AN HISTORICAL MAIDEN PODIUM IN THE HYPERCAR CLASS FOR ALPINE ELF MATMUT ENDURANCE TEAM AT SPA

• Alpine Elf Matmut Endurance Team seized the rare opportunities of a relatively quiet race to take second place in the Total 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. • In the lead until the final hour of the race, the A480 in the hands of Nicolas Lapierre, André Negrão and Matthieu Vaxiviere showed that it will be a force to be reckoned with throughout the season. • With the progress throughout this week, Les Bleus will aim for the top step of the podium at the next round of the FIA World Endurance Championship in Portimão.

As tradition dictates, the season kicked off with the Prologue on Monday and Tuesday. The Alpine Elf Matmut Endurance Team used these two days of testing to better understand the A480 with Nicolas Lapierre, André Negrão and Matthieu Vaxiviere.

As the sessions progressed, the trio set faster and faster times and completed 190 laps, or just over 1,330 kilometres, with no reliability issues. The team continued to work hard on Thursday and Friday, setting the benchmark time in the second free practice session and added 92 laps to their tally before handing over to Nicolas Lapierre for qualifying.

The challenge of this ten-minute race against the clock became even more difficult when the A480 encountered a sensor problem forcing Nicolas Lapierre to return to the pits. He then went back out for a single lap, which resulted in third place in the Hypercar category.
