After a promising test day, Wednesday was a mixed bag for Alpine, with both A424s securing spots in Hyperpole 1 after qualifying, but experiencing performance issues with the LMDh prototype. The team made changes to the setup but didn’t get the expected results, prompting deeper analysis of the situation.
The French outfit, led by Philippe Sinault, is focused on understanding the car better for a successful Le Mans outing. Progress has been made in setup, tyre knowledge, and software management, but there’s still more to uncover about the prototype in specific conditions.
With little time left before the race, Alpine is aiming to minimize errors and fine-tune their race setup for a competitive showing at Le Mans. The team acknowledges the challenge posed by the level of competition and the importance of flawless performance to secure a strong result.
