Alpine Celebration At French Historic Endurance Event

RENAULT will be out in force at this weekend’s Le Mans Classic.

The historic alternative to the highly charged modern Le Mans 24-hour endurance race has proven popular with fans, and the French car maker will be celebrating its Alpine sub-brand by running three cars.

This seventh running of the classic race will see an Alpine M65, Alpine-Renault A110 and Alpine-Renault A443 take to the famous circuit.

First organised in 2002, the biennial Le Mans Classic splits competitors into classes covering different periods from 1923 to 1979. Away from the racetrack, the Le Mans Héritage Club ‘concours' is one of the French event's highlights.
