ALPINE A480 AND TYRE MAGIC
Hands up if you see tyres as merely round, black, unimportant consumables. Well, you’re entitled to that opinion, of course, but it really is wide of the mark! When it comes to motorsport, tyre design and management play a fundamental role, and no more so than in the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) where varying track conditions in the course of the same event are not uncommon. Alpine Elf Matmut Endurance Team Performance Engineer Paul François talks us through the different ways tyres work their magic in endurance #racing.
Alpine has long grasped the importance of tyres and the benefits that can be reaped by being attentive to what are, in reality, the only point of contact between the car and the race track. From 1964, the French firm even contributed actively to the development of radial tyres, a technology that revolutionised the automobile industry.
