The Racers Group (TRG) is proud to announce another exciting year of partnership with LaSalle Solutions—a leading provider of IT lifecycle information management services and the industry-leading cloud-based LAMP platform— for the 2019 Season.

This primary partnership comes in time for both companies to capitalize on the season-opening, Endurance Challenge 4 Hours Race at Daytona on January 25th, 2019, and the massive support and attention it garners as well as TRG’s amazing history at this event. LaSalle first partnered with The Racers Group after seeing the value of the sports car world, and the multiple opportunities that exist within its elite paddocks, and the relationship has strengthened each year through the synergies and new opportunities developed together.

TRG’s partnership with LaSalle is designed to focus on strong co-branding, business-to-business networking, and high-end corporate events including; show car appearances, media promotions, driving events, and more. As part of the partnership, The Racers Group will run LaSalle branding on all of the team’s equipment while competing in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Series, Pirelli World Challenge, Sprint, and Sprint X Series, as well as staging numerous hospitality and entertainment events throughout the year.

Steven Robb, President of the Solutions Group, LaSalle Solutions: 
“After closing out 2018 with a Podium finish with TRG, and four major awards from Cisco, the LaSalle team has become spoiled with winning. It just made sense for us to keep the momentum going into 2019, building on our successful track record with TRG and Porsche with the goal of standing atop the podium once again.”

Kevin Buckler, CEO, TRG-AMR North America: When we first partnered with LaSalle Solutions in 2014, it was because I believed there was a very strong synergy with our two companies, not just in our operating style, but also in our core values. When I learned about the four major awards they just received from Cisco, including a Global Award as their Customer Experience Partner of the Year and three major regional awards, it just reinforced all the many reasons we entered into this relationship to begin with and why this has been such so successful for both companies. They’re amazing at what they do and like us, are top performers in their field. We are continuing to support LaSalle through numerous business opportunities, as well as great client and VIP hospitality and entertainment programs throughout the year.

Partnerships like this really expound on just how powerful the Sportscar paddock has become. While other series are struggling, Sportscar Racing in North America is flourishing with new programs like this. Steve is really a leader in this area and understands all of the complex and very profitable nuances and opportunities that exist within our sport. He does such an amazing job of taking care of his best customers as well as prospecting for new ones. That’s what we do together as partners in the sport. We help to grow each other’s business, and in a way that clients have never seen…and they love it. LaSalle is the best at what they do, and it shows in their commitment to their strategic partners and customers alike. We feel the same way about our relationships and our ability to perform at the highest level, and we are looking forward to continuing to deliver on our promise of unparalleled execution on and off the track.
