Renault's UK boss moves to Renault Sport

Renault UK boss Philippe Talou-Derible is to switch to the role of commercial director at Renault Sport Technologies, the division responsible for finding closer links between Renault's racing activities and its showroom products.Talou-Derible, a keen car enthusiast and collector, takes up the appointment at the beginning of November and will be based at Renault's Paris HQ. He is saying little about his new role, beyond the fact that it will "take time to develop".

But he will probably be involved in managing the group's future motorsport policy, in devising new products to be sold under the Renault Sport banner, and in finding new activities for the famous old Renault Sport (formerly Alpine) factory in Dieppe.

Steve Cropley Autocar
Title: Editor-in-chief

Steve Cropley is the oldest of Autocar’s editorial team, or the most experienced if you want to be polite about it. He joined over 30 years ago, and has driven many cars and interviewed many people in half a century in the business. 

Cropley, who regards himself as the magazine’s “long stop”, has seen many changes since Autocar was a print-only affair, but claims that in such a fast moving environment he has little appetite for looking back. 

He has been surprised and delighted by the generous reception afforded the My Week In Cars podcast he makes with long suffering colleague Matt Prior, and calls it the most enjoyable part of his working week.
