GORDINI
Two films about the fantastic Renault Gordinis of the 1960s and the way they enabled a generation of keen drivers to follow their dreams. The first, Chrono175, focuses on the R8, perhaps the most iconic of all Renault Gordinis. The film also spends quite some time showing, in detail, how to drive one on, and sometimes beyond, the R8 Gordini's considerable limits. The second film is a marvellously atmospheric record of a glorious sun and petrol soaked summer motoring festival that took place at Le Castellet race circuit in 1970. Surrounded by thousands of gleaming examples of his blue and white creations, “The Sorcerer” or Amadee Gordini as he was properly known, was the beaming guest of honour at this one off event. Any one who was into Gordinis in 1970 had to be there, and never one to miss a trick, Renault took the opportunity to introduce their brand new model; the R12 Gordini at the event they called G-Day!
From the late 1950s to the late 1970s the Blue and White stripes of the Gordini Marque became synonomous with speed, style and excitement. Now some three decades since the last Gordini hit the road, Renault are relaunching the Gordini badge with an exhlilarating new range of modern sports cars that will proudly bear the famous livery. In this Renault TV exclusive we celebrate the Gordini legend, catch up with Global CMO Steve Norman who explains why the company felt that the time was right to relaunch the brand and meet the designers charged with creating a Gordini stlye for the modern age
In 1972 the car that many say was the first supermini, was revealed to the press and public to huge acclaim. Over the next 20 years the 5 would become the most cherished model in Renault's range, beloved of everyone, from people on a budget, to horse power hungry rally drivers as they powered to victory. We learn of the sad, yet inspirational tale of the 5's design by Michel Boue. We hear about the 5's astonishing debut at the Monte Carlo Rally, as told by its victorious driver Jean Ragnotti, who then takes us on a wild ride as he blasts his famous Rally car around the historic Montlhery race track. We're given a tour of the 5's nuts and bolts by the men who look after Renault's incredible Historic Car Collection. In addition, respected motoring journalists Jason Barlow, Richard Bremner and Marie-France Estenave give an independent view of the 5's story. This documentary reveals, with exclusive access and in unparalleled detail, this compelling story.
