Race Car Driver Alessandro Fatichi stated: "I've known Francesco since the early 80s and in addition to an established friendship, we are very happy to collaborate with him and the entire team of Film Annex for several years. Our satisfaction is doubled, being the first team with the Bitcoin mark, with the hope to expand it to other teams in the world of motorsport."
