Globe becomes the exclusive business partner of the Lotus F1 team in the country and telecommunication partner of Filipino-Swiss Marlon Stockinger, the first Formula One racer to have placed the Philippines on the F1 radar.
Stockinger’s impressive track performance, particularly his first place finish at the Monaco leg of Grand Prix 3 Series in 2012, earned him a spot in the Lotus F1 Junior Team. He and six other promising drivers joined the Junior Team in February 2013 to undergo rigorous training that will boost their wellness and performance on their journey to competing in Formula One races. Currently, Stockinger is competing in the Renault World Series, a major step towards qualifying for F1 events.
Save the date, to celebrate the partnership, Stockinger will fly to Manila on August 30, 2014 to lead the Globe Speed Day at the Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig. The event will feature Stockinger showing off his track skills driving his Lotus-Gravity Charouz Formula Renault 3.5 race car around BGC.
