FXDD Partners With Mazda's Factory-Supported Rolex GT Racing Team
NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2007 -- FXDD, a global leader in online foreign currency exchange, today announced its partnership with Mazda's factory- supported Rolex GT racing team to co-brand the GT No. 69 car that will compete throughout the 2007 Grand American Road Racing ROLEX GT series.
"It's a privilege to partake in such a high-profile branding campaign with a prestigious racing team like Mazda's," commented Joseph Botkier, CEO of FXDD. "Although online trading is a much different world from that of racing, there are similarities in what drives success. In the forex business, our success is attributed to providing our online e-customers with quality service, superior execution, and technology that delivers speed and accuracy," Botkier continued. "In racing, Mazda's technical expertise coupled with the Mazda Grand Am GT's light weight form and powerful engine delivers an extremely competitive package. Together, we are very optimistic about our chances in 2007 -- especially for the Rolex 24 at Daytona."
The 2007 season begins when the green flag waves at noon on January 27th to start the world-renowned enduro 'The Rolex 24.' The Rolex, which sees prominent drivers from every motor sport discipline compete head-to-head for 24 hours straight, ends when the checkered flag is waved at noon 24 hours later on January 28th.
