Devialet to sponsor 2016 Renault F1 team
#11
(19-Mar-2016, 09:08)Confused Wrote: 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......

Lovely. I am sure that tomorrow morning we will see it in the lead by Turn 1 and then mysteriously and inexplicably come to a stop before the end of the first lap, amidst a burst of white noise. The engineers will log a support case, but won't get an answer before the race in Abu Dhabi.

To add to an earlier posting: Mark Levinson is fitted to some Lexus models, and sounds wonderful  Smile

I was told by the UK Devialet guy that Devialet did not pay anything for this - simply gave some existing Devialet vibration IP which they had developed for the Phantom to help sort some vibration control in the F1 car.

Yes I can confirm that I have heard people from Devialet telling me that they are an "invited sponsor" meaning that they did not pay anything financially to be on the car.
I had not heard about IP that they would have exchange, but that make sense to me.

Eh?  I was referring to the pair of beautiful Silver Phantoms.  But you are right, the giant scale things might actually be a pair of the new D1000 Plus Zero's?

Some news.  The 2017 Renault F1 car has been launched.  According to the 'partners' list, Devialet are no longer a sponsor. Sad

There have also been rumours that inspired by Melco, Devialet are now sponsoring Ken Block, this is due to apparent synergies with Devialet's ongoing software development efforts:
