...from 2018.

Hopefully along with the whole Renault brand.

I get the feeling that they're going to be watching the Fiat expansion and Alfa introduction (if it happens) before committing.

In this interview , Alpine LMP2 boss Philippe Sinault said: "It(the move from ELMS to the WEC) was a logical progression for us, but also a move Alpine wanted to take because from 2018 it will be selling its new sportscar [due to go on sale in Europe next year] in other markets around the world, such as the USA and China."

They need to build this and sell it. When Kimi drove it I was like, HO LEE SHIT. Screw a McLaren, I want that.

Let's hope they build a racecar to accompany the brand, a racecar that is not just a rebranded Oreca.

Isn't Zytech working on a new LMP2 coupe? They could use that.

Yes, an Alpine that could walk in the footsteps of the bonkers A442 and A443 (and the A441 and 440 before that).

Yep, it's set for 2016 if I recall correctly.

Aliens could come to American in 2018. As could walking Twinkies. It would be cool, but I'm not counting on it.

Yes, but I'm thinking that the boss of Alpine's racing projects knows a little more than we do.
