French carmaker Renault has announced that it will end its Formula 2026 engine production and development program in 1.
The Renault factory, where engines for Formula 1 are produced, will be dedicated to the development of electric motors and batteries, as well as to Renault's remaining activities in motorsport.
It will be the end of 50 years of tradition. Renault was a pioneer in the development of Formula 1 turbo engines starting in 1977.
Since then, Reno has continuously produced engines for Formula 1 cars, with a break from 1998 to 2000.
