On April 1st,
1999, Siemens Semiconductor became Infineon Technologies - a dynamic company geared
towards success in the competitive, ever-changing world of microelectronics and
semiconductors. Infineon is also the sponsor of the Audi
R8C endurance race car. To help celebrate Infineon's Wall Street debut, the
Elmsford Group was called in to add some motorsport atmosphere to the Wall Street
dinner. A slot car track was set up on the huge boardroom table and became the
center of attention at this very elegant affair. Infineon CEO Helmut
Schumacher and NYSE Chairman Richard Grasso enjoyed racing their
"personalized" Porsche GT1 slot cars. Although the night
was a celebration and recognition of the impressive Infineon IPO, if the truth be told,
the most memorable time that evening was spent racing slot cars on Wall
Street.
