Alpine was out in full force on Saturday before the start of the 89th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours.

The French manufacturer paraded several of its road cars around the legendary 13.626 km track, but the show was preceded by a historic first when Fernando Alonso blasted down the Hunaudieres onboard an Alpine-liveried 2018-spec Renault.

The Spaniard's demo lap marked the first time in the history of the Le Mans circuit that an F1 car had taken to the iconic track.
