Fernando Alonso out to prove he is the best driver in the world

MEXICO CITY -- Fernando Alonso wants to prove he is the best racing driver in the world by participating -- and winning -- in as many forms of racing as possible.

After his debut at the Indy 500 earlier this season, Alonso will take part in the Daytona 24 Hours in January next year. Although not part of motorsport's Triple Crown, which Alonso is targeting before the end of his career, Daytona will mark his debut in a prototype sports car and could be seen as preparation for an assault on the Le Mans 24 Hours later that year.
