[edit] Formula Renault

In 2005 he participated in the Formula Renault 2.0 France championship for the first time with the team Epsilon Sport. He finished 13th overall and was 2nd rookie[2].

In 2006 he raced in both the Formula Renault 2.0 French and Eurocup championships placing 5th in the French championship with 1 win. Since he only raced in 2 of the Eurocup races he was not classified that season[2].

In 2007 Panciatici was selected to be a part of the Renault Driver Development and continued to race in the Formula 2.0 Renault Eurocup and French championships. He was very quick in the pre-season testing, but he had a tough season in both the French championship and the Eurocup with only 3 podiums. At the end of the season he switched from the team SG Formula to the team Boutsen-Energy Racing and had some better results there[4].
