Renault Viry-Chatillon sale to Dumarey reported

Autosport reported Renault has agreed to sell its Viry-Chatillon engine facility to Dumarey Group, though the move is not confirmed in the supplied material.

Autosport reported that Renault has agreed to sell its Viry-Chatillon engine facility to Belgian company Dumarey Group. The move has not been confirmed in the supplied source material, so it remains a reported development rather than an established fact.

According to the same report, Dumarey Group works in powertrains and engineering components for mass-produced vehicles. Autosport said the proposed deal covers the former Formula 1 engine base at Viry-Chatillon, a site closely linked to Renault’s works programme.

Renault competed in Formula 1 across 24 seasons from 1977 to 2020, recording 35 wins and two constructors’ championships. Fernando Alonso took 17 of those victories, which gives added context to any reported change involving one of the marque’s best-known F1 facilities.
