hello,
After the failures of 1975 and 1976, Renault decided to focus on the 24 hours. In 1977, four A 442 are initially but none manage to reach the finish. No doubt, the A442 is an excellent car, but the fragile engine.
In 1978 Renault has the means to win: he brings a tray A443, an A442B and two A442A. He has conducted extensive trials to build engines and gearboxes
From the start, the Alpine fly. Three cars are installed to the command, and Porsche, burdened with technical problems , the Porsche No. 6 will disrupt the serenity of the Alpine team, but they retain the advantage. The final ranking thus gives 5 laps ahead of the A442B 2 wins over 210km / h average,
Renault decided not to put his title and set a new goal to win in Formula 1 with turbo engine.
