I actually think it will be fine, it was more a comment, and a bit of fun, on how the article and quotes sounded.

FWW I don’t consider Mecachrome or Renault Sport’s track record as anything special for endurance racing, but they are competent and I am sure it will be fine. In the modern day the rules aren’t asking for anything that outlandish.

Renault does really build exploding claptrap but they aren't exactly setting the world on fire with demand for the F1 product either. But works is the name of the modern game and they can figure out what fails and fix those bits without much extra cost since they have the crew

But yeah, having to mention it feels a bit

Interesting... taking the matching bright work styling cues, which lets you know who it is. Very nice.

If you want uninspiring, check out the F1 livery they revealed moments after.

Agreed. Absolutely in love with the tail lights as well. Glad they made it from concept to reality.

Well, they both use the Oreca chassis for lmdh. So there's the majority of the similarities.

The sound of the engine is good (surprise for a turbocharged V6), the car will have a real ontrack personnality.

Only from the low front angle, different treatment above the nose and side from the pictures I've seen. It's not Caddy vs BMW treatment but they both use heavily street car inspired nose so they'll be different

It’s no Penske Porsche, but it is alright.

The greenhouse area is the most likeness between those two. But I think this Alpine and the Acura are pretty unique. The nosecone especially.

I love it! I don't know what it is with Alpine but they're such a cool 'little' company amongst giants! Big fan, hope they do well.

Official video from the Barcelona test. The current version of this car (final I assume since Qatar is almost there) is only the second hypercar to feature two dive planes.

The greenhouse is part of the safety structure of the car and chassis right?
So I imagine LMMDHs based on the same chassis will always have the greenhouse pretty similar to one another

I think they will have the identical greenhouse with possibly some wrap or other feature to change to the appearance. The areas they can tweak were expanded with the "DPi 2.0" idea but think it was front, rear and sidepod treatments and then some internal bits and bobs

Losail was a great first race and a good result for Sinault's team with two cars at the checkered flag and no big issue. Good job.
