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 |

Shocker, it's blue... Not very inspiring imo.

And somehow took out all the likes of the Acura to make it look like generic racecar option in a video game

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

I think its ok. Not the best livery but we all knew itd be blue with red and white since that's Alpine's colors. At least its not white and red!

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

Yea the engine sounds nice in fact it’s probably the best sounding 6 cylinder Hypercar.

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. |

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.
