  • Steve Sutcliffe takes to the track in the latest boundary-pushing race car from the Renaultsport stable, the crazy RS.01.
    At the moment the RS.01 is just an in-house folly for Renaultsport, a one-make racing car that just so happens to be utterly sensational to drive. But in time it may yet redefine what’s possible from a GT3 racing car. And whatever its future, the RS.01 looks, and indeed is, one of the most exciting cars we’ve driven all year.

    Next time a driver says the phrase "be a bit quiet", the announcer should take his advice and follow suit. At that moment all I wanted to hear was the noise from the engines, the precise sound that was muted to allow mr. impressive stats to prattle on turning in enjoyable drive into a television commercial. There I was in the moment of his descriptive first drive which was filled with plenty of stats on its own. All that's really left is to extend the enjoyment for the viewer by watching and listening to the car move around the track at least for a couple of laps before you kill the mood. did you do it backwards on purpose?

Do u know how much of investment they gonna need just to build an engine as powerful as F1?

    The addition of the GT-R's frankly overweight engine (650lbs, maybe a bit less with most accessories removed and others swapped.) is a bit of a let down for me. Renault could have done just as good with less. But as the engine was already paid for and Renault is not flush with cash. So, I won't complain too much.
