Alpine is serious about getting into racing. This is good. The A110 road car is terrific, so proving there"s more to the brand than a single road car (relax: more will follow) and that the lightweight concept can be turned to racing advantage is good news. There are two tiers to racing Alpines: a Cup car for a one-make series that"s more closely related to the road car (266bhp, still has air con) and then this, the full house GT4 racer. GT4 racing is very competitive, with cars ranging from the Porsche Cayman and BMW M4 to McLaren 570 and Audi R8. With KTM X-Bows, Ginettas and Chevy Camaros on the grid as well, it"s very diverse. They"re all kept in check by the balance of performance, which means none can exceed a power to weight ratio of 312bhp/ton.
