News of 21st June 1997


Team Prost had tests in Magny Cours on 18th and 19th June 1997, they tested tyres and, of course, they also wanted to find out, which driver will get the chance to replace Olivier Panis.

I have found most of the informations I provide you on this page on official Team Prost homepage. The translation from French to English is made by me.

While Shinji Nakano tested tyres on Tuesday, Emmanuel Collard has got accustomed with the JS45.
