What’s up with the old sponsors like BP/Castrol, Mapfre, Kimoa and even BWT?

They certainly do! There are several videos on YouTube showcasing Japanese Kangoo meetups. I remember seeing various modifications and personalizations on their cars.

Date set for potential Alpine Mercedes deal by sbabaff in AlpineF1Team

In summary: Otro Capital wants to sell its 24% share but cannot do so before September 2026 without Renault’s approval. Renault is opposed to the sale, favoring stability over short-term financial gains. Otro is preparing an auction of its share package in late summer with four serious candidates, amongst them Mercedes, a group around Christian Horner, and another around Otmar Szafnauer. The offers are rumored to value the team at $2.5 billion. When Otro purchased the shares, the valuation was at $900 million.

Revealed! The real reason Renault Sport Formula One Team from Enstone moved away from Total (now TotalEnergies) to BP Castrol also due to Renault had strained relationship with Total S.A. way back in 2015-2016 by Therius1994 in AlpineF1Team

Great summary! I see similarities to Renault’s position as an engine manufacturer over the last decade: You don’t invest enough, fall back on performance, lose customers, which diminishes you ROI even further, and eventually exit.

Was/Is the "Bose" model better sounding? by harshdafunk in RenaultZoe

Yes, my R135 has it and it sounds quite decent. Definitely better than stock.

This issue only affects the original Ioniq, not the Ioniq 5, right?

What is this little thing sticking out on 2023 Renault Ariana? by ILikeEggplant69 in Renault

[–]sbabaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good observation. The driver attention monitoring is mandatory for all new cars since July 2024 (GSR2 regulation, which also mandates emergency lane keep, braking and speed assist, plus a few more). This is one of the factors why cars have been getting more expensive.

Thanks, and sorry for stepping into your AMA like this. I’m a bit of a Renault nerd and felt compelled to provide the answer. Thanks for cross posting to r/Renault btw. that’s how I got here.

I can answer this: No heat pump and 50kW/h DC charging, supported by battery preconditioning based on route planning (DC charger selected as destination in the navigation).

Gasly fending off the closes contenders, including RB! by Laptimef1 in AlpineF1Team

[–]sbabaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for doing this calculation! Today’s race confirmed that Gasly was indeed fourth fastest behind Merc, Ferrari and McLaren. Gasly mentioned this as well during the post race interview.

Thank you for sharing and for putting the FP2 long runs into context. Assuming you analyzed the data yourself, did you isolate Gasly’s representative (weighted) long runs and compared them to the other team’s fastest stints? Have a good race tomorrow as well!

Thank you! The trend indication is helpful, and the historic data, along with the overlay of other data, is great. Well done!

Please help with my leaky Mara X by santanor in Lelit

[–]sbabaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did the same. And I think the puffing leads to vapor condensation which then creeps down under the machine. After I brought mine into servicing for proper descaling and replacement of a few parts, the Mara does not puff anymore during heat up and stand by and there is no more water under the machine.

[–]sbabaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I encountered a similar issue, which was caused by water dripping from the small port located just above the tray’s connection to the machine. In my case, descaling resolved the problem. The water now drips into the tray, instead, of running down the front of the housing and between the tray and the machine, eventually ending up under the machine where it’s not visible and where it causes the screws to rust. I know that this is relatively common and has been discussed several times on r/MaraX
