Josep Esperanca

Josep Esperanca is an Andorran racing driver. Esperanca has raced for his entire career with Alpine in Formula International, debuting in 2023 as a long-term replacement for the seriously injured Antoine Robespierre. He was very impressive for the French minnows and finished 12th with 40 points and a best result of 4th. He was then made a permanent driver and the star driver of the French team. From 2024 to 2027 he did not perform very well due to the team's struggles on the racetrack but was consistently better than his teammate Higinio Azkuenaga. In 2028 however, with Alpine becoming faster, Esperanca had a stunning season, finishing in a seemingly out of reach 8th place in the standings with two 4th places as a best result and even finishing above the Venturis and the Tesla Dragon cars in a stunning fashion. However, he has been unable to replicate that season, but still he is still contributing to the team as they have established themselves as the best of a very tight midfield. In 2031, he finally scored his first ever podium in Italy, and finished overall 9th, adding a second podium in his career.
