First launched in 1971, the Formula Renault is one of the reference championships on the way to Formula 1. Taking place around European F1 circuits, the Formula Renault Eurocup championship is organised by Renault Sport Racing which also provides technical support to all teams.
Over the years, the championship has proved to be true reference in single-seaters, with 70% of current F1 drivers having raced in Formula Renault. Some former champions might include Valtteri Bottas, Pierre Gasly or Lando Norris.
From the age of 16, the drivers in the Formula Renault Eurocup face each other in a competitive environment in which they will learn how to handle the pressure of competition while getting the most of their single-seater.
