WEC manufacturer level, battle, Alpine ahead of Peugeot, BMW’s top racer – Le Mag Sport Auto

If PEUGEOT 9×8 have done better than Alpine – logically – since the start of the 2024 season, in the WEC, it is the diamond brand that is ahead. We are talking about the level of producers. Being in accounting level, Sochalian’s brand, sixth with 4 small points, is 11 units behind his opponent and partner, 5th in the leadership.

Peugeot and Alpine are gradually losing the top 3 position in the WEC manufacturer standings, which are Porsche, Toyota and Ferrari. Three products that should share a good part of the podium and victory this year. But at the back, the competition is clear, with the advantage of fourth place, held by BMW since the 6H of Imola. Thanks to the excellent sixth place achieved on the Italian track.

A busy start to the Hypercar pack. 😮💨

However, Alpine is only two points behind the German team while Peugeot has a handicap of 13 points. Nothing is invincible, in short. Little satisfaction for these three competitors, the fact of being ahead of luxury manufacturers like Cadillac and Lamborghini. However, with the latter two having only one car, their chances to shine have been cut in half.

Finally, let’s remember that, in the battle of respect for PCs, BMW is doing better at the moment, facing Alpine and therefore, once again, Lamborghini. Now for the full title.
