Alpine will run two cars in the LMP2 class of the WEC this year. Here's the team's full driver line-up:
As reported by Motorsport.com previously, the Signatech run-Alpine team will run two rebadged Oreca 07-Gibson cars in the LMP2 class of the WEC this year, a transition season for the team before it returns to the Hypercar category in 2024 with an LMDh contender.
Vaxiviere will team up with two-time LMP2 champion Julien Canal and ex-Richard Mille driver Charles Milesi in the #36 Alpine A470, while Negrao will join double European Le Mans Series title winner Memo Rojas and Olli Caldwell in the sister #35 entry. The Frenchman hopes to return to a race seat next year, when Alpine moves back to the Hypercar class, in his bid to add an overall Le Mans will to his CV.
“We are proud of our trios mixing experienced drivers with great potentials. Everyone knows the qualities and skills of Matthieu, André and Charles, while Julien's experience speaks for itself as does Memo's track record.
