Kubica's absence cost Renault

Renault boss Eric Boullier believes Kubica's absence 2011 it is the factor that affected the team's performance and not the problems with the exhaust.

The season started with very good results for Renault (podium in both first Grand Prix) but it ended badly with the team trying hard to get some points.

Many pointed out that the peculiar exhaust system chosen by the team had ultimately created problems for the car.

The R31's exhaust tips instead of being at the rear of the car were at the front under the side vents. According to Boullier, however, this risk could be overcome.

What was not overcome was the absence of Kubica due to his serious injury. Asked by Autosport magazine about the key factor affecting the team's performance, Boullier responded: “Robert, certainly".

Robert's absence cost him very directly in terms of speed and because it was also a blow to the morale of the team and everyone. But we also had indirect losses, και αυτό δείχνει την αξία του Robert. Ήταν η πίστη που χάσαμε και η δέσμευση ότι μπορούμε να τα πάμε καλύτερα. Και φυσικά, δεν ξέρουμε πόσο μας κόστισαν οι μπροστινές εξατμίσεις αφού τα πράγματα μπορεί να ήταν διαφορετικά αν είχαμε και τη γνώμη του Robert».

O Robert Kubica πλέον θα χάσει σίγουρα την αρχή του πρωταθλήματος του 2012 and it looks hard to compete in Renault colours, which was named Lotus Renault, since the team has already announced Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean.

Despite his poor season 2011 Boullier believes this experience will make the team stronger in the future.

He stated himself: "This year has been very difficult for our people, για μένα και για όλους στην εταιρία επειδή περιείχε πολλές ιδιαίτερες και πιεστικές καταστάσεις, ωστόσο μπορεί μέσα από αυτό να συνειδητοποιήσουμε τον τρόπο με τον οποίο μπορούμε να γίνουμε καλύτεροι».

The new face of the Renault Megane

We present, the electronically processed photos of the renewed Renault Megane, which is expected to bring some necessary mechanical changes.
After several spy photos have been released online, we present to you its most complete form, with the help of electronics. What is certain is in a relatively short period of time from the date of its first appearance, the 2008, Renault decided that it needed radical changes. This is a direct result of its mediocre commercial performance, especially in the domestic market, and especially against the newest Citroen C4 and the completely renewed one, Peugeot 308.
As can be seen from the electronically processed image, and unlike the light refreshes Peugeot has undergone, the Megane will receive in-depth aesthetic improvements. The logic of design, which will be part of the new design philosophy of the French brand, it has already been introduced to us by the renewed Renault Twingo, which will come to our country early next year. So the front bumper is bulkier, with larger air intakes, while the front lights have a more aerodynamic design and have been rounded in shape. The company's new badge that "floats" between the bumper and the new front hood makes an impression, which is intensely nervous, forming a characteristic 'U' that reaches up to the front pillars. Design that is also present in the current model, but here it completes a more dynamic set. By the way, the profile of the model, from everything,what can also be distinguished in the photo, does not change dramatically, while the taillights will continue to intrude into the rear fenders, but, probably, with dark lights, most.
Changes are also expected inside, with the first and best reputation that wants the renewed model to solve the problem of spaces in the back seat, with wheelbase changes. End, under the hood the changes are not going to be radical, but Renault is expected to solve the competition issue with the 1,200 turbo German models, placing hers as well 1,2 TCe known from Clio.
The renewed Renault Megane 3rd generation will be presented in March 2012, at the Frankfurt exhibition.

The Renault-Nissan group seems to have very important plans for the immediate future, since according to information they are already working on the plans of a new model that will cost just 2.500 euro!

It is a given that the Renault-Nissan alliance still has many interesting products to offer. Among them we will see a very interesting model that is created with the aim of reaching the consumer at a low cost 2.500 euro! This initiative of the two partner companies is not new, however it has now been launched for good. The development of the car has been undertaken by Gerard Detourbet, whose team will focus on this goal from its beginnings 2012. He has provided credentials, since he was responsible for the development of many value for money models on behalf of Dacia, such as Logan and Sandero.

Soon we will know more about this new model which, however, is expected to impress only for its price and not for other things. In terms of commercial activity, Renault-Nissan's aim will be to move strongly with this car mainly in Asian markets in order to "beat" the very cheap Tata Nano. However, it is possible to see it in European markets as well.
