Saw it in the flesh for the first time at Goodwood FoS yesterday - looking really lovely, especially those bucket seats! Not convinced by the plastic key card though... needs something a bit classier to hold than that.

The guy from Alpine was great - chatting away about production aspirations vs the Cayman (not high in the U.K. due to limited vols available and brand perception) but that it had been received really well in France "like them getting a new Aston". 1st customer car estimated for Dec and deliveries in the U.K. from March '18 apparently.

Amazing coincidence I just clicked on the link as the car started at 12:54!

Unfortunately no times as only a demo run.

Looking at some of the other classes, there is a mixture of DEMO and TIMED runs.
Maybe tomorrow we will see some times hopefully.

Just spotted this in Auto Express. Seems the journalist is very impressed.

funny how they are inviting all the jouno's but only as far as the passenger seat...
never thought I would want a list but now find myself needing one just to remind me: Clio V6 230, 5 gt turbo, 5 Gordini turbo, Megane RS 300 Trophy.

They've already stated that journalists will get test drives in September/October. So not too far off at this point.
