What Exactly Was Formula Renault?

Does anyone remember Formula Renault?
I'm joking of course but does anyone remember how well established the different categories were? Well for anyone who might be unaware, and wants to take a little tour down memory lane, this is the video for you.
Formula Renault may not have had the prestige that the FIA's Global Pathway has now, but during its day it had a rich history with many drivers going through its ranks to get to the top step of the ladder.
Drivers like Sebastian Vettel, Kevin Magnussen, Jean-Éric Vergne, Daniel Ricciardo, and a bunch of others all made their way through the various series.
And while it may all be gone today, it lives on in the experiences it has given its many graduates.

GFC = Global Financial Crisis

Apologise for not uploading in over a month, a lot happened but now I'm able to start doing this again. Look forward to more!
Oh and hopefully you've enjoyed the video too!
Edit: Thanks for all suggestions for more videos, I'll try and work that into a schedule.

[@noobiplays5364]

It would be nice if you take a look at the
Argentine racing ladder
- It has the Formula Metropolitana
- Still got a Formula Renault 2.0 Series

[@nert-13]

Still hasn't uploaded in a year plus

[@senzubean31]

Alonso, Vettel, Ricciardo, Sainz, Ocon, Gasly, Magnussen all came through Formula Renault. It's a shame it died off as it produced so much talent.

[@Laksuuuuu]

Could you do introduction to Porsche supercup or what the name was as it runs in F1 weekends

[@swapnilsen451]

This guy need more subs. Man I am astonished that he has so little subs.

[@CYMotorsport]

what in the hell how is this not 10x bigger? nice video man

[@JacobBosley]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I’ll keep at it!

[@CYMotorsport]

Jacob Bosley do it man seriously. I was at 240 subs stuck before the Mexico GP then got lucky with the double DNF haha then I just started hitting recommendations finally. And your content stuff like this is what’s killing it for me as well. I don’t mean that tongue and cheek - as someone who was just there and in the f1 community I’m serious you’re going to hit soon the algorithm is hot right now and this is more entertaining than most

[@JacobBosley]

Thanks CrankyYankeeF1, I'll stick to it and see how the future goes. Good luck to your channel too!

[@Kira-29]

Thanks again!
Very well explained and summarised :) I dont expect a historic review but it was very interesting.
Dont worry about your "upload-break". Your incredibile high quality of your videos is much more important for me :)
Keep it up mate!

[@unomacaron1076]

Wow what an amazing video! Wanted to check out your other stuff after having watched this, surprise to see you only have 3k subs! Hopefully that changes in the future

[@farmatwin]

I did drive a Formula Renault 2.0 eurocup in 2006

[@fabriciolamana4106]

Most of the Project cars 2 players reconize Formula Renault 3.5

[@andenxtc]

thats why im here lol

[@Spinelli__]

Formula Renault 3.5 and FIA Formula 3000 were awesome. Especially F3000 from the 90s and early 2000s, way more "hairy" cars to drive than GP2 (or what is now called F2).

[@michiadams]

I always wondered what happened to the World Series, great explanation👍🏻

[@VehicleValhalla]

Good information 👍 Glad I subscribed

[@andrewiguodala7655]

Really appreciate these videos. I learnt a lot

[@zXPeterz14]

Could you do a formula Audi palmer video, I’ve been lucky enough to drive one of those cars and I am interested to see where the formula would slot into the current line up

[@jancaniga6994]

Great video,Could you please do British F1 Championship i think lot of people don't know about this.

[@surkey5055]

My dad was in Formula Renault!

[@marcello6810]

Do a video about F4

[@Starfire_Storm]

How about an introduction to IndyCar? You've already done a Super Formula video, so why not an IndyCar one?

[@JacobBosley]

I do have a script done for the Road to Indy but never thought about doing IndyCar, maybe I should.

[@xaboff]

@@JacobBosley i would watch it

[@JacobBosley]

In that case I'll keep that in mind for one of the upcoming videos.

[@EliasAtoLouis]

Isn't there a Formula Renault Eurocup still?

[@JacobBosley]

I mentioned this at 4:38, there is but It's running to Regional Formula Three standards and not the old Formula Renault as per the topic of the video.

[@Blueflag04]

Formula E next?

[@JacobBosley]

There's a great video by Chain Bear F1 with a very similar format covering Formula E: ruclips.net/video/eRNJpYUun0Q/видео.html
If I were to do one, I'd wait until just before the next season starts later this year to have it as up to date as possible.

[@nachoalvarez7171]

It's so sad how Formula Renault fell from grace, back then it was the most competitive racing series in the world, now it's just an Argentine thing

[@marjoh669]

Formula Palmer?

[@avus-kw2f213]

Only 400 subs !!?

[@nert-13]

Isn't Formula Renault Eurocup like the same step of the ladder as FIA Formula 3?

[@sarahgoesvroom]

more between f4 and f3 where formula regionals wpuld be

[@kakamane1390]

Formule Renault 3.5 it’s v8 not v6
