Alpine have announced an early release date for their 2024 F1 challenger, and have revealed that fans will get their first chance to see their World Endurance Championship car on the same day.

The team revealed on social media that the double launch will come on 7th February, one of the earlier launches of any team for the coming campaign.

Alpine have already teased the firing up of their new engine in the last week, and their early announcement date means that they'll have a full two weeks between showing off their 2024 edition to the world and the start of pre-season testing.
