The History of the Model
The Renault R 202 represents Renault's second year back in Formula 1 as a fully-fledged team following the acquisition of the Benetton team. Designed under the technical direction of Pat Symonds and Mike Gascoyne, this single-seater builds on the experience gained with the R 201 while refining the aerodynamics and optimizing the integration of the RS22 V10 engine.
The 2002 season was a crucial step in rebuilding Renault's identity in F1. Despite still modest results, the R 202 laid the technical foundations that would allow the team to progress to the top in the following years, paving the way for future world titles with Fernando Alonso.
The Anecdote of the Prodigy Pilot
Jenson Button, then only 22 years old, impressed with his maturity behind the wheel of the R 202. At the 2002 Malaysian Grand Prix, he made a spectacular comeback from 17th on the grid to finish 7th, demonstrating a driving talent that would not go unnoticed. This performance helped to forge his reputation as a driver capable of getting the most out of a difficult car.
A tasty anecdote tells that before each race, Button took the time to meticulously study the R 202's telemetry data, a methodical approach that appealed to the French engineers and which already foreshadowed the world champion he would become in 2009.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
