Padel and cars, that is, rather than padel and beer…\n\nAlpine A290 leads Padel RallyWe planned an event that would be both a driving tour and a padel holiday, combining great roads, luxury destinations and competitive matches on unique courts. We aren’t the first to combine cars with the world’s fastest-growing sport, though – several car brands now support padel tournaments and players. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key market moves, top business and political stories, and incisive analysis straight to your inbox.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJust weeks before our event, in fact, the Alpine-sponsored Paris Major – padel’s answer to Roland Garros – was won by world number one Arturo Coello, a member of Alpine’s A-Padel team. So it felt fitting to have an Alpine A290, the French marque’s new electric hot hatch, as the lead car for our rally.The £36,000 A290 GTS had a full day of challenges ahead. Would we be searching for a hotel in Stow-on-the-Wold after running low on charge? Could we keep pace with our supercar-driving guests? And was its ride supple enough to film content for our Instagram reels?Keeping good companyOur route was built to test both the car and the concept – taking 10 guests from the London suburbs to lunch at the Cotswolds’ automotive epicentre: The Classic Motor Hub. We’d then enjoy an afternoon padel session and a green Michelin-starred dinner at Daylesford Farm – seemingly the preferred hangout of every rural influencer. \n\nWith Joe Macari’s coffee and croissant reserves suitably depleted, we led a convoy of six cars into the morning traffic. Excited, but also quietly apprehensive about everything that could go wrong, the Alpine did its best to calm us with its refined and comfortable cabin. Excellent visibility meant we could check our guests remained in tow, while the unmistakable Bleu Alpine paint made us easy to spot in the grid of monochrome Ubers. Aside from some quirky button placement and the puzzling lack of cupholders, it’s a near-faultless city car.We finally squeezed through the Hammersmith bottleneck and two guests blasted past in an Audi R8 and Porsche 718 Cayman GT4. The 52kWh battery and 220hp motor reeled them back in with relative ease, though, with the ever-tempting ‘OV’ overtake button injecting real urgency when required.Convoy to the CotswoldsUse of this bright red fun button had to be rationed, though. Our 30-mile range buffer was shrinking faster than the number of miles ahead, although I fully intended to use whatever charge remained once we reached the Cotswold lanes.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
