Calendar and race winners
Eight rounds formed meetings of the 2006 World Series by Renault season, with an additional round supporting the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix.
Note:
- Pastor Maldonado originally won the first race at Misano, but was disqualified for a technical infringement. His team, Draco Multiracing USA, appealed the decision, but on January 24, 2007, the Italian National Court of Appeal for Motorsport upheld the original ruling.[3]
- Borja García originally won the second race at Spa, but was disqualified for a technical infringement. However, on October 27, 2006, a court decided to revoke the disqualification and returned the win and points to both the driver and the team. His team, RC Motorsport, did however receive a financial penalty for the infringement.[4]
