One of motorsport’s ‘old school’ legends – Fernando Alonso is now sim racing – the Spaniard, who up until now has kept a low profile in virtual racing, has burst onto the pixel-scene with his typical enthusiasm.
The double Formula 1 World Champion made his debut in the Factor 2 based Legends Trophy hosted by The Race who declared on their website: “Alonso is following in the footsteps of fellow F1 world champions Jenson Button, Emerson Fittipaldi, Jacques Villeneuve and Sebastian Vettel in competing in the Legends Trophy, which is part The Race All-Stars Series powered by ROKiT Phones.”
