Renault team principal Frederic Vassuer has revealed the French manufacturer is working on an all-new engine for next season.Following its return to a works team after its buy-out of Lotus at the end of 2015, Renault initially struggled at the beginning of the year, but has made steady progress during the second half of the season. The team has decided to develop the new power unit after feeling it has reached the maximum performance of its current engine.We have some good improvements in the pipeline. We will have a completely new engine next year, Vasseur told Motorsport.com.It is 100 percent new. It was the end of the development of the current one. We needed to do a step in order to move forward and we will do that. So far, everything is progressing and close to the expectations.With new regulations set to put the focus back on aerodynamics -- as oppose to the current emphasis on engine performance and efficiency -- Renaults customer team Red Bull is predicted to emerge as Mercedes main challenger for the championship.Vassuer confirmed the power unit concept is Renaults own design and hopes the change will help the team move up the pecking order next year.It is a Renault concept. I think we dont have to stick to the others on the engine. We made a very good improvement over the past six to eight months and if we want to do another step we need to change a little bit the concept. I think they did it.Air Max 97 Vapormax Cheap .

Air Max 97 Off White Wolf Grey Menta . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room.COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs has had his share of close games with South Carolina. He is expecting another one when the 18th-ranked Vols face the Gamecocks on Saturday.Its been one of the closest, down-to-the-wire rivalries in the Southeastern Conference in recent years, the past four games being decided by a total of 11 points. Dobbs played in the past two, leading a frantic, fourth-quarter Tennessee comeback from a two-touchdown deficit at Williams-Brice Stadium two years ago to win in overtime, 45-42.Then last year, the Vols (5-2, 2-2 SEC) survived a late rally from 17-points down by the Gamecocks (3-4, 1-4) and only secured the game on a late fumble recovery by Jalen Reeves-Maybin.On paper, the dynamic Vols seem to have a huge edge on South Carolina, which is next to last in scoring average in the Football Bowl Subdivision and a two-touchdown underdog at home.Dobbs isnt buying it.Youve got to be careful about every single game, especially in the SEC, especially when youre on the road in the SEC as well, Dobbs said. Youre going to have to bring your `A game if youre going to go into somebody elses house and come out with a `W. We understand that.Tennessee also understands it needs to get back on the winning track after two disheartening losses to No. 9 Texas A&M and No. 1 Alabama. A week off settled their nerves and got them back in a good frame of mind to make another late-season run that could possibly lead to the SEC East title.Its always in the back of our minds, Tennessee safety Todd Kelly Jr. We always want to be the best team first off that we can be and the best team in our conference. I still think we have the possibility of doing that, but it all starts with winning one game at a time.---Some other things to watch when No. 18 Tennessee faces South Carolina:NO KAMARA: Tennessee will be without running back Alvin Kamara , the teams second leadingg rusher with 313 yards.dddddddddddd Vols coach Butch Jones hadnt detailed Kamaras injury, but thought hed be back soon. The banged-up Vols do return linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr., who missed the past five games with a high-ankle sprain.MORE BENTLEY: South Carolina will continue rolling with freshman Jake Bentley as starting quarterback. The big-armed Bentley threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns -- the Gamecocks had just two TD passes its first six games -- in a 34-28 win over UMass last week. The Gamecocks also used freshman QB Brandon McIlwain in goal line situations and should do it once again.MASTER MUSCHAMP: South Carolina coach Will Muschamp has never lost to Tennessee, going 4-0 against the Vols during his four seasons as Floridas head coach. The Gamecocks, though, have lost three straight to Tennessee. Muschamp discounts that and said it will be the Gamecocks preparation that makes a difference, telling his players, `Hey, a play or two here or there and thats a different ball game and we feel a little different about the situation.BIG-TIME BARNETT: Tennessee defensive end Derek Barnett has continued his run through SEC quarterbacks. Hes tied for fifth in SEC sacks and third in tackles for loss. Hes been especially effective against the Gamecocks with 13 tackles, five tackles for loss and four sacks.OVER THE TOP: Was that Rocky Top blaring at South Carolinas practice? You bet, Muschamp said. The Tennessee fight song thats played over and over -- and over and over -- at football games can also be a motivator for the opponent, Muschamp said. Sometimes you get tired of listening to it, and you dont want to listen to it on game day, he said. So I told our guys, `Play good and you wont have to.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
