The Alpine A110 RGT occupies a distinctive corner of contemporary rally motorsport — a mid-engined GT car competing under FIA Rally GT regulations within WRC rounds. At the January 2025 Rallye Monte-Carlo, car number 68, entered by Team Chazel Technologies Course, carried Armand Fumal and Jules Escartefigue to second place in the RGT class. Spark Model has preserved that result in resin at 1:43.
A Road Car Architecture Built for the Mountains
The Alpine A110 RGT is derived from the second-generation A110 introduced in 2017 and is homologated under the FIA's Rally GT category regulations. It retains the road car's mid-mounted 1.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, tuned to RGT specification and backed by mandatory safety equipment: a full roll cage, racing harness, and fire suppression system. The RGT category runs concurrently with the main WRC field, providing a separate classification for production-derived GT competition cars.
Monte-Carlo 2025: Chazel Technologies Course and a Podium Result
The 2025 Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo, held in late January, opened the FIA World Rally Championship season. Under the Team Chazel Technologies Course banner — a French motorsport preparation and technology company with established Alpine customer racing ties — Fumal and Escartefigue registered car number 68 in the RGT class. Their second-place class finish at one of the most demanding and high-profile rounds on the WRC calendar gives this particular entry clear historical weight within the RGT category's short but growing competitive record.
Spark Model and the Case for Resin at 1:43
Spark Model is a French brand that has established itself as the reference point for current-season and lower-profile motorsport subjects rendered in 1:43 resin. Where diecast catalogues focus on outright WRC winners and factory entries, Spark consistently documents RGT class competitors, privateer entries, and single-season subjects that other manufacturers leave unrecorded. This resin replica replicates the Chazel Technologies Course livery, car number 68, and the specific 2025 Monte-Carlo event — details that place it precisely within the rally's official classification.
Placing It in a Rally or Alpine Collection
This model fits naturally alongside Spark's own series of Alpine A110 RGT Monte-Carlo entries, which date back to the car's competition debut from 2019 onwards. Collectors assembling a chronological Alpine rally sequence will find this 2025 piece completes the most recent season. It also pairs with broader WRC round-one subjects and French motorsport replicas — from privateer entries to current Alpine factory programme models — without duplicating any existing car number or livery in the RGT class catalogue.
