For the third year in succession, the Renault F1 Team is joining foౠrces with Oxfam, the international development charity, to raise money 𒈔for its work around the world.

The team is providin🌺g unique items, including overalls and car parts, which will be auctioned online.

The auction will run from 20 September until 25 October and gives enthusiasts the opportunity to bid for collectible pieces of Renault F1 history,♛ including six signed Fernando Alonso items, eleven original car parts and a chance to visit the Renault F1 Team factory.

The money raised this year will once again go to Oxfam's project providing water 🐬for poor communities in North Eastern Brazil, where 11 million rural people do not have access to drinking water. Oxfam is implementing a huge project to build one million water tanks to collect rainwater in this region to ensure more people are able to access a safe water supply.

"Last years auction raised more than ?16,000 for our work in Brazil, enough money to build water tanks for 56 families, providing water for the 8 month dry season," Oxfam's c🐈orporate account manager Stephen Harvey said. "Oxfam is grateful for the Renault F1 Team's commitment to Oxfam and particularly this project, and hope that this year's auction will be as successful as the previous two years."

Driv🎃er Fernando Alon🎀so is delighted to be involved with the auction.

"It's a good opportunity to be able to help Oxfam with this project," 𝓰he said. "We race in Brazil every year, and therefore f🔯elt it would make sense to be involved in this project. It is great that items that could save our lives during a Grand Prix can then contribute to improving the lives of others".
