Alpine says it had been debating running two-driver crews in six-hour World Endurance Championship rounds for “a long time”, after rejigging its line-up for this weekend’s Fuji 6 Hours.
The French manufacturer caused a stir earlier this week when it announced that Antonio Felix da Costa and Fred Makowiecki will sit out the sixth round of the 2026 WEC, leaving two drivers in each of its two A424 LMDh prototypes.
