A leading international motorsport player, Alpine remains one of the few brands to take part in two FIA's major world championships in 2025.
With a strong endurance racing pedigree and 12 years of experience in the discipline, the A-arrow manufacturer will contest its second campaign in the premier class with the A424, a Hypercar designed and developed with the savoir-faire of the teams at Viry-Châtillon. Like in 2024, Alpine Endurance Team will field two cars in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
Alpine is counting on two talented crews with its A424s. Paul-Loup Chatin, Charles Milesi and Ferdinand Habsburg, a young and ambitious trio who showed great promise in 2024, will represent the number 35 entry. Mick Schumacher, Jules Gounon, promoted after a successful stint as a reserve driver, and Frédéric Makowiecki, a new addition with invaluable experience, will share the number 36 sister car. Matthieu Vaxiviere, who has been with the team since 2022, will continue his adventure with Les Bleus as a reserve driver. All seven will contribute to the constant development of the A424.
The drivers will represent Alpine's iconic colours on the international stage in a campaign of eight races on four continents, with eight prestigious manufacturers entered in the premier Hypercar category. Among the most eagerly awaited events of the season, the 24 Hours of Le Mans will undoubtedly be one of the year's main attractions, where the French team will race on home soil.
Under the leadership of Bruno Famin, VP Alpine Motorsports, Alpine Endurance Team is led by Team Principal Philippe Sinault and Sporting Director Nicolas Lapierre, who have three LMP2 Le Mans victories and two world titles with Alpine.
Motorsport remains firmly at the core of Alpine's ambitions, as announced by Luca de Meo in the 'Renaulution' plan, in which each Renault Group brand has been repositioned to promote its development. In addition to Endurance, Alpine’s competition portfolio includes F1, rallying, GT, esport and many other motorsport disciplines.
