Renault: a constant contender in all manner of motorsports
In the 1970s, Renault set up a dedicated motorsport division that went on to take the winners title in the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1978, with the Renault Alpine A442. They have been competing and achieving successes in both rallying and Formula One ever since.
Renault Formula One
Renault debuted their first formula one car (and team) at Silverstone in 1977; it was the first of its kind to include a turbo engine. The team continued until 1986 and shortly after, in 1989, they began to supply engines to the successful Williams-Renault car.

More recently, Renault powered the winning Red Bull Racing team in 2010 and returned to racing as a team in their own right, from the 2016 season onwards.
How often should brake light bulbs need replacing?
As with any car part, the quality of the bulb and how often it is used will determine how often the bulb needs to be replaced. Some bulbs can last for up to five or six years (traditional, incandescent bulbs). However, more modern LED bulbs have a life expectancy of around 12 years. Another factor that can affect the life of the vehicle is the amount of voltage running through the wiring. The higher the voltage, the shorter the lifespan of the bulb.
The law, vehicle regulations and your MOT
As they are an important safety feature, your brake lights will be checked during your MOT. If your lights are found to be faulty or completely broken, your car will fail its MOT. To avoid this unnecessary cost you should regularly check your brake lights and replace them whenever necessary.
What causes a brake light bulb to break?
