The Alpine LMDh could be headed to IMSA in the coming years, pending the expansion plans of its road car division
Alpine says it would be “logical” to compete in the IMSA SportsCar Championship once the brand inches closer to entering the North American automotive market. The French manufacturer has revealed it is open to the idea of expanding its factory LMDh programme with the A424 beyond the World Endurance Championship in the future, having just clinched its first podium at Fuji last month.
“There is no real plan, there is an idea for the time being to race in IMSA, because it's not a secret that Alpine the brand would like to be on the American market one of these coming years and, of course, motorsport is the way to develop the brand awareness.
