Scottish-Salvadoran driver Sebastian Melrose has made his debut in the Porsche Carrera Cup racing championship.

Bitcoin Racing Team Joins Porsche Carrera Cup With Netflix Celebrity in the Car<\/h2>\n

British racing team Bitcoin Racing has joined the Porsche Carrera Cup together with Richardson Racing, not only to win prizes in one of the U.K.\u2019s biggest racing championships but also to promote crypto. The tandem hired a newcomer to the series, Scottish-Salvadoran driver Sebastian Melrose, who debuted last weekend at the Donington Park circuit.<\/p>\n

Melrose, who owes a great deal of his fame to his participation in the \u201cToo Hot to Handle\u201d dating game show on Netflix, sat behind the wheel of a \u201cBitcoin Porsche,\u201d a 500-horsepower 911 GT3 that is sporting the bitcoin logo on its door panels, and on its roof, the flag of El Salvador, the Latin American nation spearheading<\/a> crypto adoption as legal tender in the world.<\/p>\n

The racing team has embarked on acquainting a wider audience with cryptocurrency through automotive sport and has been endorsed by El Salvador for that initiative. It expressed its intentions on social media earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cBitcoin Racing is proud to announce that we\u2019ll be driving bitcoin adoption in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB, and we\u2019re doing it with the help of our Salvadoran driver and Netflix star, Seb Melrose \u2026 As a team, we believe in the power of bitcoin, and we\u2019re using the Porsche championship to promote its adoption,\u201d the team said in a series of tweets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The championship consists of eight race weekends across the United Kingdom and is aired live on ITV. \u201cWith a TV audience of 2.2 million and over 400,000 live spectators per season, we\u2019re taking the message of bitcoin to millions outside of the sector,\u201d Bitcoin Racing stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis mission, to accelerate bitcoin adoption, will be amplified by our pilot Sebastian, who has almost 1 million followers,\u201d the team elaborated, adding that it\u2019s also proud to be promoting El Salvador with the hope of improving the perception of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m super excited and really motivated to be entering the Porsche Carrera Cup GB this season with Bitcoin Racing powered by Richardson Racing,\u201d Melrose was quoted as saying. Richardson Racing will take care of the technical and mechanical maintenance of his car, which is last season\u2019s winner.<\/p>\n
