2008 Formula Renault 3.5 Series

2008 Formula Renault 3.5 Series 2007 2009 thumb|right|The Drivers' Championship was won by Dutch driver Giedo van der Garde. The 2008 Formula Renault 3.5 Series was the fourth Formula Renault 3.5 Series season. It began on 26 April in Monza, Italy and finished on 19 October in Barcelona, Spain after 17 races. Regulation Changes Technical After a three-year cycle, the current Formula Renault 3.5 chassis was replaced by a brand new car built by Italian racecar constructor Dallara. The new car featured flex-fuel technology and could be powered by either premium unleaded petrol or E85 bioethanol, which was a first for this level of motorsport in Europe. The Renault V6 engine, prepared by French company Solution F, also saw its power increased from 425 hp to 500 hp. The car also featured a new carbon bodyshell, as well as a new shaped front wing, hollowed sidepods and multiple side deflectors designed to improve aerodynamic performance. However, several areas of the car, including the gearbox, rear suspension and carbon brakes, remained the same in order to keep costs under control. http://www.renault-sport.com/en/world_series/formulaV6/news.php?news=55275.html New Formula Renault 3.5 in 2008 renault-sport.com 2007-07-12 2007-11-08 https://web.archive.org/web/20070928085758/http://www.renault-sport.com/en/world_series/formulaV6/news.php?news=55275.html 28 September 2007 dead The new car made its first public appearance on 21 September at the Magny-Cours round of the 2007 season,http://www.italiaracing.net/notizia.asp?id=16434&cat=5 PREVIEW New WSR car revealed italiaracing.net 2007-09-21 2007-10-03 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20071213130622/http://www.italiaracing.net/notizia.asp?id=16434&cat=5 2007-12-13 with development driver Andy Soucek demonstrating the car at the final round of the series in Barcelona.'08 World Series car hits track.
