ALPINE CLAIMS A HISTORIC POLE POSITION AND ANOTHER PODIUM IN PORTUGAL

• Alpine Elf Matmut Endurance Team scores its second consecutive podium finish in the 2021 FIA World Endurance Championship season. • Forty-four years and a day since the last pole position of a factory prototype entered by the brand, an official Alpine starts ahead of the rest of the field in a major endurance race. • Fastest in qualifying, the A480 entrusted to Nicolas Lapierre, André Negrão, and Matthieu Vaxiviere also clocked the best lap in the race during the 8 Hours of Portimão.

After finishing second at Spa-Francorchamps, the Alpine Elf Matmut Endurance Team travelled to the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve to confirm its position as a front-runner in the FIA WEC.

Thanks to the information gathered in Belgium and the meticulous work carried out in the Bourges workshops, the team fine-tuned the A480 to adapt to the new balance of performance in force from the beginning of free practice. Nicolas Lapierre, André Negrão and Matthieu Vaxiviere immediately showed their ability to dominate the Portuguese track while progressively lowering the reference time: 1:33.781s in FP1, 1:32.074s in FP2, and 1:31.652s in FP3.
