Bruno Famin began his time in motorsport with Peugeot in 1989, working with Peugeot Talbot Sport on engines and gearboxes. He worked closely on projects such as the 905 Spider and the 106 GRA.

 

In 2005, Bruno was made Technical Director of Peugeot Sport and by 2012, he took over as Director of the company. He played a seminal role in the Le Mans-winning 908 project and the record-breaking Pikes Peak victory in 2013 at the hands of Sébastien Loeb. The Frenchman oversaw three Dakar Rally victories between 2016 and 2018 as well the 2015 World Rallycross title.

 

In 2019, he became director of operations for the sporting branch of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). His main responsibility was managing all sporting projects and functions.
Bruno Famin joined BWT Alpine F1 Team at the start of the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season. As Executive Director of Alpine Racing, he oversaw, among other responsabilities, activities related to the F1 engine in close collaboration with Enstone.

 

In July 2023, Bruno was appointed Director of Alpine Motorsports and then Interim Team Principal. In this role, Bruno leads Alpine's activities across disciplines, including Alpine's program in the World Endurance Championship and the renewed attempt at victory at Le Mans, where he has already enjoyed success.

 

"We are approaching this new FIA World Endurance Championship season with a group of drivers who are experienced, complementary, and fully committed to the Alpine project.
Continuity is assured with Charles Milesi and Ferdinand Habsburg, who have been involved in the development of the A424 since its inception and embody the team's progress. Jules Gounon and Frédéric Makowiecki made an immediate contribution through their experience, high standards, and ability to perform in a highly competitive environment.
The arrival of António Félix da Costa and Victor Martins further strengthens this group with diverse backgrounds, but driven by the same desire to be part of an ambitious project.

Our objective is clear: to continue developing the team and the A424, consolidate the foundations laid, and raise our performance level even further. The mindset, commitment, and complementary skills of this group will be essential assets in meeting the challenges ahead."
