D’Aste joins Wiechers Sport

By

32-year old Italian Stefano D’Aste will take part again in the FIA World Touring Car Championship. D’Aste who raced the 2005 and 2006 seasons with Proteam Motorsport, has now joined the Germany-based Wiechers Sport and will drive their brand new BMW 320si.

“We are happy to have Stefano D’Aste with us. He is a very quick driver with a great potential. I’m sure that we will have both, success and fun with him during the season!” team manager Dominik Greiner said.

“During the test we had in Oschersleben a few weeks ago, Stefano was impressed by the car. I think that we have a good package and I’m looking forward to have a successful season with him!” commented technical director Thomas Schiemann.

“I’m very happy to race with Wiechers-Sport. I like very much the team and their professional working approach. We will be working all together to do our best in 2007. In the meanwhile I’m going to buy a pocket German-Italian dictionary,” said the driver.
