Renault's best in action at Simola Hillclimb

Renault has a rich involvement in motor sport which covers over 35 years. It has a well-established Formula 1 heritage and has won the constructor's title ten times in a row. Renault's performance cars are legendary, and some examples of the classic Renault Gordini as well as some hot Renault Sport hatches will be in action.

"Our commitment to the Knysna Simola Hillclimb and the Speed Festival as a whole, demonstrates Renault's sporting prowess. Now a set fixture on the South African motor calendar, the Hillclimb is a unique event that provides the opportunity to platform true competitive sportsmanship and motor technology and performance at its best," says Xavier Gobille, managing director of Renault South Africa.

The premier motor sport event

Knysna Speed Festival organiser, Ian Shrosbree applauded Renault's support for the festival. "It is fantastic that Renault has shown such faith in our event and will once again be title sponsor of the Knysna Hillclimb event. We have grown together over the past two years to make the event arguably the premier motor sport event in the country. Renault's support has been instrumental in making the event the success it has been and will continue to be in the future. Together we will once again strive to provide competitors and spectators alike with a unique and enjoyable motor sport entertainment experience at this year's event."
