• Champions Tennis sees some of the best players the sport has ever produced face off in the ATP Champions Tour season finale
• Rolls-Royce Motor Cars London is one of the main sponsors of the event, following on from a successful partnership with the Tennis Classic tournament in June earlier this year
• Former British No. 1 Tim Henman, seven-time Grand Slam winner John McEnroe and two-time US Open champion Pat Rafter are just three of the big names set to enjoy Rolls-Royce’s hospitality

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars London will chauffeur some of the greatest tennis players of all time around the capital during the Champions Tennis tournament from 30 November to 4 December.

As one of the competition’s main sponsors, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars London will be on location at the Royal Albert Hall ready to take big-name players to and from the world-famous venue in luxury worthy of the occasion.

Former British No.1 Tim Henman is one of many iconic names in attendance in London, as well as seven-time Grand Slam champion and one of the most entertaining players ever to take to the court, John McEnroe.

Henman and McEnroe will be joined by the likes of two-time US Open champion Pat Rafter, former World No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero and Greg Rusedski.

All players will be given the chance to travel to and from the venue in the opulence that only a Rolls-Royce can provide thanks to H.R. Owen, who will deploy the Wraith, Dawn and Ghost at the event.

Specially trained drivers from H.R. Owen’s Chauffeur Drive division will be behind the wheel, with their expert knowledge of London enabling them to get players to the Royal Albert Hall in time for action.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars London will also take its customers to the event and provide corporate hospitality within the Royal Albert Hall, where there will be two sessions of tennis every day of the tournament.

The company recently ferried players to and from the ultra-exclusive Hulingham Club for the Tennis Classic in June. Some of the current best players in the world competed in the event, and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars London’s input was a huge success.

Claus Andersen, Brand Director of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars London, said: “Being part of the Champions Tennis tournament is an honour and the perfect way to bring the curtain down on another entertaining ATP Champions Tour season. Former Grand Slam winners and world No.1s will be showcasing their skills on the court and we’re very excited to give them the royal treatment in one of our luxurious cars.”

New Challenges for the stunning Renaultsport R.S. 01.

No rest for the Renaultsport R.S. 01! For the first time since it made its racing debut, the high-performance vehicle from Renault Sport Technologies will compete outside the World Series by Renault. Two cars are entered for this weekend’s GT Tour season finale at Circuit Paul Ricard.

Originally built exclusively for racing in the Renaultsport Trophy, Renault Sport Technologies’ most recent sports car received such a strong interest that the Ulis engineers quickly went to work to make certain adjustments to reach a new homologation. The first was granted by the FFSA, through a GT3 balance of performance.

Created to achieve high-end performance, the Renaultsport R.S. 01 had to review and level out itself to be allowed to race. The carbon brakes have been replaced with steel. In addition to the 25 extra kilograms associated with the change, 50 more of ballast was added. The ride height was raised and an engine restriction added.

Aerodynamically, changes were necessary both to add drag and remove downforce from the Renaultsport R.S. 01, which naturally enjoys exceptional characteristics in this area.

Less than a week after the inaugural Renaultsport Trophy season finale, two cars will take part in the FFSA championship for the first time. The Team Duqueine Renaultsport R.S. 01 will be entrusted to three GT Tour regulars: Eric Clément, Ange Barde and Bruce Lorgere-Roux. They will be joined in Open Challenge by a second R.S. 01 entered by the Belgian Boutsen-Ginion team for Eric Vaissière and Olivier Grotz.

Jean-Pascal Dauce, Renault Sport Technologies Motorsport Director: “Since the genesis of the Renault Sport R.S. 01, the interest in our creation has been keen among teams and promoters. The success of the Renaultsport Trophy in the World Series by Renault has confirmed this trend. As competitors, we are extremely enthusiastic about the idea of seeing the R.S. 01 take on the competition. No doubt, it will turn heads among both drivers and spectators. We are extremely grateful in the confidence that Hugues de Chaunac has shown in us and this drives us to continue our discussions with other championships.”

Hugues de Chaunac, ORECA Group President and GT Tour promoter: “We are pleased to welcome two Renault Sport R.S. 01s for the first appearance of this car outside the Renaultsport Trophy. It is a fast car with a magnificent look. This presence, through two quality teams, will, without a doubt, be positive and interesting. We have paid close attention the R.S. 01. I am convinced that the spectators will fully appreciate it.”
