Here’s the news from Globe: Mobile brand Globe Telecom brings the Formula One rush to the Philippines once again as it presents Slipstream 2.0, an event celebrating the journey of Marlon Stockinger as the first and only Filipino to make his way into the competitive world of Formula One racing.

Slipstream 2.0 opens the world of the Prince of Speed Marlon Stöckinger to Filipinos, and how he lives his life in the fast lane. “This sport may not be as common as boxing and basketball in the country, but with Slipstream 2.0, we can bring Marlon’s journey and the F1 experience closer to the Filipinos,” said Dan Horan, senior advisor for consumer business.
“This year, Slipstream evolves into a family entertainment event. People will not only witness Marlon’s driving skills but there are many activities to enjoy. We want this event to be an unforgettable digital lifestyle experience for the families attending by giving them wonderful moments that they can share,” he added.

And for someone like him who is always on the go, where else can he best spend some quality time with his fans, but in the digital space?
