Renault begin testing new Fluence

By

The Renault LoJack team have begun testing their new Fluence TC2000 car, which will compete in the 2011 season with an all new driver line-up.

Former Formula 1 chief designer Sergio Rinland is a technical advisor on the project, helping to develop the new Fluence which replaces the team’s Mégane Mk.II this season.

Renault LoJack’s new drivers Mauro Giallombardo & Guillermo Ortelli got their hands on the new car at the circuit Oscar y Juan Gálvez in Buenos Aires, with former Chevrolet driver Ortelli setting a best lap of 1:22.49 at the test.

The car will join the championship’s first general test next Wednesday at the Autodromo Oscar Cabalén.
