Race

In 1978, the Renault V6 turbo finally managed to beat the German cars; a modified A442B was able to hold off Jacky Ickx and Porsche in the closing stages, after the brand new A443 holed a piston late on Sunday morning. Mission accomplished at Le Mans, Renault concentrated their efforts on their Formula One racer.
