The F4 Eurocup 1.6 was made part of the World Series in 2010, but was then folded for 2011.
Renault started the Formula Renault V6 Eurocup in 2003, as a support series in Eurosport's Super Racing Weekends (ETCC and FIA GT Championship).
The series ran with Tatuus chassis and a Nissan 3.5 L V6 engine.
The Dallara chassis was retained, while the Renault V6 was improved to 425 PS.
At the end of July 2015, Renault Sport announced it would be withdrawing its backing to the Formula Renault 3.5 from 2016 onwards, handing the control of the series to co-organiser RPM.
