Description
The French Mint celebrates the car manufacturer Renault, the 2006 Formula One World Champions, with this 2007 silver proof coin. In 2006, Renault won seven of the first nine races, but lost ground to rivals Ferrari in the second half of the season. Nevertheless, the Renault team held on to retain both drivers’ and constructors’ championship titles.
The first organized Grand Prix was run from Paris to Rouen in 1894 over a distance of 126 km. The winning « horseless carriage » had to be « safe, easily controllable and reasonably economical to run. »
