In 1993 Formula One held what turned out to be the very last F1 race at the Kyalami Circuit in South Africa. It was won by Alain Prost.

Next weekend his son returns to compete for his country as lead driver for A1Team France.

It will be 27 year old Nicolas Prost’s second full race meeting, following his run in Chengdu earlier this season when he finished eighth in the Sprint race.

“Chengdu was really important for me because I showed I had very good pace there,” Prost said in an interview with A1GP.com “It was the same for me in Sepang and Taupo in the rookie session because I was very quick also.”

“I’m really looking forward to racing in Kyalami, but I know it will be difficult because the level of competition between the top six or seven guys is really high. I still need to learn a little bit, however, but if I can get the pace we can fight up front.”

“I have been following very precisely what the team have been doing with Loic and all the new set-ups he has been working on, so it is the right time for more races and I’m feeling pretty confident.”

Talking about his fathers win “It’s difficult for me because everywhere I race my Dad seemed to win there sometime,” Prost added in good humour. “I’m really used to that feeling. It’s nothing new. If I go to Magny Cours, or wherever, people go ‘Hey do you remember that your Dad…’ and I’m quickly like ‘Yes, I remember what my Dad did…’ ”

The team say the decision to give Prost another chance is not performance related, as Loic Duval is fulfilling commitments elsewhere.

A1Team France Sporting Director, Olivier Panis, said: “Nicolas is already completely at home in our team. He’s well prepared for this new challenge after a season as test driver with A1Team France and a race in Chengdu.”

“We’ve already found an efficient way of working together, and we have every confidence in each other. This way we won’t waste any time and our objective remains the same – the rostrum!”
