DANIEL MARCELLO, CO-FOUNDER
I grew up in a big Italian family in New York, studied mechanical engineering, and played college football with my best friend and now co-founder, Preston. Cars and racing have always been my passion, with Formula 1 as my lifelong obsession — I love the science, precision, and brilliance behind it.
Today, I’m a project engineer in the natural gas industry, leading high-stakes projects that sharpen my leadership, problem-solving, and ability to perform under pressure. I’m also driven by travel and global connections, which fuels my mission to bridge American talent with European motorsport.
I’m relentlessly curious, competitive, and determined to build Transatlantic Racing Network into the first true pipeline for U.S. drivers to reach European racing and F1 — while inspiring a new generation of Americans to fall in love with the sport.
PRESTON JEFFREY, CO-FOUNDER
I grew up in a military family, moving often before settling in Virginia. I studied Biomedical Engineering at The Catholic University of America, where I also played football with my best friend and now Transatlantic Racing Network co-founder, Dan.
I’ve always loved cars, but it was Dan who introduced me to Formula 1 — sparking a passion for the sport’s science, precision, and innovation. That curiosity quickly grew into an obsession to learn everything about F1 and the road to get there.
Today, I work at Ace Hardware while pursuing my first engineering role, building leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills along the way. My football background shaped my discipline, competitiveness, and drive to perform under pressure.
With TRN, my mission is to create a true pipeline for American drivers to reach F1 while inspiring the next generation to fall in love with racing and chase big dreams — even when the path isn’t clear.
