Fernando Alonso will enjoy a rather leisurely 2019 season of racing thanks to his retirement from F1, but the Spaniard still gets an early start to his year.
In addition to his duties with Toyota in the WEC and to his participation in the Indy 500 next May with McLaren, Alonso will run in this month's Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona with Wayne Taylor Racing, driving the team's No. 10 Cadillac DPi-V.R alongside Jordan Taylor, Renger van der Zande and his Toyota team mate Kamui Kobayashi.
Preceding the big event however is this weekend's "Roar before the Rolex 24", a three-day test and dress rehearsal for the race's 47-car entry list, and Fernando and his crew are ready to roar!
"This year, I’m in a very competitive environment with a very competitive team that’s had a lot of success here at Daytona," Alonso told Racer.
"I’m hoping to be more competitive, and enjoy the race more this year."
