Wrexham's Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have joined an investment group which will be buying a 24 per cent stake in F1 team Alpine.
Alpine's parent company Renault announced the move on Monday in a deal which is worth £171m ($217m). The deal values Alpine at £700m ($891m).
Reynolds leads Maximum Effort Investments which McElhenney and fellow actor Michael B. Jordan have joined as co-investors. Jordan is also an investor in football, holding a stake in Premier League side AFC Bournemouth.
Reynolds and McElhenney have also been joined in the investment by Otro Capital and RedBird Capital Partners. RedBird is run by former Goldman Sachs banker Gerry Cardinale who is also an investor in Fenway Sports Group, the owner of Premier League side Liverpool and the Boston Red Sox baseball team.
