Alpine A424 Meets Historic A442B Predecessor at WEC Farewell
Championships & Races · 12:29:42 - Sunday, 15 November 2026

Alpine's current World Endurance Championship challenger, the A424 hypercar, shared track time with its historic predecessor, the A442B, during a farewell event marking the French manufacturer's departure from the series. The meeting of past and present Alpine endurance racers provided a visual link between the brand's 1978 Le Mans-winning car and its modern LMDh contender.

The A442B, which secured Alpine's sole overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with drivers Didier Pironi and Jean-Pierre Jaussaud, appeared alongside the A424 that has competed in the FIA WEC Hypercar class since 2024. The session served as a tribute to Alpine's endurance racing heritage as the program concludes its current WEC campaign.
