Renault B201

Renault B201 was a Formula 1 car that Renault tested in the winter of 2001-2002. It's basically a Benetton B201, reworked for the off-season and for testing for Renault's comeback in Formula 1.
Following the conclusion of the season, Renault, who were due to formally become the replacement for Benetton in the World Championship, utilised the B201 for a number of pre-season tests Circuit de Catalunyas. These took place throughout late 2001 and early 2002 with Jenson Button, Jarno Trulli and Fernando Alonso driving. The cars were repainted in an interim white with yellow livery without sponsors. The cars were used to test various engine, aerodynamic and electronic improvements.
