RB 2011 Formula fuel
RB have announced the improvement of their famous orange fuel with a new additional component which increases overall performance of the engine. They have chosen the very latest oils available for a better lubrication. The offroad fuel was redesigned with a complete new mixture of synthetic and castor oil. The latest generation of additives can significantly reduce the friction of engine parts and viscosity in order to optimize fuel consumption and improve reliability at high pressure and temperature. The on road fuel is mainly composed of castor oil combined with synthetic oil. The latest generation of additives can significantly reduce the friction of engine parts and viscosity in order to optimize fuel consumption and improve reliability at high pressure and temperature. Following the big demand from all the drivers around the world, RB have decided to develop a special pre run fuel, especially adapted for the first rounds of your brand new engine. During the break in period, the internal parts of the engine suffer from friction due to the very precise tolerances of micro engine parts. Because the engine is brand new, it has to be adjusted very rich and as a result is always low in temperature. This new RB break in fuel include special oils and additives making the lubrication of the engine better at lower temperature. After 2 liters of the RB pre run fuel, your engine will be in perfect condition to be used with normal fuel and will last longer.

French engine company RB have announced that 3 time European Champion Renaud Savoya have re-signed with them for another 2 years bringing him up to the end of 2012. Renaud had this to say about the deal:
After 2 successful seasons under the RB colors, it was clear in my mind that I would renew my contract with the french engine manufacturer. I’m glad to follow up our evolution and keep up with our great results for the 2 upcoming years. During the first months, I was really impressed by the motivation and devotion of the team. We achieve awesome results together, either on the track or personally. Today, I think that RB represents what we can do best in technical support and product evolution, looking at all the titles RB got recently. Evolution and professionalism, motivation and dynamism, boosted by a pleasant and closely knit team, I can only be confident for our future together…
