Renault family open day
Renault opened the factory last weekend to all family members. There were guided tours, car displays, remote-control cars, ride-on cars, balloons, big trucks... pit stop practice.. car engine start-ups.. basically everything you needed to keep Lucas happy for a couple of hours.
Sadly the local fire engine got called away to a real fire!
They had a Renault RS 10 on display. This car created history as the first ever turbo-charged Grand Prix winner, way back in 1979.
Also on display were the championship winning R26 (2006) on the left, and the R25 (2005) on the right. The R26 is painted in this year's colours, so it is a bit confusing. They currently use it as a 'show car' performing demonstrations throughout the globe. About 300,000 people recently turned out to watch it through the streets of Mexico city.
They also had this year's R27 on show... which was a bit of a dog and didn't really come close to winning anything this year, except in the rain in Japan where Heikki Kovalainen finished 2nd, mainly because Alonso crashed out and the Ferraris started at the back of the grid due to a big self-inflicted mix-up.
The big transporters (used to ferry the cars and equipment to all the European races) were a big hit with Lucas.
