Paul di Resta will compete in the DTM touring car series for Mercedes-Benz in 2014. The Scotsman, who has won the series' title in 2010, will return to DTM after a three-season race stint in Formula 1 with Force India.
"It feels really good to be back in the DTM and to see so many familiar
faces again, the 27 year old said. "The DTM is a fantastic racing series with three strong
premium brands, a very competitive field and a very evenly matched bunch
of drivers."
"I’m really looking forward to working with the whole
Mercedes-Benz DTM team and being part of another championship challenge.
Much has changed since my last DTM race in Shanghai in 2010 with new
cars, a new set of rules and a third manufacturer, but what has not
changed is my enormous appetite for success. Mercedes-Benz has given me a
car that I can use to fight for wins and the title."
"However, I realise
that it will not be easy. My competitors already have two years of
experience with the new generation of vehicles, but, starting with
today’s first test, I’ll be going flat out in order to be capable of
winning at the Hockenheim season opener in early May."
