France's Alpine will soon be racing in both F1 and the Hypercar class of the World Endurance Championship.
Fans won't have to wait until the new season to see the car as Alpine will present it for the first time on June 9 on the sidelines of the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans. The French classic is the highlight of the WEC calendar.
LMDh cars race alongside LMH cars in the WEC's Hypercar class, with Balance of Performance rules used to provide an even playing field.Although LMDh cars are also eligible for the GTP class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship, Alpine hasn't said whether it will tackle the North American series.Alpine is committed to at least four seasons of LMDh and plans to field two cars per season, working closely with its current endurance racing partner, Signatech.
To keep a lid on costs, teams competing in LMDh need to use a chassis from one of four suppliers. Alpine has selected a chassis from Oreca., developed using knowledge gained from its Formula 1 program. Alpine is both a constructor and power unit supplier in F1, and plans to stay there to help build brand awareness in the U.S. and China, where interest in F1 is growing.
