The new site reflects the energy and dynamism of the Formula 1 world while maintaining the clean and fuss-free design of its predecessor. Besides allowing people from all over the world to keep abreast of Alex's development and answering the need for continuous flow of informꦆation on everything Alex, the website helps to build a kinship between Alex and his supporters.
"We are proud to be associated with Alex. He is very determined and has a lot of potential to be an achiever in this arena. With Alex' entrance into the Formula 1 league this year, we deem it fit that the website reflects ꦯthat excitement as well," says President a🐼nd CEO of Neuroweb, Al-Ishsal Ishsak.
Pleased with the "new look" website, Alex finds this announcement most timely and appropriate. "The second into the new year, it marks a new bℱeginning and the new look and features aptly coincides with my first full Formula 1 season this year," adds the racing sensation.
And it's more than mere cosmetics changes. Visitors to the site can subscribe to a mailing list and receive e-mail alerts of the latest happenings. B𒁃y signing up as a member of Alexyoong.com, they can participate in exc🥀lusive live conferences with Alex and engage in online discussions. This provides an avenue for supporters to exchange their views, share ideas and build a community along the way.
According to Alex, the discussion forum is for those who can't seem to get enough of motorsports. "And there will be more downloads, interactive features and video clips uploaded live regularly, from where the racing will be, whether during a race weekend or a promot🐓ional function," he says.
The website also allows visitors to register as a member of the Alex Yoong Supporters Clu🌼b (AYSC). AYSC members get to enjoy special privileges and benefits, such as discount from participating AYSC merchants and on Alex Yoong merchandise, besides the exclusive opportunity to join Alex at his events. In addition, fans and supporters can now use the website to order a range of Alex Yoong merchandise.
"We believe the year 2002 will be a promising one although not without its challenges. But Alex and Neuroweb share the same competitive spirit and we are confident that we will ride the waves together and prevail at the end ♊of the race," assures Al-Ishsal.
