Renault's nine-minute video on its new R.S.01 manages to avoid feeling too corporate (despite some overly dramatic music), instead giving a rather fascinating insight into how to turn sketches into "the most beautiful race car ever seen" in a scant five months.
It goes from pen wielding to circuit testing, via a motor show debut alongside Alain Prost and the manhandling of carbon bits in the workshop.
And if you simply want to see it in action and hear its Nissan GT-R sourced V6 making ferocious noises, then may we point you to around 6:30 in the video for the first bit of on-track footage. And keep an eye out for some seriously hot brake discs...
The problem with a spec series is that you don't have to homologate the car. It would have been good if this thing was going to race in DTM or some other series where they had to build road going versions of the car before they could race it. Renault Alpine A610 reborn. . .I wish.
Wow no sense of humour, I merely would have preferred they put something special like what they do F1.which brings me back to the to the car gurus I will try and read up on current car topics, so many new things like fuel injection and stuff what will they think of next Pneumatic valve springs.
