Sports season
The 2010 Formula Renault 3.5 Series was the sixth season of the single–seater category . It began at the Ciudad del Motor de Aragón in Spain on 17 April, and ended at Circuit de Catalunya , also in Spain, on 10 October.
The Drivers' championship was won by Carlin 's Mikhail Aleshin after a last–race title decider with Tech 1 Racing driver Daniel Ricciardo . The Russian claimed the title by just two points after both drivers entered the final race level on 128 points each. He received his prize Renault F1 drive on the first day of the young driver test held at the Yas Marina Circuit , Abu Dhabi on 16 November.[ 1] Tech 1 Racing won the Teams' championship from Czech squad ISR Racing .
It was due to be the final season for the current Dallara chassis, which was due to be replaced by a new car, developed by Renault Sport Technologies , in time for the 2011 season.[ 2] However, the series has extended the lifespan of the current car into the 2011 season to "avoid placing undue financial pressures on teams in the prevalent tough market conditions".[ 3]
The engines were re–tuned from 8,200 RPM to 8,500 RPM.[ 4]
Boost control was banned.[ 4]
The duration of the two Friday practice sessions was increased from 60 minutes to 75 minutes each.[ 4]
The grid for the second race was no longer decided using the reverse grid and SuperPole system. Each meeting (with the exception of Monaco ) now featured two 30–minute qualifying sessions and two races of 44 minutes + one lap.[ 4]
During the Saturday of each meeting, the cars raced in a "light-aerodynamic" configuration, which was defined by Renault Sport Technologies.[ 4]
