Alpine says it will be “logical” to compete within the IMSA SportsCar Championship as soon as the model inches nearer to getting into the North American automotive market.

The French producer has revealed it’s open to the thought of increasing its manufacturing facility LMDh programme with the A424 past the World Endurance Championship sooner or later, having simply clinched its first podium at Fuji final month.

The WEC and IMSA have agreed a technical convergence that enables producers to compete in each championships with the identical automobile, that means the A424 that debuted in March this yr is eligible to compete within the latter’s GTP class.

IMSA is based in the USA, the place Alpine at the moment has no direct presence, however mum or dad firm Renault has laid out plans for Alpine to promote automobiles on the planet’s second-biggest four-wheel market from 2027.

Bruno Famin, VP of motorsport at Alpine, thinks becoming a member of IMSA will present the French producer with a significant advertising and marketing increase for its potential launch in North America.

“We might be pleased [to race in IMSA],” Famin advised Motorsport.com. 

“There isn’t any actual plan, there may be an thought in the interim to race in IMSA, as a result of it isn’t a secret that Alpine the model wish to be on the American market one in every of these coming years and, in fact, motorsport is the best way to develop the model consciousness.

“After all, as soon as the model will resolve to go to the US, it will likely be very logical to have an IMSA programme. 

“However for the second, it is simply on the degree of the thought. We’ve [it] in thoughts, we’re it. There isn’t any concrete mission but.”

Alpine’s WEC programme is a full-fledged manufacturing facility effort run in collaboration with its long-standing companion Signatech.

Nevertheless, a standard IMSA effort usually includes a group taking over a extra hands-on position with the working of the automobile, as seen with Chip Ganassi/Cadillac and Wayne Taylor Racing/Acura.

Requested if he had spoken with any groups in North America about fielding the Alpine A424 in IMSA, he mentioned: “Not but, not actually but. We’ve some contact as a result of I do know some guys there. However nothing but. 

“Once more, it isn’t a mission in the interim. It is simply an thought.”
