Former F1 driver Heinz-Harald Frentzen will take to the wheel of an Opel Vectra G🌠TS V8 in ♔the DTM in the coming season.

T🍸he triple Grand Prix winner today signed his contract at Adam Opel AG headquarters in R?ssels🎶heim, Germany.

"I realized immediately the whole team is highly motivated. I think the prerequisites for winning races exist. The challenge is to contribute my share to the team's s💙uccess," Frentzen said.

Carl-Peter Forster, chairman and ✤managing director of Adꦰam Opel AG, welcomed the new driver 'as a strong fighter and highly popular racer, who is an excellent match for the Opel brand'.

"Frentzen has never given up - even when the g🧔oing got tough,"🌃 said Forster, "That's what makes him special."

In addition to three Grand 💛Prix victories, Frentzen's Formula One career [1993-2003] includes second in the♒ 1997 World-Championship.

For Opel, the relationship with Frentzen goes back a long way: In the 1988 season, he drew attention to his skills at the wheel of a Formula Ope🐼l Lot🍸us, clinching the German Championship title.

In addition to Frentzen, Marcไel F?ssler, Peter Dumbreck and Manuel Reuter will be in the cockpits of DTM Vectras at the season opener at Hockenheim.
