About the Renault R24
The R24 was Renault's 2004 car, designed under Mike Gascoyne and Bob Bell with Pat Symonds overseeing engineering, and powered by an RS24 V10 that returned to a 72-degree vee after the previous year's 111-degree experiment. It proved fast and reliable, often outpacing Williams and McLaren, and Jarno Trulli won the Monaco Grand Prix. An R24B update with new cylinder heads and inlet system arrived at San Marino. Trulli's relationship with the team broke down and former world champion Jacques Villeneuve drove the last three races, and Renault finished third in the Constructors' Championship with 105 points, behind BAR.
