Citi Private Bank is proud to announce its sponsorship of motor
racing legend Fernando Alonso for his debut appearance in the Rolex
24 at Daytona beginning January 27, 2018.
The Rolex 24 At Daytona – also known as the 24 Hours of Daytona
– is North America’s premier endurance race, in which some of the
world’s top motorsport drivers compete in a grueling event from
sunrise to sunset and then to sunrise again. Held at the Daytona
International Speedway in Florida, the day-long race will be first
time in his career that Fernando shares a car with teammates.
Fernando – who has twice won Formula One’s World Championship
and who has been hailed as ‘the greatest driver of the 21st
century’ – made an electrifying debut at the Indianapolis 500 race
in May 2017, where he was also sponsored by Citi Private Bank. He
led the race for 27 laps and achieved the fastest average lap-time
of any driver.
Fernando is also set to compete in The 24 Hours of Le Mans in
June 2018. Alongside the Indianapolis 500 and the Monaco Grand
Prix, Le Mans makes up one third of ‘the Triple Crown of Motor
Racing’. Having already won Monaco twice, Fernando hopes to become
only the second driver ever to complete the Triple Crown.
“We are honored and thrilled to continue our association with
Fernando Alonso,” said Peter Clive Charrington, Global Head of Citi
Private Bank. “Fernando is truly an ambassador for motor racing,
renowned for his perseverance, his teamwork, and his humility
despite his incredible successes. Citi Private Bank shares his
values of excellence, professionalism, and total dedication. We
wish him many further triumphs in his quest to reach the pinnacle
of motorsport.”
Fernando Alonso commented: “I am delighted to be teaming up once
again with Citi Private Bank for Daytona. The Private Bank is a
terrific partner both on and off the race track, owing to their
commitment to global citizenship and their constant drive for
excellence.”
