The Renault R30 is a Formula 1 race car and was the patrol car of the Renault F1 team for the Formula 1 2010 season. It was the first vehicle of the team under control of Genii Capital.
Is powered racing car from Renault V8 RS27 engine. It was developed by the Technical Director James Allison, the chief designer Tim Densham and the head of the aerodynamics department, Dirk de Beer.
The car was driven by drivers Robert Kubica and Vitaly Petrov for the newcomer. The presentation took place in Valencia, Spain on 31 January 2010. Having already been lost in the course of the previous year in addition to some other sponsors with ING Groep 's main sponsor, the R30 was completely painted in yellow with black stripes. This colorway should remind you of the 1978 season, when Renault made his Formula 1 debut.
The team was surprised at the beginning of the season with unexpectedly good results, including Kubica's second place at the Australian Grand Prix. His team mate had the first three races each end prematurely due to technical defects or a spin in Australia, but could pick up points for the first time at the Grand Prix of China with seventh place.
In early 2012, a Renault R30 was sold to the tire manufacturer Pirelli. This leads through to the vehicle tire testing.
