Viktor Marten will continue his career in the WEC.

      Victor Marten will continue his career in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). The French driver has signed a contract with Alpine’s factory team for 2026.

      Victor Marten was part of Alpine’s junior program for several years and became the Formula 3 champion in 2022. After winning the title, Marten moved up to Formula 2, where he competed with Alpine’s support for two seasons.

      In 2025, Victor joined Williams’ junior program and made his Formula 1 debut during an official race weekend in the first practice session of the Spanish Grand Prix. However, after just one season with Williams he returned to Alpine.

      The team has not yet announced which of the two A424 LMDh prototypes Marten will drive, but there are two vacancies in the squad following the departures of Mick Schumacher and Paul-Loup Chatin.

      Victor Marten: “I am joining the Alpine team in the FIA WEC. This is an important step in my career, one I have taken very seriously. Alpine is a brand with a rich racing heritage and clear ambitions at the highest level of endurance racing.

      Together with the team I will make my debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and that gives me enormous motivation. I look forward to beginning productive work with everyone to achieve speed and consistency and to contribute to the long-term success of the program.”
