First Shakedown Imminent For Alpine A424 LMDh

After successfully firing the engine of the new Alpine LMDh prototype for the first time, a shakedown of the new racer is indeed imminent.  The question remains, will it conform to the homologation rules set forth by IMSA since Alpine does not market their cars (being a Renault offshoot) stateside.
