Devialet to sponsor 2016 Renault F1 team
#1
So you reckon that you have laser cat hearing that can spot the difference between cables?

Well, you'd need very good eyesight too to spot the Devialet logo on this baby as it passes you at 200mph:

Rumors that Renault F1 plan to use Devialet AIR technology for car to pit data transmissions may prove to be unfounded.

From the 'net:

Infiniti, the premium car brand of Japanese automotive manufacturer Nissan that previously backed Red Bull Racing, will have branding space on Renault’s car alongside former Lotus partners Microsoft and EMC, and French oil and gas giant Total.

Unveiling their 2016 entry at the Renault Technocentre in Guyancourt, France this week, Renault Sport F1 also announced new partnerships with watch supplier Bell & Ross, audio systems company Devialet and clothing company Jack & Jones.

The livery is not definitive yet (the car wearing it isn't even this year's one, it's a repainted 2015 Lotus E23 Hybrid) so Devialet's logo could end up in a different place.

Maybe Renault and Devialet are planning to introduce Devialet stuff in their cars (I think that they currently use Bose), like:
  • Bang & Olufsen in Audis, Aston Martins and BMW,
  • Bowers & Wilkins with BMW, McLaren and Volvo,
  • Burmester with Mercedes-Benz and Porsche,
  • Dynaudio with Bugatti and Volkswagen (as well as the laptop I am using right now),
  • Meridian with Jaguars and Land Rovers, ...
  • Naim with Bentley

I might be missing a few brands though.

Megalomania. Next up: a Devialet brand of clothes and perfume or their own soccer stadium?

They can't even hire enough decent software engineers.

Love F1, but wished Devialet spent this money involved on development, getting air to work flawlessly etcetera.

I must admit that this was exactly my reaction to this news.  I guess that you need to consider that the idea is that Devialet get some kind of association with F1, this yields many commercial benefits and makes even more money for Devialet.  I like many of us would like this lovely new cash to then be spent on some decent software guys to sort out Devialet's many issues.

I wonder how much a little Devialet sticker costs when it's stuck on the side pod of a mid grid F1 car?

According to an interview of Quentin Sannié to french newspaper "le parisien", Devialet wants to equip cars before end of this year. Renault could well be a partner for them. Next year to equip televisions....

quote:"Ce dernier devrait équiper des voitures avant la fin de l'année, avance le directeur général.
Le son Devialet devrait ensuite être intégré dans des téléviseurs, "sans doute l'année prochaine". "Car le son, c'est super important dans un film!"

Much excitement this morning.....

Up early to watch the first F1 qualifying session of the season.  Normally this would be excitement enough, but today there was the almost unbearable extra excitement of seeing a Devialet sponsored Renault flying 'round the track.  How would the new Devialet logoed car look on screen?  Fabulous is the answer.

Screen shots below......
