Tique should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Thinking a bit more about the subject, I believe that for a cost point of view, it will be a good deal for Alpine. The LMP2 will be slowed down next year as IMSA did but the operating cost should be the same. The grandfathered R13 will be also slowed down (downgrade of the Gibson engine to the current LMP2 spec, a bit mre weight, ...). So for a cost point of view, I don't see a big difference betwenn the current Oreca 7 and the R13 that will be used next year. Just a shame that they are just planing to have just one car. It would have been nice to have Alonso back next year on an Alpine at Le mans with Ocon
