Renault f1 factory visit

[snapper8v]

I was lucky enough to be invited on a factory tour of the Renault f1 team last night http://www.lawrencecliftphotography.co.uk/30360/in... . It was a privilege to be able to take a look inside a current formula 1 team and to see the cars being built for the forthcoming German GP. As for the proposed budget cuts that Max Moseley was trying to bring in, Renault currently employ 550 staff, a nose cone/front wing assembly costs approx £40k in man hours alone, and they take 6 to a race weekend, I could go on........

That's the problem with main dealers......at my local parts shop you can get 3 for a £10er

We were invited by a Renault employee and fellow integrale owner who was given permission with a maximum of 12 people. The last time he was able to do this was 2 years ago which I missed out on. NO charge (unlike M-Sport, Ford WRC team) as Richard took us around in his own time.
