L'Alpine Europa Cup 2020 begins with Laurent and Negrao in Nogaro
The third year of existence of theAlpine Europa Cup will see 17 Alpine A110 Cup battle it out as part of the Easter Cups in Nogaro (Gers, August 21-23). Title holder Gaël Castelli leaves the way open to his predecessor Pierre Sancinéna (Racing Technology).
He will have to be wary of Marc Guillot and Mateo Herrero (Herrero Racing by Milan Compétition), who are coming off a more than promising campaign (2nd and 3rd in 2019). For the opening of the 2020 season, two top drivers will play the top guests, namely the teammates Alpine in the World Endurance Championship (WEC), Thomas Laurent and André negrao.
Two women will make up the board. The Polish Gosia Rdest (Racing Technology) returns to sedans after an excursion in W Series (14th) while the young French Lilou Wadoux (Autosport GP, 18 years old) returns to France after half a season in TCR Europe upset by a accident.
Alexandra Jentet, Manager Alpine Elf Europa Cup: “We are all looking forward to launching the third season of theAlpine Elf Europa Cup after such a long wait. We would like to thank all of our competitors and partners for their trust during this period of uncertainty which we hope is over.
It is a real pride to welcome a competitive and balanced field with more teams and nationalities in such a context. With eighteen drivers present at Nogaro, including five Juniors, six Gentlemen and two Women, the debates promise to be extremely lively in a Mecca of French motorsport dear to Alpine. May the best win ! »
Régis Fricotté, Sales and Competition Director ofAlpine : “Despite the particular context of this season, it confirms the unique appeal ofAlpine A110 Cup among motorsport stakeholders. This is due both to the qualities of the model and to the remarkable work provided by the team dedicated to theAlpine Elf Europa Cup which was able to quickly put in place an alternative, attractive and balanced calendar by preserving ten races across four meetings well spaced in time.
We all can't wait to see these seventeen Alpine A110 Cup and their drivers battle for victory and prestigious prizes at this level while carefully following the performances of its big sister, theAlpine A110 GT4, in the French FFSA GT Championship! »
