Alonso aiming for more success in different disciplines

F1, Le Mans, WEC, Daytona, what can’t Fernando Alonso do? He seems to be a man that can drive anything, just put him behind the wheel and he’ll get you the win.

The 24 hours of Daytona was his latest triumph, driving superbly to lead his team to the win.

We all know his real aim is the Triple Crown, but after the Daytona race, he told RACER: “It’s not part of the Triple Crown, but if I win Indianapolis this will be the Quadruple Crown!”

Alonso is obviously focussing on the Indy 500, but admits that considering other disciplines is not something he’s going to rule out.

He continued: “Right now my full focus is on the Indy 500, but I’m thinking. I’m trying to do something more in different disciplines that are not only circuits…

“But I need to think, I need to plan, I need to make sure that I’m competitive.

“To have the right people, the right teams and the right preparation. Whichever adventure is next, I will not do it if I’m not competitive or I don’t have a shot at winning.

“So I need to be very calm and clever with the decisions with the future. The aim is to do something unprecedented in motorsport.”
