Alpine Endurance reserve driver Jules Gounon told MotorsportWeek.com that the Alpine A424 LMDh car is much stiffer than what he’s
In an interview with MotorsportWeek.com, the Frenchman mentioned that the stiffness of the LMDh cars makes it challenging to feel the car’s behavior on track. He has taken over the #35 Alpine A424 from Ferdinand Habsburg, who suffered back injuries during a test at Motorland Aragon, missing the 6 Hours of Imola. Racing with teammates Milesi and Chatin at Imola, Gounon is adapting his driving style to the stiff A424, aiming to learn and improve with every lap. Transitioning from the factory Mercedes-AMG GT3 to the A424, Gounon finds the car’s responsiveness different, requiring adjustments in driving approach. Despite the challenges, Gounon is focused on filling Habsburg’s shoes and making progress in his endurance racing experience.
