Renault Launch R31

by Terry Saunders on 31/01/2011

Renault have launched the R31 live on the internet today, calling the car brave and addictive.

Using the JPS (not JPS) JPS Gold and Black colours that adorned the Lotus cars in the seventies are back and all the sponsors (except snooty Total who insist on a red that looks as though the designer slit his wrists all over the car before it was finished)

The backend is apparently tighter and more daring and blah blah blah, go to any F1 forum aroundabout now and you’ll find lots of people talking about stuff that we don’t understand.

We pretty much just discuss the colours here.

It does seem that the unique, brave and aggressive thing that the team is doing is having 26 test drivers, alongside the main drivers of Kubica and Petrov there is: Grosjean, Charouz, Tung, Fauzy, Senna, as well as Jeremy Clarkson, Jim Davidson’s character in ‘Home James’, Ronnie Biggs, Parker from Thunderbirds, Frank Spencer and Maureen from Driving School also ready to leap into action.

Oh, and who ever was putting the stickers on put the E of GENII on backwards. Awkward
