Renault will carry out a roadshow through 15 different French towns and cities in April and May - as part of the build-up to the 2019 French Grand Prix.

After a decade-long absence, the French Grand Prix was back on the Formula 1 calendar in 2018 - with Paul Ricard hosting an F1 race for the first time since 1990.

Renault will show off its 2012-spec E20 F1 car, and the Renault Sport R.S.01 across its home country, in various locations around France, which will begin with a two-day show at Disneyland Paris early next month.

Drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Nico Hulkenberg, as well as former Williams man and now Renault reserve driver, Sergey Sirotkin, will be in attendance on certain days.

"This roadshow tour continues to expand throughout the country with, this year, the exceptional participation of 15 cities from six different regions," the French GP chief Christian Estrosi said.

"I warmly thank the presidents of the Sud Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur and Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes regions, the partners who are accompanying us on ths tour, as well as the mayors of the 14 municipalities that are hosting us for this unique event in the world.

"I look forward to meeting you there to share this preview of the Formula 1 Grand Prix de France."

The French Grand Prix takes place on Sunday, 23 June.
