Renault announces launch date

The Renault F1 team will reveal its 2002 challenger on January 27th. The choice of Paris for the unveiling of the new car has been picked to underline the team's French roots, even though it is essentially a re-badging of the Enstone, UK based Benetton team. Next year will be the first time an all-Renault car has taken part in the championship since its previous spell as a constructor, which ran from 1977 to 1985, during which time it won 15 grands prix and took 31 pole positions.
