Renault continues the festivities around the 20th anniversary of its victory in the 2005 World Constructors' Championship by participating in the 31st edition of Sport et Collection, which will be held from Thursday May 29 to Sunday May 1er June 2025 on the Val de Vienne circuit (Le Vigeant, Vienne).
On the stand of The Originals Renault – The Collection, enthusiasts will have the privilege of discovering 13 iconic single-seaters, including the famous R26, world champion in 2006. It will share the spotlight with two historic models: the RS10 from 1979 and the RE40 from 1983, which will take to the track twice a day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
In addition to the single-seaters, the public will be able to discover other iconic vehicles:
- Space F1, the supercharged minivan equipped with a V10 F1 engine,
- Twizy F1, a concentrate of fun and technology,
- Saviem SG2 Renault Sport, former assistance vehicle, symbol of the brand's sporting history.
At the wheel of the RS10, we will find Rene Arnoux and Victor Jabouille, son of the late Jean-Pierre Jabouille. The latter had secured Renault's first ever Formula 1979 victory at the 1 French Grand Prix in Dijon, and the first for a turbo engine. That day, Arnoux had fought a now-legendary duel with Gilles Villeneuve for second place. As for the RE40, another jewel in Renault's history, it will be driven by the experienced Alain Serpaggi.
Finally, fans will be able to leave with exclusive souvenirs thanks to The Originals Renault Store, installed for the occasion aboard its famous Estafette boutique truck.

Good evening, I find what Renault is doing in terms of celebrating and showcasing its sporting heritage magnificent. I may hate to the core anything that even remotely touches on the infamous electric "mobility vehicles", Turbo3e though they may be... I admire the passion that shines through in the history of Renault andAlpine. I was at Castellet at the end of April, I still have goosebumps. And what can I say, besides F1, about this R5 Turbo exhibition!!!! Fabulous. Long live Thé originals ex Renault Classic.
