Formula 1 racing cars have always been a sort of harbinger of upcoming technologies. That is why it is always fascinating to look at the cars of the future, such as the one brought to the Shanghai Motor Show by French Renault, which presented a surprisingly realistic study with the Renault RS 2027 designation.

On the other hand, why create a concept at all if they only measure with it practicality?
At the same time, it should be added that the designers had the task of putting the racer back in the center of the action, but of course they were not allowed to neglect technology. Among other things, they installed it in the bikes LED lights, which can display everything from battery status to a racer's starting number, and announced that in the future they will be able to spectators could access the data of the racing car directly via their smartphone.
