====Association and collaboration with Renault (1977-1986, 1989-2025)====
Since 1977 until present, Mecachrome has been involved with [[Renault Sport]], the motorsport division of Renault (though today Renault Sport's F1 operations are conducted through [[Renault Sport F1]], a separate group company).

From {{f1|1983}}, Renault began to supply other teams with engines; Mecachrome being given the responsibility of preparing and assembling the engines for these customer teams such as Lotus-Renault in 1983 and Ligier-Renault in 1984. In 1985, Renault withdrew from Formula One as a constructor and from engine supply for the 1987 season. In 1989, Renault returned to F1 as an engine supplier to [[WilliamsF1]] (and [[Equipe Ligier|Ligier]] from 1992) with Mecachrome again responsible for preparing the engines for the team.

Renault engines powered Williams and Benetton to six consecutive Constructors' World Championships between 1992 and 1997 and five Drivers' titles with [[Nigel Mansell]] (1992), [[Alain Prost]] (1993), [[Michael Schumacher]] <!-- Please do not add 1994 here: Schumacher's 1994 title was achieved using a Ford engine -->(1995), [[Damon Hill]] (1996) and [[Jacques Villeneuve]] (1997).

In 1995, [[Benetton Formula|Benetton]] acquired Ligier's stock of Renault V10 engines (same specifications as Williams). In 1996, Renault was privatised and announced its withdrawal from Formula One after the 1997 season. In order to avoid protests by shareholders regarding the costs of engine development, Mecachrome agreed to pay Renault for the development work in order to continue the relationship. The 1998 engines supplied to Williams carried the Mecachrome name while Benetton's engines were badged as [[Playlife]].

In 1998, [[Flavio Briatore]]'s company, Super Performance Competition Engineering, signed a distribution agreement with Mecachrome to begin in the 1999 season. The engines were purchased and rebadged as [[Supertec]]. Supertecs powered Williams in 1999, BAR in 1999 and Arrows in 2000. Supertec also continued to power Benetton under the Playlife brand.

In 2001, Renault returned to Formula One by purchasing the Benetton team with the Renault-designed engines carrying again the Renault name. The relationship remained unchanged with Renault responsible for research and design, assembly, preparation, maintenance, trackside support and also tune-up; this relationship helped Renault win constructors' and driver's F1 championships in 2005 and 2006 with [[Fernando Alonso]].

Mecachrome-assembled Renault engines powered the [[Red Bull Racing]] Formula One team to the Constructors' Championship and Red Bull driver [[Sebastian Vettel]] to the World Drivers' Championship in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

During the start of enhanced hybrid turbocharged power unit regulations, once again Mecachrome helped [[Renault E-Tech Series (Formula One engine)|Renault Energy F1]] hybrid power unit build, development, assembly and tune-up for 2014 season onwards.
Due to the lack of success and unreliability of their engines since the beginning of the V6 turbo-hybrid era in [[2014 Formula One World Championship|2014]], on 29 September 2024, Renault announced that it would be ending its works engine programme and would therefore cease to provide engines for Alpine after 2025, when revised engine regulations are set to be introduced in [[2026 Formula One World Championship|2026]] thereby ending Mecachroome's long standing collobation with Renault in Formula One.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Alpine to close works engine programme at the end of 2025 |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/alpine-confirm-they-are-to-shut-down-works-engine-programme-at-the-end-of.2Bcubn03U8oaIOMFVggZDl |access-date=2024-09-30 |website=Formula 1® - The Official F1® Website |language=en}}</ref> [[Groupe Renault]] CEO [[Luca de Meo]] has stated financial reasons as the main reason behind ending the programme, claiming that it would be cheaper to purchase a power unit from another manufacturer than continue to develop one in-house.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Noble |first=Jonathan |title=What we learned about Renault's F1 engine shutdown |url=https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/what-we-learned-about-renaults-f1-engine-shutdown/10661130/ |website=Motorsport.com}}</ref>
====Future====
In May 2025  various media sources reported that Mecachrome had signed a deal to stay in Formula One by being an engine parts supplier.<ref>https://www.motorsportweek.com/2025/05/01/audi-snaps-up-outgoing-alpine-engine-partner-in-new-f1-deal/</ref>

===GP2 Series/FIA Formula 2 Championship===
In 2005, the [[GP2 Series]] (now [[FIA Formula 2 Championship]]) was launched as the official feeder category to [[Formula One]]. As the brainchild of [[Bernie Ecclestone]] and [[Flavio Briatore]], the new series was to be powered by Renault engines (badging only), and Mecachrome was tasked with their production. The engines were manufactured at the same base as the [[Renault F1]] units in Aubigny, France with direction from [[Heini Mader]] in Switzerland.

The company continued to provide engines and gearboxes for the GP2 Series in its second generation (2008–2010) whilst also supplying the new-for-2008 [[GP2 Asia Series]] with slightly detuned versions of the power unit which has been at the core of the GP2 Series since 2005.

Since the [[2011 GP2 Series season|2011 season]], [[Renault Sport]] no longer badge their Mecachrome engines due to [[Renault Sport]] focusing on their [[Formula One]] programme.

The [[Mecachrome V8108 GP2 V8|Mecachrome V8 GP2/F2 engines]] were jointly developed by Mecachrome and TEOS Engineering for design, tune-up, R&D, engine maintenance, arrangement and trackside support. The [[GP2 Series]]/[[FIA Formula 2 Championship]] V8 engine formula specification was in use from 2005 and was retired following the 2017 season.

===GP3 Series/FIA Formula 3 Championship===
In 2015 alongside the [[Dallara GP3/16]] car launch, Mecachrome was selected as the official engine partner and supplier of [[GP3 Series]] since 2016 season onwards.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gp3series.com/News/2015/September/New-GP316-revealed-in-Monza/|title=New GP3/16 revealed in Monza - GP3 Series|work=gp3series.com|access-date=18 October 2016}}</ref> The Mecachrome V634 GP3/F3 engines are also jointly developed by Mecachrome and TEOS Engineering for design, tune-up, R&D, engine maintenance, arrangement, shared-production and trackside support. Despite the new [[Dallara F3 2019]] car unveil, the current Mecachrome V634 which will be used by all FIA Formula 3 competitors will extend its service until at least the 2024 season.

===World Endurance Championship===
In 2017, Mecachrome partnered with [[Ginetta]] as an engine supplier for the [[Ginetta G60-LT-P1|G60-LT-P1]] LMP1 Prototype, supplying the [[Mecachrome V634 engine|V634P1, a variant of the V634 F2 engine]], which would also be turbocharged by Van Der Lee Turbo Systems. The Ginetta G60-LT-P1-AER, run by [[Manor Motorsport|CEFC TRSM]], was to compete in the [[2018 24 Hours of Le Mans]] and the full [[2018–19 FIA World Endurance Championship]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sportscar365.com/lemans/wec/mecachrome-confirmed-as-ginetta-lmp1-engine-supplier/|title=Mecachrome Confirmed as Ginetta LMP1 Engine Supplier - Sportscar365|work=sportscar365.com|date=28 February 2017 |access-date=1 March 2017}}</ref> However, after withdrawing from the opening WEC round at [[Spa-Francorchamps]] and achieving a fifth in class result at Le Mans, which was in reality a 41st position result in the overall standings, Ginetta dropped the Mecachrome V634P1 in favour of the [[Advanced Engine Research|AER P60B]] engines. This was done due to a performance deficit from the turbo V6 engine, and the lack of response to calls for a development programme from Mecachrome Motorsport, with the stated aim being to unlock the true performance of the chassis.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dailysportscar.com/2018/08/03/ginetta-to-test-with-aer-engine-as-trsm-set-to-withdraw-from-silverstone.html|title=Ginetta To Test With AER Engine As TRSM Set To Withdraw From Silverstone – dailysportscar.com|website=www.dailysportscar.com|access-date=2019-12-12}}</ref> Mecachrome Motorsport responded to Ginetta's announcement soon afterwards, also revealing that it intended to continue its LMP1 engine programme, although it has yet to find any customers to run the engine in any chassis since.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mecachrome Motorsport Responds to Ginetta LMP1 Announcement |url=http://mecachromemotorsport.com/2018/08/06/mecachrome-motorsport-responds-to-ginetta-lmp1-announcement/ |website=Mecachrome Motorsport |access-date=6 August 2018 |archive-date=9 August 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180809203649/http://mecachromemotorsport.com/2018/08/06/mecachrome-motorsport-responds-to-ginetta-lmp1-announcement/ |url-status=usurped }}</ref> Ginetta technical director Ewan Baldry later responded to Mecachrome's claims, acknowledging that while the engine utilised at Le Mans was a first specification engine, the engine was underpowered and did not meet the contractually agreed performance targets.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mecachrome Respond To Silverstone TRSM Withdrawal (Plus Ginetta Response)|url=http://www.dailysportscar.com/2018/08/06/mecachrome-respond-to-silverstone-trsm-withdrawal-plus-ginetta-response.html|access-date=12 December 2019}}</ref>

From the [[2024 FIA World Endurance Championship|2024 WEC season]] onward, Mecachrome provided the engines for the two [[Signatech|Alpine-entered]] [[Alpine A424|A424s]], supplying a heavily modified version of the [[Mecachrome V634 engine|V634]] engine used in FIA Formula 2.<ref name="msw2">{{cite web |last=Oakley |first=Phil |date=16 June 2023 |title=New Alpine A424 Hypercar will use 'heavily modified' version of F2 engine |url=https://www.motorsportweek.com/2023/06/16/new-alpine-a424-hypercar-will-use-heavily-modified-version-of-f2-engine/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230713093402/https://www.motorsportweek.com/2023/06/16/new-alpine-a424-hypercar-will-use-heavily-modified-version-of-f2-engine/ |archive-date=13 July 2023 |access-date=13 July 2023 |work=Motorsportweek}}</ref> At the [[2024 24 Hours of Le Mans]], both Alpines retired with engine issues: the #35 entry stopped at Arnage after five hours with smoke blowing out of the car, whilst the #36 ended their race in the pits during hour 6.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-06-15 |title=LM24, Hour: 6: Alpine drops out of the fight |url=https://racer.com/2024/06/15/lm24-hour-6-alpine-drops-out-of-the-fight/ |access-date=2024-07-03 |website=RACER |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=2024 LM24 Hour 5: #35 Alpine Suffers Mechanical Failure |url=https://www.dailysportscar.com/2024/06/15/2024-lm24-hour-5-35-alpine-suffers-mechanical-failure-83-ferrari-holds-advantage.html |access-date=2024-07-03 |website=www.dailysportscar.com}}</ref>
