Alpine have no plans to get F1 drivers Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon involved in their Le Mans programme for the foreseeable future.
Alonso is a two-time winner of the Le Mans 24-Hour Race, in 2018 and 2019 for Toyota, the first of those years when he was still racing in Formula 1 with McLaren.
But the Spaniard should not expect to try and make it three victories in three appearances at the famous endurance event while his F1 comeback with Alpine is in progress.
An Alpine hypercar programme is under way and they will be entering the 2021 Le Mans 24-Hour Race – which was recently postponed from its usual mid-June date until August in the hope of a crowd being able to attend – with the A480.
