According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2020\/09\/14\/renaults-new-alpine-racing-division-will-enter-the-wec-and-compete-at-le-mans\/\">Autoblog<\/a>, the brand&#8217;s general manage made the announcement on September 14.<\/p>\n<p>The publication also said that Luca de Meo, the CEO, sees Alpine as an important initiative for the automaker make a full recovery and become a true force in the motoring world. This month he also announced Renault&#8217;s Formula One team will be rebranded as Alpine.<\/p>\n<p>The car for the WEC will be built around an Oreca chassis and a Gibson engine. It will compete in the LMP1 category. &#8220;<strong>The timing is just right now for Alpine to move up in LMP1.<\/strong> Renault has clear, strong ambitions to position it as the sports brand of the group, and therefore it makes sense to raise the bandwidth of Alpine,&#8221; said Alpine General Manager Patrick Marinoff.<\/p>\n<p>Off the racetrack, it seems Alpine will be expanding its lineup. COVID-19 has caused some issues with the brand, sending it in a downward trajectory, which was already not going well. Meo said in an internal memo that he wanted to see more vehicles in Alpine&#8217;s range, including a convertible. The company wants to follow Porsche&#8217;s model, according to Autoblog. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future for this brand. I&#8217;d love to see more Alpine models in the future and see the company do well in WEC racing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Is Excellent Renault has a new sports division Alpine and it will enter the 2021 World Endurance Championship.
