Lotus F1 team junior racer Marlon Stockinger returned to the track to compete in the World Series by Renault 3.5 Series in Budapest, finishing the three consecutive weekend races in 7^th place and a 2^nd place finish in the rookie podium.

Six transporters distribute the rubber tires from a Michelin facility in Clemont-Ferrand to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series, Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup, Eurocup Megané Trophy and the Clio Cup. A large selection of tires for different features and driving conditions are allocated for the World Series by Renault races.
