Alpine has become the latest team to unveil a change of livery for the United States Grand Prix in Austin, doing so to market the release of the upcoming video game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle .

Alpine had been rotating between a blue and pink variation of their base livery this season, also for marketing reasons through their title sponsors, BWT, but another of their partners are involved in Austin as the A524 takes on a new colour scheme.

Sunset orange has been added to the car on a one-off basis for this weekend, along with other design details such as an ancient map and red travel routes, as showcased in the film series, with the title of the game also placed on the car.
