Any engine that is replaced without the approval of the RENAULT SPORT

Only engines with RENAULT SPORT 2013 seals will be allowed to be used in the

Any engine not sealed or whose origin is unknown or different to that stated

The state of the seals and their presence are the responsibility of the driver and
