ALPINE ELF ENDURANCE TEAM PRINCIPAL

As we enter our tenth year with Alpine, it was important for us to rely on the same trio to drive the A480 in the Hypercar category. We already managed to find a balanced operation with excellent interpersonal relationships, two key factors for success in Endurance. At the same time, the off-season was very short, but we worked hard to improve our package. With the arrival of new competitors in the category, the technical elements will likely evolve and we have done a huge amount of work to have an even better season than last year. We have to be ambitious in the elite category and we are doing our best every day to live up to this prestigious and exciting challenge."
