D’Aste returns to Proteam

Stefano D’Aste will return to Proteam Motorsport for the 2010 FIA WTCC season. The Italian driver previously raced for the team directed by Valmiro Presenzini Mattoli in 2005, 2006 and 2008, but spent the 2007 and 2009 seasons with Wiechers-Sport.

"I am very pleased with our agreement. With D’Aste back in the team we can look at the next season with high expectations," said Presenzini.

"I am really happy I have received this offer from Proteam. We have managed to find a deal and we have the same goal: achieving the best possible results without wasting money," D’Aste stated.

The team is currently negotiating to sign their second driver, whose name will be unveiled soon.
