Like Joeg says, French!
I race the Renault Alliance with the 1.7 engine in IT-C. Biggest engine in the class and the car is near minimum weight (and I weigh near 250) without all that scraping needed in some cars. It is reliable, I just replaced the engine after over 50 weekends. Even with the tired engine it would run in the top 5. With a fresh (used) engine it runs in the top 2. There were lots of them around with cages after the Renault Cup. I still have 3. (the fool part)
Typically French, they come with a white flag in the glove box!
