Alpine has hit the track for a shakedown of its A524 ahead of pre-season testing in Bahrain.

The car hit the track for its first outing this week at the Bahrain International Circuit, before the official three-day test begins for the season.

It is the first time the car has ran on track, after the team launched it at the beginning of February at their Enstone factory alongside their World Endurance Championship programme.
