Alpine marks 40th anniversary of Le Mans triumph at Rétromobile Paris
Four #endurance #racing prototypes will be on display at this year’s Rétromobile Show in #paris this week.
Visitors to the #alpine stand will be able to admire not only the 1978 Le Mans-winning N°2 A442 B, but also the N°3 and N°4 A442s and the N°1 A443.
Paris, February 7, 2018 – Groupe Renault is pleased to announce that #alpine will be present at the 2018 Rétromobile Show which will run at the French capital’s #paris Expo Porte de Versailles complex on February 7-11.
It was almost 40 years ago, on June 10, 1978, that an entry four Renault-Alpine prototypes lined up for the start of the Le Mans 24 Hours.
The N°1 Renault-Alpine A443 topped the order at the 18-hour mark before being side-lined. However, its place was snapped up by the N°2 Renault-Alpine A442 B of Didier Pironi and Jean-Pierre Jaussaud who successfully defended their lead for the remaining quarter of the race to win the world’s biggest #endurance race.
The squad was managed by Gérard Larrousse who fielded three different versions of the car in his bid to win the French classic, namely two A442s, an A442 B and an A443. The former had appeared competitively in previous seasons, but the other two prototypes were developed especially for the 1978 Le Mans 24 Hours.
