Alex Zanardi New York

After the “Roar before the Rolex”, the official test ahead of the 24-hour race at Daytona, BMW works driver Alessandro Zanardi headed straight to New York, where the Italian received a great and rare honour. On Tuesday afternoon he rang the technology stock exchange NASDAQ closing bell. Zanardi also completed an impressive media programme with many famous American publications, TV stations and news agencies.

Alessandro Zanardi after his New York trip:

“These two days have been very intense, but also very rewarding. I had many opportunities to talk to a lot of people about my passion and one of the most prestigious projects I have ever embarked on with BMW Motorsport. Ringing the Closing Bell at NASDAQ was the icing on the cake. Man, so much great stuff is happening in my life! Every day is an adventure and I am glad that the journey with my BMW friends continues with the Daytona 24 Hours.“
