Hi mate,

Just wondered if you had any information about the feasability study Renault were doing into entering the WRC?



Mat.

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

None. If there is a study being done it will be done from across the pond. The chances of us doing WRC and F1 are as close to zero as possible

 

[Tom]

Bit skint these days?

You bought volvo yet?

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

Theres no manufacturer that can do both succesfully. Look at Peugeot and Ford, they both excel in WRC yet fall somewhat short in F1

 

[McBunny]

dunno what was renault like in the 80s in F1 you had good rally cars then aswell

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

Youre right but I think that the investment required was a little less then

 

[McBunny]

ah true but it would just be nice to see a wrc megane

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

actually Ford were pretty good then too

 

[McBunny]

oh and ford were doing rally, touring cars and f1 lol

 

[Pete]

Needs soo much more investment to be competative these days tho.
