Formula Renault UK - The Championship
Young drivers from across the world compete in the Formula Renault UK with Michelin Championship as it is a proven training ground for top-level racing drivers including Formula One aces Kimi Raikkonen, Pedro de la Rosa, Antonio Pizzonia, Lewis Hamilton, Heikki Kovalainen, and Le Mans winner Guy Smith.
Simple yet effective, the Formula Renault 2.0 has been designed to meet specifications requiring controlled season costs, total sporting fairness between competitors, excellent reliability and enough potential performance to allow the talent of the best drivers to show through.
A production run of more than 700 makes this the world's best-selling single-seater. It is used in a long list of championships, ranging from Mexico to China. This car offers a sufficiently wide range of mechanical and aerodynamic settings to allow drivers to learn what single-seater racing is all about. By prohibiting teams from preparing or modifying certain parts of the car – above all the engine and the electronic control unit – Renault Sport guarantees that everyone has access to the same level of performance.
"Our aim is to provide the best young drivers with a clearly - mapped , affordable route to success," said Renault UK' s Motorsport Manager Tim Jackson. "Formula Renault UK is now established as a proven breeding ground for Formula One stars with several young drivers progressing from our championship to the pinnacle of the sport. Our target is to continue to provide competitors with genuine opportunities to succeed at the top levels of motorsport."
