine events, including high-stakes battles at venues like and , where clinched the title amid fierce rivalry with drivers like . The 2017 season, the final under the V8 3.5 banner, featured seven rounds and culminated in Fittipaldi's championship win at , marking the end of two decades of operation amid declining grid sizes and sponsorship challenges. Between 2005 and alone, the series delivered 187 races, underscoring its endurance as a competitive proving ground. Race weekends followed a consistent dual-race format, typically with 14 to 17 rounds per season held as support events to larger Renault series, featuring a longer feature race on Sunday—often requiring a mid-race change—and a shorter sprint race the following day, with the sprint grid set by reversing the feature race's top-10 finishers while the rest used qualifying order. Points were distributed to the top 10 classified finishers in each race via the FIA-standard system: 25 for first, 18 for second, 15 for third, and diminishing to 1 for tenth, contributing to both driver and teams' standings. Notable developments included Tech 1 Racing's team dominance, securing four titles between 2008 and 2013 through consistent podium sweeps and strategic prowess. Circuit rotations evolved over time, such as replacing as a regular host with for key 2017 events, adapting to venue availability and cost efficiencies while maintaining a focus on technical European tracks.
