A race‑used gearbox carrier from Alpine’s 2024 A524 is paired with a race‑spec rear wing and offered this week in F1 Authentics’ Austin Auction as a display piece.

The carrier keeps its original FIA seal, confirming race provenance. The wing’s DRS flap operates as on track, further underpinning authenticity.

Both parts mount to a bespoke stand. The rear wing carries Alpine’s pink‑blue BWT scheme with Castrol‑branded endplates, matching 2024 race trim.

Functionally, the gearbox carrier forms part of the A524’s rear structure, combining carbon fibre and metallic elements. Above it, the wing manages airflow to generate downforce and balance.

The timing aligns with renewed interest in Alpine memorabilia. The team’s 2024 campaign, alongside financial resilience, sustains demand for authenticated race components.

Alpine finishes sixth in the constructors’ standings. A rain‑hit Sao Paulo Grand Prix delivers a double podium for Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly. Gasly’s form, including Singapore, frames the campaign.

Those results give provenance items an added halo, connecting them to a car remembered for resilience under variable conditions.

At the time of writing, bidding sits just over $2,300. The Austin Auction opens this week, with registration required on the F1 Authentics platform to bid.

F1 Authentics remains the officially sanctioned marketplace for team‑used components and show cars, providing traceable provenance for ex‑F1 hardware.

The sale comes as Alpine calibrates its wider programme, balancing F1 commitments with endurance ambitions, including its future WEC direction.

The catalogue also features items spanning multiple teams and events, appealing to collectors seeking variety and verified origins.

For collectors, the working DRS and sealed carrier elevate the piece beyond décor, blending engineering function with display impact for homes, offices, or hospitality suites.

The auction will determine ownership, but the combo already shows why authenticated, technically representative items draw attention in a competitive memorabilia market.
