Bruno Famin leaves Alpine to become ACO deputy director of competition

Alpine’s vice president of motorsport, Bruno Famin, stepped down from his position last week just ahead of what will turn out to be Alpine’s last season in the FIA World Endurance Championship for the foreseeable future. It would be an understandable move anyway, but it turns out to have been because he has landed a big job with the ACO itself. As deputy director in charge of competition, it will be Famin’s job to implement the ACO’s technical and competitive roadmap. Leaving a team and company who could not hang under the current rule set, I am sure Famin is full of new ideas.
