Prost 'Tempted' to Race in DTM
Four times Formula One World Champion Alain Prost admitted that he could be tempted to race in the DTM next year, following his 'Race of Legends' experience at the Norisring this weekend
The Frenchman triumphed in the special charity event, which saw him renew his on-track rivalry with former Ferrari teammate Nigel Mansell. And, after being won over by his first impressions of the touring car machinery, Prost has hinted that he wants more.
When asked whether he would like to race in the DTM, he said: "I started to race on ice again and in the French GT Championship, but the most important thing is motivation, so let's see.
"It is very tempting to drive these cars in a good condition. Racing is in my blood."
Prost admitted that he was far more impressed with the DTM cars than he had been when he originally tried one of the cars out at Magny-Cours in France in 1995 - shortly after he had retired from F1.
"I liked the cars," he added. "I drove a DTM car 10 years ago. Maybe because I was just retiring from F1 it felt good but not as good as the feeling I have today.
"The cars have changed and they are a bit closer to a single-seater like F1. I really enjoyed this."
