However, the championship itself seems to be different: looking at the annual dress rehearsal at Spa Franchorchamps, the reduction in numbers of participants was noticeable. From 50+ cars in the pre-WEC era the grid went down to 40 cars in 2012 and even further down to just 35 cars this year. LMP1: From 13 cars in 2012 this class is now down to 8 cars only - never before have I seen so few cars in the top category of a Le Mans grid. One can only hope it gets better with the return of Porsche to LMP1. Audi shows up with a strong 3 car driver line-up, while Toyota seems to be o n a t ighter budget and sends just 2 cars to La S arthe. Compared to Audi, their whole WEC effort seems to be a little bit half-hearted - there was also only 1 car with the latest spec for the dress rehearsal at Spa. The rest of the LMP1 Story is quickly told: we will see the 2 Rebellion Lolas and a single HPD from Strakka Racing. That’s it! Despite the fact that Toyota managed to squeeze an “adjustment of performance” (3 litres fuel capacity extra for petrol engines) out of the A.C.O, I still see Audi as the clear favourite for the overall win. LMP2: With 22 competitors this is once again by far the largest class, we can expect to see some really close racing in this category. Looking back one can clearly state that this class had the best development, a big change from only a few years ago when it was often a “last man standing” story and simply finishing the race could even get you on the podium. The first 2 WEC rounds demonstrated very good reliability, the engine side of P2 being once again dominated by Nissan-powered cars. It will be interesting

    Press Information Meet the Heroes of Le Mans Mission 2014. Our Return. Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911. After a number of class wins in the early fifties with the 550, the first time on the podium in the overall classification came in 1958 with the 718 RSK clinching third place.

  • Communiqué De Presse Press Release Confidential C
    Communiqué de presse Press release Confidential C ALPINE EXHIBITION AT THE INTERNATIONAL AUTOMOBILE FESTIVAL OF THE INVALIDES: BETWEEN RESTROSPECTIVE AND PROSPECTIVE In 2015 Alpine chose the International Automobile Festival (FAI) to present the Alpine Vision Gran Turismo. In January 2018 the Alpine A110 receives the award for the most beautiful car of the year 2017. In 2020, Alpine chooses the FAI for an exhibition featuring historical, present and fantasized models, whose storyline is a back and forth between two eras and the richness of Alpine’s history as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. For its 3rd participation in the International Automobile Festival of the Invalides(Paris), Alpine has imagined an exhibition of new or little-known models to the general public: the A210 prototype, the Alpine Vision Gran Turismo, the A110 1800 – 1972 Gp4 driven by François Alessandri and Jean Pierre Manzagol, the A110 SportsX, an A110 "berlinette" 1300 of 1971 and the A110S. The A210 prototype In 1966, Alpine launched a new prototype designed exclusively for competition, the A210. It was used between 1966 and 1969 for Alpine's participation in the 24h Le Mans race. It will be victorious in 1966 thanks to the Grandsire/Cella crew and in 1968 with the Andruet/Nicolas crew. The Alpine A210 presented was manufactured in 1967. It has a Renault Gordini type 58 CI engine and is equipped with a Porsche gearbox. Its top speed is 270km/h, established on the Hunaudières straight in 1969. This A210 took part in the 24h Le Mans on June 14th 1969 with the Killy/Wollek crew.

A RENAULT ‘FAMILY’ Jean Rédélé was the first-born son of Madeleine Prieur and Emile Rédélé, a Renault dealer based in Dieppe and a former mechanic of Ferenc Szisz – the first Renault Frères ‘factory driver’, winner of the Grand Prix de la Sarthe in 1906 at Le Mans and runner-up in the Grand Prix de l'A.C.F. in Dieppe in 1907. Louis Renault himself had hired Emile Rédélé right at the beginning of the 20th Century. At the end of the First World War, at the request of Louis Renault, the young Emile Rédélé settled in Dieppe and opened a Renault dealership there in rue Thiers. Two years later, Jean-Emile- Amédée Rédélé was born on May 17, 1922. After completing his studies in Normandy, Jean Rédélé took his Baccalauréat exam during the Second World War and came into contact with people as diverse as Antoine Blondin, Gérard Philipe and Edmond de Rothschild. He chose to be a sub-prefect before settling on a career direction and enrolling at the H.E.C.
