Renault are a French automaker who have been involved in Motorsport since the beginning of the 20th century.

They have been involved in Grand Prix racing as a fully-fledged manufacturer as well as an engine supplier, both in Formula One and the AutoReject World Series - in the latter of which they have also been represented by the Infiniti brand.

Renault also have competed in rallying and touring car racing.

Formula One

1970s

In 1977 Renault became the first major production car manufacturer to enter Formula One in the commercial era, with a pair of cars entered by the in-house Équipe Renault Elf team headed by engineer and driver Jean-Pierre Jabouille alongside fellow F2 frontrunner Jean-Pierre Jarier. Renault were pioneers for the use of the V6 Turbo engine, which would later become the dominant choice of engine for the majority of the paddock. Reliability would be an issue in the early days of the team and as such would regularly retire from the races.

1980s

Renault returned to the F1 paddock in 1989, supplying power units to the Canon Williams and Camel Team Lotus outfits.

1990s

Renault won the 1997 World Driver's Championship with Jacques Villeneuve at the wheel.

The French manufacturer vacated Formula One in an official capacity in 1998, but continued to supply engines to teams for the next three seasons under the Mecachrome, Supertec and Playlife monikers.

2000s

In 2000, Renault purchased Benetton Arrows for $120 million - but would not enter Formula One in its own right until 2002.
