Alpine confirm 2026 launch event date

Alpine has officially announced its 2026 season launch event, set to take place on January 23 in Barcelona. This highly anticipated reveal will precede the first pre-season test, scheduled from January 26-30 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. While the Enstone-based squad has kept the specifics of the launch under wraps, they teased fans with the caption, "We've got something to show you..." Coming off a challenging 2025 campaign where they finished at the bottom of the Constructors' Championship, Alpine is undoubtedly aiming for a stronger performance in 2026, maintaining its driver line-up of Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto. The announcement follows similar reveals from other teams, including Aston Martin and a joint Red Bull/Racing Bulls event.
