Alpine lays out huge plans for the 2026 Festival of Speed

The marque’s two current Formula 1 drivers will be at the centre of things. Pierre Gasly will kick off the programme at Goodwood on Thursday 9^th July alongside Alpine’s F1 Academy racer Nina Gademan.

Current Formula 2 Championship contender Alex Dunne will represent the brand on Friday before Alpine F1 reserve driver Paul Aron takes over responsibilities on Saturday. Gasly’s F1 team-mate Franco Colapinto will close out the weekend on Sunday.

All five drivers will be put to work on the Hill at the wheel of the 2.4-litre V8-engined E20 F1 car, a car that Kimi Raikkonen drove to victory for the then Lotus F1 Team at the 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Thursday will also set the stage for the huge global reveal of the next-generation, all-electric Alpine A110. Set to be unveiled in the form of a test mule, this car is built upon a brand-new platform which the company says will make it the first ‘true’ electric sportscar.

It’ll be showcased first in a special ‘Brand Parade’ among a selection of Alpine cars that will celebrate the past, present and future of this iconic brand.

Joining the new A110 mule on the Hill and on the Alpine stand will be the marque’s two other current electric offerings, the A290 hot hatch and the A390 crossover. All three cars will be running across all four days in the First Glance batch.

Tickets for the Festival of Speed are limited. Only Thursday admission remains but hospitality packages for all four days are available. Missed out on a ticket for Friday or Saturday? Find out how you can access our sold-out days with one of our new packages.
