Opel could be set to return to the German touring car championship (DTM) – and it could be doing so with the help of Williams.
Swiss motorsport mag, Motorsport Aktuell, has reported that Opel – which quit the DTM at the end of 2005 – is keen to return to the tin-top series but won’t make a decision for a couple of months.
Meanwhile, Williams chief exec Adam Parr has said that it has been in meetings with Opel, but won’t confirm anything. "Personally, I would love to do it,” he says. “I would be very interested."
If it returns, Opel would base its entry on the Insignia family car, which would go up against the Audi A4 and Mercedes C-class. BMW is also rumoured to be considering a return to the series – possibly in 2012 with an M3-based entry.
