Here’s a look at the Alpine A424 Hypercar #35 run by Alpine Endurance Team at the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans, featuring Paul‑Loup Chatin, Ferdinand Habsburg, and Charles Milesi.
Paul‑Loup Chatin, Habsburg, and Milesi led the #35 Alpine to a respectable 9th-place finish, Alpine’s best in the Hypercar class, appearing as the top-10 newcomer among manufacturers. Despite early-season reliability concerns around the Mecachrome V6 engine, the trio delivered a consistent, clean run—showcasing pace and strategy even without podium potential. What set this race apart was Alpine’s determined bounce back—from both of its cars retiring in 2024, to finishing 9th and 10th in 2025, marking real progress. Their ability to complete the full 24 hours while refining their hybrid platform placed them ahead of other newcomers, underlining a resilient spirit that overcame early technical setbacks.
