2011 Renault Round-Up Is Almost Here

This Sunday, Australia will hold an important Renault retro & modern car event, as the Victorian Renault Car Club will hold its annual Renault Round-Up at the Waterfront City Docklands. The event will include over 80 vehicles, with Renault fans expected to come for across the state.

“There will be a vast array of vehicles on display including the iconic and sporting Renault 8 Gordini, Renault 12 Gordini and Renault 17 Gordini, all of which were in among the sportiest cars of their generation through the 1960s and 1970s, as is the current model Clio Renault Sport Gordini, released in Australia in June 2010, which will be present alongside its famous ancestors,” stated the press release.

“Demonstrating Renault’s long and successful history in motorsport will be the Alpine A110, winner of the 1973 Monte Carlo Rally and World Rally Championship and its successor the Alpine A310, winner of the 1977 French Rally Championship.”

Renault Sport will bring the the Clio Renault Sport 172 through 200 models, as well as the Megane Renault Sport 225 and 250 models. In addition to that, the event will welcome a special Megane Renault Sport 250 - this is one of the two cars that will participate in the inaugural Red Bull Race Off at this year’s 2011 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix.

“Although the cars will definitely be the heroes of the day, Renault ambassador, Gabriel Gate, will be on hand to host a cooking demonstration between 11.30am and 12.30pm with some tasty French-inspired morsels for onlookers to sample. In addition, the 3-piece band, Boise et Chardon, will be performing between 9.30am and 11.30am,” stated the press release.
