Reverse: The entire background shows a checkered flag. Along the rim on top, “Liberty Equality Fraternity”. In the center, “RF” for “French Republic” and a racing car. At the bottom, the face value and year of issue.

Obverse: Along the rim, “Manufacturers’ Formula 1 2006 World Champions” (in French). In the center, “Manufacturers’ Formula One World Champions” (in English) and “Renault 2006”, surrounded by “FIA” (the International Automobile Federation) and a crown of laurels, a victory symbol.

In 2006, Renault won seven of the first nine races, but lost ground to rivals Ferrari in the second half of the season. Nevertheless, the Renault team held on to retain both drivers' and constructors' championship titles. The first organized Grand Prix was run from Paris to Rouen in 1894 over a distance of 126 km. The winning "horseless carriage" had to be "safe, easily controllable and reasonably economical to run."
