I do not have facts and figures for you, but I believe the program ended shortly after the death of Patrick Jacquemart (sic) who was the head of Renault's effort here. He was killed in a testing accident at Mid-Ohio, in I believe, one of the turbo models.

I want to say this occured in 1980 or 1981...as the LeCar was replaced (here) by the Renault Alliance shortly after.
