Chart-topping French duo get even luckier as F1 team adorns car with Daft Punk imagery ahead of prestigious weekend race
Daft Punk's bid for world domination has hit new heights with the news that a racing car bearing their colours will compete in this weekend's Monaco grand prix.
A car from the UK-based Lotus team, emblazoned with imagery of the French duo, will take part in the race. The team's Twitter page has been posting a series of cryptic video messages, and linking to YouTube clips suggesting that driver Romain Grosjean is going to #GetLucky. Daft Punk's record label, Columbia, is a partner of the Lotus F1 team.
News of the grand prix is just the latest development in the incredible return of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. Get Lucky, their comeback single, is enjoying a fourth consecutive week at No 1, and parent album Random Access Memories is on course to be the fastest-selling album of 2013.
For their next move, Daft Punk are planning to remix themselves. They told Pete Tong: "We're working on some mixes ourselves. So, yes, there will probably be Daft Punk mixes of Daft Punk. Usually, we never mix ourselves; that's something we feel we're interested in doing this time."
