Alpine Endurance Team reserve driver Jules Gounon will compete in his third FIA WEC race of the 2024 season at the upcoming 6 Hours of Fuji. He will replace Paul-Loup Chatin in the No. 35 A424 Hypercar, joining Charles Milesi and Ferdinand Habsburg. Gounon’s participation at Fuji was planned by Alpine at the start of the season to further his development within the team. Originally scheduled as his first Hypercar start, Gounon had to step in for Habsburg at Imola and Spa due to Habsburg’s injury during testing. Chatin will return for Alpine’s Hypercar lineup at the season finale in Bahrain. The 2024 6 Hours of Fuji will take place on September 15th.
