2012 World Series by Renault

The 2012 World Series by Renault was the eighth season of Renault Sport's series of events, with four different championships racing under one banner. Consisting of the Formula Renault 3.5 Series, Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, the Eurocup Mégane Trophy and Eurocup Clio, the World Series by Renault ran at seven different venues,^[1] where fans could get into the meetings for no cost whatsoever, such is the uniqueness of the series.

The series began on 5 Nay at the Ciudad del Motor de Aragón in Alcañiz, and finished on 21 October at the Circuit de Catalunya, just outside Barcelona. Round at Monza was dropped. While brand new Moscow Raceway was included in series' schedule, while Formula Renault 3.5 had two extra races on its own, in support of the Monaco Grand Prix and 6 Hours of Silverstone.
