BWT Alpine F1 Team conducts its day-to-day operations across two sites: Enstone, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom for its chassis development, and Viry-Châtillon, Paris, France for its Power Unit. Enstone Enstone has been the home of a Formula 1 team since 1992 when Benetton relocated to the Whiteways Technical Centre having taken over Toleman’s F1 entry. Renault bought out the Italian run team in 2000, on their way to winning the Formula 1 World Championship in 2005 and 2006. Going through various iterations over the years, Renault group CEO Luca de Meo made the decision ahead of the 2021 season to rebrand the team as part of the ‘Renaulution’ framework. Whiteways Technical Centre is located on the site of a former quarry. The low-lying ground meant that the buildings complied with the landscape restrictions in the Oxfordshire area, adjacent to the Cotswolds, which is known as “an area of outstanding, natural beauty”. Enstone is the heart of the team’s chassis operation and as of 2024, 987 people are employed at the Oxfordshire base, a growth of 21% since the Alpine rebrand in 2021. As well as chassis design and manufacturing facilities, Enstone includes gearbox development and integration, electronics, research and development, a wind tunnel, a driver in the loop simulator, race engineering offices, a paint shop and the home base of the race team. Viry-Châtillon On the other side of the Channel, Viry-Châtillon is the base of BWT Alpine F1 Team’s Power Unit design and development. Located just south of the French capital, the Viry site is half in size of Enstone at 25,300m2 and employs 500 people. The Formula 1 Power Unit is designed assembled and tested in Viry. Viry has been a long-standing site, beginning in 1969 as Gordini’s home, before housing Renault’s first Formula 1 entry, the R.S.01 in 1977. In the four decades since, the factory has seen extensive upgrades to combat the growing technology capabilities in motorsport racing. In more recent times, a new 4000m2 building was finalised in 2020 and opened in 2021 to accommodate the growing workforce. Two engine test benches, electric benches 14 and 15, were built in 2023 and a third new bench, bench 8 was started in 2023 and will be completed in 2024 as part of a project to update the current facilities. Enstone and Viry work closely together to ensure the best possible package between chassis and power unit for its Formula 1 charge. Alpine, a brand born from racing Alpine’s history dates back to 1955 when Jean Rédélé, a young man passionate about competition, formed the automotive brand. Fast forward nearly 70 years, and Alpine is now at the forefront of motor racing, competing alongside the elite in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship and the World Endurance Championship as well as many other motorsport disciplines. The original A110 road car was introduced in 1962 and, by the early 1970s, Alpine was a major force in topflight rally competition. In 1971, Alpine took the three steps on the podium of the world-famous Rallye Monte Carlo for the first time and later again in 1973. The company went on to win the World Rally Championship Manufacturers’ title later that year. Alpine achieved one of its most famous motorsport triumphs in 1978; overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Filled with this racing passion and savoir-faire, the brand continued to release new and innovative road cars throughout the 70s and 80s, including the A310 V6 and the GTA. As soon as Alpine's relaunch in 2012 was announced, a competition programme was born to develop the brand's awareness. This commitment was underlined in endurance racing, which has enjoyed numerous successes on international circuits. Fast forward to 2021 and Alpine took its very first steps into the elite realms of Formula 1, after Luca de Meo announced the company’s decision to enter the series as the rebranded Alpine F1 Team. In 2024, the brand is reiterating its commitment to Formula 1, Endurance, Rally, Cup, GT and the SimRacing sphere through Esports. A busy calendar for 2024, punctuated by the FIA Formula 1 World Championship, the World Endurance Championship, the FFSA GT4 European Series, FFSA Championnat de France GT, the Championnat de France FFSA des Rallyes, but also by customer competitions organised by the brand, such as the Alpine Elf Rally Trophy on the road and the Alpine Elf Europa Cup on the track.
