What an emotion to see the Renault RS 10 again, on the track …… of JP Jabouille ……. He is the driver who gave me this passion for motor racing, at the time of the Alpine-Renault in 78/79 then Renault-Sports in F1. First Pole-Position, then victory of a Turbo engine, when no one in the competition believed in it……. Thank you …JP Jabouille. 😎🇱🇺👍
