The Renault R25 raced in the 2005 Formula 1 season, when Fernando Alonso won his first World Championship with Renault and ended Michael Schumacher's run of titles. Its 3.0 litre V10 was among the last of the high revving V10 era before Formula 1 switched to V8 engines in 2006. Clips of the car testing, qualifying, and racing have circulated for years on video platforms and motorsport forums, and the engine note is now shared as a standalone sound for edits celebrating that championship season and Alonso's early career.
