TheRenault Sport Series (formerly known asWorld Series by Renault) was amotor racing series. The series latterly consisted of theEurocup Formula Renault 2.0, and used to contain theRenault Sport Trophy and theFormula Renault 3.5 Series. TheF4 Eurocup 1.6 was made part of the World Series in 2010, but was then folded for 2011.[1] The flagship for the Renault Sport Series from its beginning to 2015 was theFormula Renault 3.5 Series (often referred to as simplyWorld Series by Renault or simply WSR). It became theFormula V8 3.5 in 2016, when Renault Sport retired its backing.[2] In 2020 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 folded into theFormula Regional European Championship.
Renault started theFormula Renault V6 Eurocup in 2003, as a support series inEurosport's Super Racing Weekends (ETCC andFIA GT Championship). The series ran withTatuus chassis and a Nissan 3.5 L V6 engine.
In 2005, Renault left the Super Racing Weekend and started the World Series by Renault and the Formula Renault 3.5 Series, merging both theWorld Series by Nissan (whose engine contract had finished) and Renault V6 Eurocup. The Dallara chassis was retained, while the Renault V6 was improved to 425 PS.Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup and theEurocup Mégane Trophy also joined the series in 2005 to support the main FR3.5 series.
At the end of July 2015,Renault Sport announced it would be withdrawing its backing to the Formula Renault 3.5 from 2016 onwards, handing the control of the series to co-organiser RPM. However, Renault Sport also said it would continue the Renault Sport Series with the Renault Sport Trophy and the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup.[2]
