Every Wednesday morning, at a quiet airport west of Paris, they boarded a luxurious 8- Fly an hour through the English Channel on the Piper Cheyenne III spiral plane. Most of them look like managers of multinational companies, in a trip to discuss global product strategies, in a way they are. But as experts in aerodynamics, electronics, carbon composites, stereo printing, and other esoteric disciplines that involve the manufacture of the world\'s most technically advanced racing cars, their company aims, the Renault Formula One team will win the race. While today\'s audience at the Marino Grand Prix in imora will see 20 significantly identical cars Decorated by sponsors of different colors Each of the 10 teams of the sport is struggling to make these cars, which is entirely personal, and with the participation of the world\'s seven automakers, there are relatively few restrictions on knowing. Renault\'s weekly air shuttle from Paris to Oxford is part of the team\'s efforts to attract employees, they are from the engine plant in viri chatilon, the technology center near Versailles and the chassis of the nsone in Silicon Valley of world racing. However, the competition is so fierce, although Renault has more than 700 adsmember staff — France 300, UK 400 Renault\'s parent company, which has 19 experts, mainly from the technology center design company, has not won the game since taking over Benetton\'s team in 2000. However, after the first three games in 2003, Renault\'s integration efforts and the choice to follow the new test rules made the team one of the biggest surprises of the season. The two riders Fernando Alonso and Jarno Trulli scored points in each game, placing the team second in the series and 16 points behind McLaren. 13 points ahead of Ferrari and BMWWilliams. 21-year-old Alonso became the youngest driver to get pole position in Malaysia\'s second race. \"The success of the car this year depends on the integration of the engine and chassis,\" said Flavio Briatore, the team\'s gorgeous Italian director, who, together with Schumacher, led benatone to the world championship on 1994 and 1995. As an engine manufacturer, Renault powered the benatong and Williams teams in the 1990s s, winning six world championships. It is now trying to succeed where it failed in the 1980s s by making engines and chassis. The team won seventh place as benaitong in 2001, but used 110 of the innovation- Renault engine v10degree angle. Last year, it ranked fourth as Renault. Although Renault\'s new engine is considered revolutionary because of its wide angle -- Most of them are 75 to 90 degrees. And other internal functions, it has reliability problems and too much vibration. This season, briantoli has been appointed not only as the head of the chassis plant, but also as the head of engine operations for Viry Chatillon. \"Because we are 100% Renault now, there is no more secret,\" briatelli said . \". \"This is a big problem between engine suppliers -- Chassis supplier relationship Everyone wants to keep a little secret in their pockets and sometimes damage performance. \"Please click on the box to verify that you are not a robot.

Briatelli said that while video conferencing and e-conferencing There are restrictions on mail information. \"If you use e-commerce too much \"Mail is just like a lot of people, especially engineers, and it\'s very dangerous because you don\'t have a connection between people anymore,\" he said . \". The open floor plan of the two factories is also designed to increase communication between engineers, said Luca Mazzocco, a marketing account manager who offers tours to journalists and sponsors in Naston. The Enstone factory is a state, an advertisement for a former open-air coal mine. of-the- In this sport, each team needs to build their own cars, similar to other art facilities. However, unlike some teams, Renault actually refused to subcontract at all. Even the saxophone that looks and sounds like a knot is handmade. Mazzocco said it was the last traditional automotive manufacturing process that the team used. Today\'s Formula One racing car is made of carbon fiber with a lot of pressure -- Cook with a mold in a huge autoclave oven. These components are tested in the team\'s wind tunnel 24 hours a day, 6 days a week. The test part is made up of four stereo printing machines, one type of three The size of the components made with plastic resin computer printer. These are provided by computers in the Department of aerodynamics. Committed to manufacturing 800-Viry factory The horsepower engine, which has several soundproofing Workbench rooms, is similar to the video game mall where technicians \"drive\" the engine almost on the track before each race. They may be qualified engineers and technicians, but they also agree that they will upset the race drivers when the engine is restartedComputer- Remember the rotation speed and gear changes that were made during the race around the track before. Briatelli is not a frustrated racer. Prior to the start of f1 in benaitong in 1989, he established a network of benaitong stores in the United States. \"I\'m not an engineer,\" he said . \" \"I am the manager. I make decisions It\'s the same to produce engines, cars, or chocolate. Whatever it is, you produce the product as efficiently as you can and have the best. \"Briatelli and Pat Simmonds, director of engineering, made an insightful decision this year. Renault is the highest. The team placed accepted new rules to reduce testing between matches. In return, the team received additional test time on Friday morning of the race weekend. This allowed Alonso to have more time to study the track in the second year of the sport. This also helps the team to better adapt to the track. In competition like Toyota, BMW, Ford, Honda, Ferrari and Mercedes, Renault realized that it was not the only team with the resources it needed to win. \'The secret is in it, \'says Simmonds. \"You can have huge facilities, you can have thousands of people, but if you can\'t get everything going in the same direction, it will never succeed,\" says Simmonds.
