SG Formula, F.Renault 2.0 team, ready for the off!
French Formula Renault team SG Formula's 2006 season ended with a unique 1-2-3-4 win on the Magny-Cours circuit. The La Rochelle-based squad also took drivers' runner-up spot and teams' title in France, and third place in the Eurocup's final classification.
Former SG Formula drivers are climbing up the motor sport scale. Seven out of a class of eight French drivers on the F3 Euro Series and World Series 3.5 entry lists have raced SG Formula cars in the past. Three of them have been admitted to F1 manufacturers junior drivers programs (Renault Driver Development, Red Bull Junior Team).
It is with vastly strengthened team that SG Formula is preparing to face the challenges of a new season of French Championship and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 racing. Solid financial backing, new much larger and functional premises and six new drivers who will benefit from support and personal development facilities hitherto unknown at this level of competition.
