The next chapter
A new circuit for the A424
Alpine Endurance Team heads to the 6 Hours of Barcelona for the penultimate round of the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship. The team’s official preview sets out a new challenge for its A424 Hypercar programme at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
The team retains its two-driver line-ups: Ferdinand Habsburg and Charles Milesi in the #35 car, with Jules Gounon and Victor Martins in the #36. The circuit’s mix of fast corners, slower sections and a long main straight will put the cars’ set-up to work.
For Alpine followers, it is a chance to see how the programme carries its recent pace into a different venue.

The form behind the story
Two weekends to build on
At Austin, Alpine achieved third and fifth places. The following round at Fuji brought second and fourth, the strongest combined result of the A424 programme to that point.
The #36 car finished Fuji just 0.591 seconds behind the winner. Alpine’s race report records both cars running at the front for much of the six-hour event, before the closing stages reshaped the result.
After two podium weekends, Barcelona gives Alpine fans a compelling next chapter. Follow the two cars, the pit-stop decisions and the way the six-hour contest develops.
