The Alpine A524 is a Formula One racing car designed and developed by the Alpine F1 Team. It competed in the 2024 Formula One World Championship. It was the fourth Formula One car entered by Alpine since rebranding from Renault. The A524 was driven by Pierre Gasly, Esteban Ocon and Jack Doohan, the latter of whom replaced Ocon at the season finale Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after Ocon ended his final season with the team early.
Reserve driver duties were previously handled by Doohan, as he had driven in first practice for the Canadian and British Grands Prix in the year. Initially considered to be the worst-running car of the field at the beginning of the year, the team's results steadily improved throughout the season to return to the midfield. The car managed to score Alpine's first fastest lap at the United States Grand Prix, and the team's first double podium at the São Paulo Grand Prix, which was also the team's first podium of the season. The A524 would be the last Alpine Formula One car to utilize BP fuels and Castrol lubricants before switching to Eni fuels and Valvoline lubricants from the 2025 season onwards due to BP plc switching its allegiances to the new Audi Sport F1 Team from the 2026 season onwards.

The Alpine A524 is one of 32 Alpine models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
The record does not fix a firm introduction year for the Alpine A524, which is itself informative: cars without a clean launch date are usually prototypes, coachbuilt specials, or models whose history was written down long after the fact. The catalogue keeps them anyway, because the odd corners of the record are where the interesting machines hide.
On paper, the Alpine A524 reads like this: the record lists its engine as V6; quoted output is Capacity = 1.6 L; kerb weight is recorded at Fuel = BP. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Alpine's own catalogue the Alpine A524 sits alongside the Alpine A110, the Alpine A110 (2017), the Alpine A210, the Alpine A290. The record names the Alpine A523 as its predecessor and the Alpine A525 as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Matthew Harman / Simon Virrill / Benjamin Norton / Steven Booth / Peter Marshall / Pierre Genon / Richard Frith / Dirk de Beer / James Rodgers / Eric Meignan.
The Alpine A524 also has a competition record: 0 recorded wins from 24 starts and Drivers_champ = championships. A race history changes how a car should be valued — competition machines appreciate on provenance, not depreciation curves.
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
Most car databases stop at series production. This one deliberately does not, because concept cars, racing specials and cancelled prototypes are where the industry thinks out loud — the ideas tested in public years before they reach a showroom. Holding them beside the production cars they inspired makes the lineage legible: nearly every landmark road car in this library has a concept ancestor somewhere in the catalogue, and the connections run through the era links on every page.
What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Alpine A524 costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
