Local Eurocup Formula Renault driver, and Niverville local, David Richert recently announced a partnership with Casamigos Tequila for events including a race at the famous Monaco Grand Prix.
Casamigos was formed by friends George Clooney; Rande Gerber, founder of Gerber Spirits; and Mike Meldman, CEO and founder of the Discover Land Company with the goal of providing the world’s best tasting and smoothest tequila that doesn’t need to be disguised with lime or salt.
The name Casamigos is “named after our homes in Cabo called Casamigos, which loosely translated means ‘house of friends,’” Gerber said.
Casamigos is the title partner of Richert’s car, which reflects the Casamigos Brand.
Richert is enthusiastic to race in Monaco. “Partnering with Casamigos is also very special as it’s a great brand to be associated with and I think the design of the Casamigos car looks absolutely stunning!” Richert says.
Casamigos now joins Richert’s other corporate partners, including Diabolica Wines, Silver Jeans Co., Loewen, Karma Property Management, and R.R. Dobel Insurance in preparation to the Monaco Grand Prix.
The Monaco Grand Prix began on May 26 and continue dthrough the weekend, with the final race being an opening to the Formula Grand Prix on Sunday, May 29.
Due to a torrential downpour, the event turned into a sort of demolition derby, with Richert emerging unscathed. Due to a quirk of the rules, despite finishing in 17th place, the final posted result placed him 20th.
Richert is one of only four Canadians to finish the Monaco Grand Prix.
