Alpine has announced that it will be participating for the first time ever in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
The firm will be participating in the 19.93km-long course alongside its FIA World Endurance Championship partner, French auto racing team Signatech. The firms will tackle the peak on 25 June with an Alpine A110 GT4 Evo (read our review of the Alpine A110 here).
The modified A110 GT4 Evo set to undertake the hill climb has yet to be fully revealed, although Alpine states that it has undergone extensive development work to master the subtleties of this iconic climb and features imposing aerodynamic appendages to keep it stuck to the ground.
The car will be competing in the 'Time Attack 1' category, and as such will remain in two-wheel drive mode in a field where it will be alongside more atypical prototypes with different philosophies, such as those entered in the 'Unlimited' category. Alpine will rely on the experience of Raphael Astier in its maiden Pikes Peak appearance. Winner of the 2022 FIA R-GT Cup with the Alpine A110 Rally, the Frenchman has four previous Pikes Peak starts to his name.
