Vintage renault racing

[Sam Fish]

Happy new year and all.
Been scanning all our photo's and magazine articles recently and though I would post a preview here.

Eventually we will have a website ready, and we are planning an anchive which will be full of stuff you may find interesting. Like old race programmes, results sheets from the cup days, original information packs for championships and anything renault motorsport related. It would be good to share it all at last. Oh, and it wont ALL be fish related.

Should be up in about a month, hope these are interesting in the mean time..

I forget who owns this one in the club... but its a bit modified now. Was raced by Wizzo in the reunion race
This was reshelled after Val hit a barrier sideways. She was cut out and broke her collar bone unfortunately. Didnt stop her racing again!

[Sam Fish]

Oh, and one more bit of important history about your car Clarky.... (bet you didnt know this)
Niel McGrath (four time renault 5 champ) had a go in it for AUTOSPORT. It was just before the Reunion race.
The autosport was the 27th May 2004 one - if you can still get it
:)

Here you go:

Hi Eugein!
More to come. I still need to send you pictures of yours when we had it too... There is also an article from Cars and car conversions with it in. I have that too ;)... to follow....

[olidaviesuk]

Great pics Sam, keep them coming :cool::cool::cool:

Assuming the pink one is Gary Palmers one rather than mine?

Think this should be a sticky! :D

[Sam Fish]

Hi Oli,
Yeah, Gary Palmers and Steve Alderton in most of the pics. I do have some of Rick Pearson (no.55, your car) in some I'm sure.

Non Turbo, but on request:

Look at the people on the pit-wall, and how low the pit-wall is!

[Scoff]

[Eugein Offord]

Yeah, will get round to it at some point very soon. Bit of a mission scanning all this at the moment, but Ill pick out lots of some gems and put them up.
Glad they are of interest to others too.

[Sam Fish]

Im sure you give it a good thrashing too.

I cant imagine there are many cars that have been driven by McGrath AND Barry Whizzo Willimas - Both previous renault champ winners (oh, and my dad making it a hatrick ;);))

you must have seen the renault sport heritage pages?
