Alpine to celebrate its motorsport passion with a pre 24 hours of Le Mans parade

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

  • Alpine will mark its return to the premier class of the 24 Hours of #LeMans with a unique parade before the start of the race.
  • On Saturday at 14h10, the #Event will bring together the #alpine F1, A470, A110 GT4, A110 Rally and A110S on the world-famous French circuit.
  • Alpine F1 Team drivers #fernandoalonso and #estebanocon will be joined by several of Alpine's motor #racing stars

Born from #competition for #competition, #alpine has steadily expanded its motorsport presence on track and rally stages since 2013 under the impetus of a programme spanning several disciplines. Now victorious on all surfaces, #alpine will celebrate its passion for motorsport with a parade at the 24 Hours of #LeMans. This curtain-raiser to the race will see the #alpine F1 Team drivers join in the excitement of #LeMans week. Two-time FIA Formula One World Champion and two-time 24 Hours of #LeMans winner #fernandoalonso will drive an #alpine F1 car in the colours of the A521. After scoring Alpine's first F1 success at the Hungarian Grand Prix, #estebanocon will also be on hand in an A110 GT4, a car that won the 2018 GT4 International Cup before enjoying more success across Europe.

Pierre Thiriet, who won the 2018 and 2019 24 Hours of #LeMans in his FIA World Endurance Championship LMP2 titlewinning campaign along with #alpine Elf Matmut Endurance Team drivers André Negrão and Nicolas Lapierre, will be reunited with the A470. French two-wheel-drive Rally Champion and 2021 Monte Carlo Rally winner in the FIA R-GT Cup, Manu Guigou will complete this panorama of Alpine's #racing programme with the A110 Rally. Five A110S production cars will also participate with VIPs such as #alpine eSports Team driver Nicolas Longuet, Junior category leader of the #alpine Elf Europa Cup Lilou Wadoux, and #alpine CEO Laurent Rossi behind the wheel. The parade, scheduled to take place less than two hours before the start of the race, will showcase the unrivalled breadth of Alpine's #competition programme, which will try to add another entry to its already impressive 24 Hours of #LeMans track record.

About Alpine
Founded in 1955 by Jean Rédélé, the brand has set itself apart with its French-style sports car. In 2018, the brand presented the new A110, a sports car faithful to Alpine’s timeless principles of compactness, lightness, agility and driving pleasure. In 2021, #alpine Cars, Renault Sport Cars and Renault Sport #racing joined forces under the #alpine flagship. It thus became the brand dedicated to innovative, authentic, exclusive sportscars of Groupe Renault, benefiting from the heritage and craftsmanship of its historical plant in Dieppe, as well as the engineering mastery from the Formula One and Renault Sport teams.
