Alpine at 2018 FIA World Endurance Championship

“Vying for the title just until the final race of last season, the Signatech #alpine Matmut team fully participated in the renewal of the LMP2 category in the FIA World #endurance Championship. The level of performance and the demands had never been as great and we expect the 2018 season to be just as competitive. To aim for the highest step of the podium, we can count on our knowledge of the #alpine #a470, driven by a trio of experienced and fast drivers and supported by a technical team whose motivation knows no limits. It is blue blood that runs through our veins!” Philippe Sinault Signatech #alpine Matmut Team Principal.

2018 Programme

In 2018, #alpine will begin the sixth season of its contemporary programme in #endurance. Entered under the banner of the Signatech #alpine Matmut team, the #alpine #a470 will race with the number 36 on the entry list of the FIA #wec World Championship in the LMP2 category.


Seven teams are entered in this category for the entire season. The opposition will once again be fierce at the 24-Hours of Le Mans as 20 cars are expected to participate.


World Champions in 2016 and third in 2017, the factory #alpine team obviously figures among the candidates for the win.


The 2018 team is composed of:

  • Nicolas Lapierre. He ticks all the requisite boxes for an #endurance driver; fast, easy on the tyres and fuel, skilful with set-up and a strong sense of team spirit.
  • André Negrão. One of the revelations of the 2017 season, while he was an #endurance newcomer. In addition to his will to win, he also brings his Brazilian love of life to the team.
  • Pierre Thiriet. A solid driver, fast and reliable, who has seven years of #endurance experience and who is living the dream of many French racers: to represent the #alpine colours.


This crew has been formed in compliance with the regulations, which require at least one «Silver» category driver in each LMP2 car.
