NEW YORK - Emil Assentato, chairman of FXDD and co-driver of AIM Autosport Team FXDD, was honored along with his fellow co-driver Jeffery Segal at the Finali Mondiali Ferrari Gala in Valencia, Spain on December 2nd. The honor comes after AIM Autosport Team FXDD won the 2012 GRAND-AM Rolex GT Sports Car Series earlier this year, with the first-ever Ferrari GT to race in a GRAND-AM Series. The event honored a total of 45 Ferrari drivers from around the world for their success in 2012.
"I am honored to be recognized along with so many other accomplished Ferrari drivers," said Emil Assentato, chairman of FXDD and co-driver of AIM Autosport Team FXDD. "Winning the GRAND-AM Rolex GT in the Ferrari this September was a wonderful achievement for the whole team and this event was a great way to conclude an excellent season."
The Rolex GT Series win was the first championship victory for the newly established AIM Autosport Team FXDD, who partnered earlier this year for a season-long campaign racing the first-ever, Ferrari, a 458 Italia GT, in a GRAND-AM series.
"We continue to be excited about our great partnership with FXDD and to be racing with Ferrari," said Andrew Bordin, sporting director at AIM Autosport. "Our results as a team are defined by our hard work and passion for the sport, this honor reflects that dedication."
The Ferrari partnership continues FXDD's tradition of excellence in partnering with the most distinguished names, including Formula 1™ Red Bull Racing and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cycling Club.
"This award is yet another example of the fantastic results of the AIM Autosport Team FXDD and Ferrari partnership," said John Corbett, director of marketing at FXDD. "Working as a team with the best technology is something FXDD is committed to on the race track and through our online trading platforms," Corbett added. "Part of this commitment to success includes engaging in partnerships with high-quality brands such as Ferrari."
AIM Autosport Team FXDD plans to continue racing with Ferrari in the 2013 GRAND-AM series.
"Our focus now is gearing up for another winning championship series in 2013," said Assentato.
