Alpine: Alpenglow prototype will help determine costs of hydrogen Le Mans project

Alpine's Alpenglow hydrogen prototype will help the French manufacturer weigh up the costs involved in a possible Le Mans 24 Hours entry using the technology, says motorsport boss Bruno Famin.

Alpine stopped short of making a full commitment to the hydrogen ruleset that will be employed at the World Endurance Championship's showpiece event from 2027 following the global reveal of its Alpenglow Hy4 - powered by a hydrogen-fuelled internal combustion engine - at Spa earlier this month.

'More and more we see that H2 especially in endurance is the right way to go,' said Niclot. 'I will joke, but we don’t force them to do these developments and they do it; it means that we are on the right way I think, it’s the best proof this.' ACO President Pierre Fillon has predicted that multiple manufacturers will be engaged by 2029. Asked if a hydrogen combustion car could win Le Mans as soon as 2027, Famin replied that it would depend on what the regulations stipulate.
