Product Description
Product Description
The story, which has its roots with the racing 'Freres Renault' and their extraordinary technical advances at the end of the nineteenth century, follows the Renault F1 team through its heyday from 1977 to 1997. It begins at the turbulent days of 'The Yellow Teapot' (a popular reference to the groundbreaking yet temperamental cars which kept breaking down) through the team's rise to dominance of the racing world in the 1990s. The story reaches a climax with Villeneuve and Williams-Renault's 1997 triumphs - as this was also in this year that Renault were to take an extended break from the circuits. Many great drivers have graced the team's distinctive yellow-liveried cars, and the team's engines powered the majority of winners during the end of the period covered by the book, including Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher, Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve.
About the Author
The book has been written by former sports broadcaster Gareth Rogers whose professional career embraced BBC Wales, BBC Radio Sussex, Channel 4 and Sky TV.
