The purported copyright violation copies text from https://cdn.group.renault.com/ren/master/renault-classic/tools-and-services/LaSagaGORDINI.pdf (Copyvios report); as such, this page has been listed on the copyright problems page.

Unless the copyright status of the text of this page or section is clarified and determined to be compatible with Wikipedia's content license, the problematic text and revisions or the entire page may be deleted one week after the time of its listing.

What can I do to resolve the issue?

If you hold the copyright to this text, you can license it in a manner that allows its use on Wikipedia.
1. You must permit the use of your material under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
2. Explain your intent to license the content on this article's discussion page.
3. To confirm your permission, you can either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under CC BY-SA and the GFDL. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
4. Note that articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; consider whether, copyright issues aside, your text is appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.
You can demonstrate that this text is in the public domain or is already under a license suitable for Wikipedia. Explain this on this article's discussion page, with reference to evidence. Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Compatibly licensed may assist in determining the status.
Otherwise, you may rewrite this page without copyright-infringing material. Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage. Please mention the rewrite upon completion on this article's discussion page.
- Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.)
- For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
- It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Wikipedia and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.

The CH-Type was a 90° V6 engine developed by Renault-Gordini for Renault's autosport activities. This François Castaing design was the predecessor of the famous EF series.

In 1972, after an agreement was reached with Elf, François Castaing, technical director of Renault Gordini, was given the go-ahead to build a 2-litre engine that could be used in a "sports" model and then in Formula 2. His team opted for a 90° V6, which was released in 1973 and was named the "type CH1" in honour of Claude Haardt, who had died in an accident a few months earlier.

Engines

[edit]

CH1

[edit]

1973–1977

[edit]

CH1 (N/A): 2.0 L (1,997 cc) Bore x stroke 86 mm × 57.3 mm (3.39 in × 2.26 in)

285 bhp (213 kW; 289 PS) at 9,800 rpm (1973), 300 bhp (224 kW; 304 PS) at 10,500 rpm (1977)

This V6 engine with four overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder would prove highly successful. Its record reads as follows:

European 2-litre Sports-Prototype Champion 1974, winning all seven races and the top three spots in the championship standings with the Alpine A441.
European Formula 2 Champion 1976 with Elf 2, which notched up four race wins, four pole positions and six podium finishes in 12 races.
European Formula 2 Champion 1977 with Martini MK 22, which amassed five race wins, two pole positions and six podium finishes in 13 races.
A total of 14 race wins and eight podium finishes in 23 races in three seasons of 2-litre sportsprototype racing (1973–75) with the Alpine A 440 and A 441.
A total of 14 race wins, 10 pole positions and 20 podium finishes in 25 Formula 2 races in the 1976 and 1977 seasons, with the Elf 2 and Martini MK 19 and MK 22.

CHS

[edit]

1975–1978

[edit]

CHS (Turbo): 2.0 L (1,997 cc) Bore x stroke 86 mm × 57.3 mm (3.39 in × 2.26 in)

500 bhp (373 kW; 507 PS) at 9,500 rpm (1975–1978)

Used for the 1975 and 1976 World Championship for Makes and the 1977 and 1978 Le Mans 24 Hours, this engine fully accomplished its second goal, with:

One victory and five podium finishes in the 1975 and 1976 championships with the Alpine A441T and A442.
Second place in the 1977 Le Mans 24 Hours with a Mirage GR8.
Victory in the 1978 Le Mans 24 Hours with the Alpine A442 B.

CHS 2

[edit]

1975–1978

[edit]

CHS 2 (Turbo): 2.1 L (2,138 cc) Bore x stroke 89 mm × 57.3 mm (3.50 in × 2.26 in)

520 bhp (388 kW; 527 PS)/540 bhp (403 kW; 547 PS) at 9,500 rpm (1978)

Taking full advantage of engine capacity regulations by extending the bore to 89 mm (3.5 in) while maintaining the same stroke of 57.3 mm (2.26 in), this engine enabled the only Alpine A443 entered at Le Mans in 1978 to tire out the Porsches and help the Alpine A442 B to victory.
