Maybe.

That would clash with an F1 budget.
I really don't see the Regie having two competitive teams in different disciplines.

One option would be to ditch F1 and join WRC, but at the moment that would be a poor choice.
Renault should wait until people outside of the hardcore circle know that the WRC exists.

Last time I've heard that also Mitsubishi, Skoda, Volkswagen, Hyundai, FIAT, MG, Peugeot, Toyota, Nissan, Kia and also Lada were looking to come (or come back) to WRC within a couple of years ^^

Mm, and how many have joined/re-joined?

Exactly!! And why not?

Does anybody blame them for not joining?

Well, I wouldn't!

There was an article on "Motorsport news" newspaper abouit that possibility. IRC in 2009 and WRC in 2010 with the new 3 doors Megane. Maybe the ones from UK could see that.

I think nothing would be better looking than the current Clio. It looks great in the road going version , I think if they would do the magic for a 4 wheel wide WRC version then would be awesome.
Well just a thought! Nice to dream anyway... hehhehehe

And now Renault is in this list too. We have to wait on the promoter of WRC. The future depends on what the promoter does (or didn't). Hopefull other manu's come to WRC, but I don't know.

BTW: Renault is active in Jwrc. Who prepair these cars?

At the moment, I don't see Renault joining as a works team at the top level. However they may be interested in developing S2000.

It said in the motorsport news report that there wasn't a clash between a wrc team and the f1 team - let's face it, even the top wrc manufacturers budget is nothing compared to F1...

Like almost everyone, they are waiting ont he technical specifications for the next few years before commiting themselves to it I think.

Unless they quit F1(unlikely, as Ghosn stated they have to stay in F1 even without winning!!!)they won't come in rally anywhere as factory team :rolleyes:

Hey I was ironic with that post, if it wasn't clear ... to say it better, I am like "when I see somebody enter WRC and actually racing, then I'll believe to a 'rumour' !".
