DTM 2007 News, Rumours, Entries...
Hakinnen and Alesi tested DTM cars and next thing we know, they're on the starting grid. Could we see Damon Hill in a MB in' 07?

Or was it just a quick test to get a feel for the car before taking passengers out for 'taxi rides' at Brands?

Who they want to change?
Hakkinen, Green, Spengler & Schneider are a pretty strong troop. The most at risk on performance is Green...unless Schneider or Hakkinen are looking to quit/move on. |

We have to think what car Panis would drive, a new car or other old?

Hakkinen got the new car...they moved up to 5 2005 spec cars especially for him alongside Green, Schneider, Alesi & Paffett last season. Spengler had a 2004 spec car.
Alesi always ran with the top model, this year has been the exception being moved down to the Persson squad with Margaritis. Frentzen always ran with the latest Opel...and this year has one of the four '06 Audi cars with Tomczyk, Ekstrom & Kristensen. |

Considering the state of the current DTM, would MB invest in developing a brand new C Class bodystyle? If it's going to race in '07, I expect MB to be already testing it on the track. And if they are testing it, wouldn't there be spy pics on the internet or making motorsport news?

It'd be brilliant to see Susie Stoddart in an up to date car next season.

I think endurance racing.
It would not surprise me if he will race in Japanese Super GT next year. |

from jeanalesi.com
Hello, Just a brief word to tell you news of my career: I will end my participation in the DTM championship at the end of the year. Not it is not bad news... I will indeed be present in competition next year. I will tell you a little more about my program in the days to come... a little patience and a big thank you for all for all your support. Jean seems to have a plan. |

I think he'd be great for champcar. The new car would suit his driving style.

You'll never, ever find Alesi in Champ car.
He was a young family, a Japanese wife, a vineyard and lust for the Italian countryside. Jean Alesi is very European he has absoloutly no desire to race in the U.S. not full time anyway. |
