Dumarey Group and Renault Group have signed an agreement under which Dumarey is expected to acquire Alpine Racing SAS, the legal entity operating Alpine’s motorsport activities at Viry-Châtillon in France.
The proposed transaction covers the entity’s teams and the tangible and intangible assets required to operate the site. Renault says all Alpine Racing SAS employees would transfer to Dumarey if the deal completes. The parties did not disclose a purchase price, valuation, financing structure or targeted completion date.
The announcement is a proposed acquisition rather than a completed change of control. It was presented to employee representatives at an extraordinary Works Council meeting on 22 October 2026. Completion remains subject to the legally required employee consultation process and applicable regulatory approvals.
Dumarey describes the deal as a route into a larger motorsport engineering business. The Belgian-headquartered group already works in powertrain technology, energy storage and automotive engineering, and says Viry would add high-performance powertrain development, electrification, simulation, software and advanced testing capability.
Renault says the project is intended to preserve employment and maintain the Viry site’s engineering activity. It also says the operation could use more than four decades of Formula 1 engine experience to support racing teams in future. Those are stated intentions; the release does not name customers, contracts, investment commitments, new headcount or future competition programmes.
Following completion, Alpine Racing SAS is expected to operate under Dumarey Group ownership, management and branding. Renault’s release expressly distinguishes the Viry legal entity from Alpine Racing Limited at Enstone, which contains the Formula 1 activities of BWT Alpine Formula One Team. The transaction should therefore not be read as a sale of the Enstone F1 team.
