The Renault R26 was the Formula One car with which the Renault F1 team contested the 2006 season. Its chassis was designed by Bob Bell, James Allison, Tim Densham and Dino Toso under Pat Symonds, with Rob White leading the engine design, and it was driven by Fernando Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella. It was the first V8 powered car from the Enstone team since the Benetton B194. The R26 won 8 of the 18 races, took Renault to the Constructors Championship by five points over Ferrari and gave Alonso his second Drivers Championship in a row. It used a tuned mass damper in the nose until the FIA banned the device midseason. The R26 was succeeded by the R27 for 2007.
