R5CUP, the Renault gaming event, live stream on the brand’s Twitch channel

30 September 2022

2022 marks the 50th anniversary of Renault 5, one of the brand’s most iconic vehicles. A true pop culture symbol, over 5 million Renault 5’s were sold in many countries between 1972 and 1984.

To celebrate this 50th anniversary, Renault has held many events and activations since the start of the year, with events, happenings, and operations on social media.

On the 5th of October, Renault will host the R5CUP, a gaming event, live from l’Atelier Renault at 53 Avenue des Champs Elysées in Paris.

On this occasion, five international teams, each composed of one renowned gamer and one Renault ambassador, will go up against each other on the Forza Horizon 5 driving simulator, behind the wheel of the mythic, legendary 1980 R5 Turbo. These five pairs will square off against one another for 3 hours, over 7 different races including timed rally races, drift competitions, and even one race driving in reverse gear.

 Live stream, starting at 8pm, on the Renault Twitch channel, this competition demonstrates Renault’s desire to put a great deal of effort into the innovative, connected worlds of gaming, to come into contact with the future generations of drivers who are already immersed in technologies and entertainment.

Composition of the five teams :

  • Spain : Perxitaa x Dani Clos
  • Germany : TrilluXe x Matthias Malmedie
  • Italy : GrenBaud x Franco Nugnes
  • United Kingdom : Onscreen x Alex Kersten
  • France : AlphaCast x Patrice Meignan
