This will be the first car equipped with a turbocharger to have won a Grand Prix at Dijon-Prenois in the hands of Jean-Pierre Jabouille. At Goodwood, he's his friend Rene Arnoux (7 victories in F1) who will pilot it.

In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of the legendary Renault 5, a Renault 5 Turbo Maxi Superproduction, very rare because a handful of examples were produced for competition in France, will be released by the driver of rally Alain Serpaggi.

The link with the present and future of the brand will be ensured by the exhibition of the Renault 5 Prototype, which foreshadows the design of the future production Renault 5 announced for 2024. The brand new 100% electric Megane E-Tech will also its public debut in demonstration.
