Reasonably better times from Abarths on Sanremo. Clearly faster than FWD cars. Good progress.

The question is why shall Renault invest in something like R-GT? What will it get back for its investment? I am afraid that the answer is nothing.
Yes, not bad. Andolfi was 7th overall and Gache 9th. Andolfi quickest in 2WD. Not bad.
Final results of Rally Sanremo:

Guys, everything in automotive is about making money. If they can use some old brand as a tool to refresh excitement about their products they do it. But simply bringing something called Alpine make more for their image than some R-GT which nearly nobody cares about. Maybe if they make some deal with FIAT and possibly other manufacturers to create some well promoted competition than why not but otherwise it's just a waste of resources.
For me sounds more logical one Clio WRC or R5 than one Alpine GT.
You’re probably missing a crucial aspect: Monte Carlo Rally is still one of the most valuable branded motorsport events in the world. To win in no matter class on MC Rally can become an image boost for any manu, especially when there’s s strong heritage attached. In a bigger scale, the same happens in Le Mans; that’s why a secondary class win is so meaningful to Ford.
Maybe I’m being too optimistic, but I really believe that Alpine in RGT, probably in a venture with Dumas, is only a matter of time.
