It would be difficult given racing car parts and road cars are cast side-by-side!

Ferrari have an excellent level of integration between the race team and road car manufacturing, which really adds to the mystique!

Do Enstone employees really feel like part of Renault or Alpine, by comparison?

The Alpine/RenaultSport Dieppe factory is relatively small in mass production terms -- 5,000-10,000 units p/a IIRC, simialr to Ferrrari production volumes. If possible, maybe the Alpine Grand Prix team should be located there to have closer integration with Alpine road cars like Ferrari (I'm guessing Dieppe is where Alpine sports prototype racers were made in the 1970's)?

The Alpine plant in Dieppe is a site dedicated to the production of small series, sports and competition vehicles. Flexible and with little automation, the workshops at the Dieppe plant can accommodate all types of vehicles, as its history shows. The Dieppe plant is the birthplace of Alpine.

FOUNDED IN: 1969
ACTIVITY: Installation/assembly series vehicles, assembly and sale of competition vehicles, sale of spare parts for racing cars.

The story of Alpine (later RenaultSport and now Alpine again) in Dieppe is not so different from Ferrari at Maranello... Maybe Group Renault should leverage that?

There should be so much passion for the French national team Alpine racing proudly in French racing blue, but where is it?!

[To be fair, Aston Martin haven't done much better in getting fans in the stands out there waving Union Flags, but at least the cars are painted and presented nicely and the green team uniforms look sharp.]
