After weeks of teasing videos, a ride swap has become official.
Fernando Alonso and Jimmie Johnson will swap rides on November 26 at Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir, Bahrain. The two legends of the motorsports world will do something only a few other driver combinations have done in recent years joining Lewis Hamilton/Tony Stewart and Juan Pablo Montoya/Jeff Gordon.
Both drivers posted a final video this morning on their respective Twitter accounts entitled “will you let me drive your car?”.

His favorite tracks on the circuit include Barber Motorsports Park, Iowa Speedway, Martinsville Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway, Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville, and Bristol Motor Speedway.
During the season, Christian also spends time as a photographer with multiple other outlets shooting Monster Energy AMA Supercross, Minor League & Major League Baseball, and NCAA Football.
I wonder if Alonso remembers how to drive a stick?
