DESCRIPTION:
It begins at the turbulent days of "The Yellow Teapot" vehicles, through the team's rise to dominance of the racing world in the 1990s. This story follows the Renault F1 team through its heyday from 1977 to 1997. The story reaches a climax with Villeneuve and Williams-Renault's 1997 triumphs. 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.
Good reference Dad the Maker Good reference. A good history of Renault Motorsports. This was a very good addition to my library. Renault is no stranger to success in F1 and this book does a very good job describing how it came to be so successful. The book also covers the beginning of the company at the start of the twentieth century and how successful it was in racing even back then. Book is easy to read, includes lots of large color images and provides just enough technical detail.
