Alpine will reveal its new LMDh contender for the 2024 WEC season at next month's Le Mans 24 Hours:
Alpine will reveal the LMDh car with which it will return to the World Endurance Championship’s Hypercar class in 2024 at next month’s Le Mans 24 Hours.Christened the Alpine A110 R Le Mans, the Oreca LMP2-based hybrid contender will be revealed on 7 June at the Circuit de la Sarthe ahead of the centenary edition of the French endurance classic.
The A480 was an Oreca-built car originally designed for the defunct Rebellion Racing team, meaning the A100 R Le Mans will be the first Hypercar that will be manufactured directly by Alpine - although it will be based on Oreca’s next-generation LMP2 chassis as part of the LMDh regulations. Details about the Alpine A110 R Le Mans are spare at the moment, but executive director Bruno Famin revealed last year that it won’t use an F1 engine as the base of its powertrain, citing high costs. A spec-hybrid system from Bosch, Xtrac and Williams Advanced Engineering will be mated to the Alpine-designed internal combustion engine.
Alpine is expected to put all its focus on its Hypercar project next year, with its 2023 LMP2 programme expected to be a stopgap until its LMDh car was ready for 2024. The LMP2 class will be dropped from the WEC anyway in 2024, although the ACO has promised 15 entries at next year’s Le Mans.
