When Alpine first made the decision to enter the WEC’s Hypercar class in 2021, it was able to obtain the Rebellion R-13 LMP1 car from its previous owner, rebrand it as the Alpine A480, and join the grid in little time.
It gave Alpine a relatively easy entry into the top echelon of sportscar racing, and it enjoyed a fair bit of success, winning at Sebring and Monza against stiff competition from Toyota, albeit with some equalisation help.
