Opel to turn to Williams for DTM program – report

(GMM) Williams could be looking to get involved with the premier German touring car championship DTM.

It is reported by Switzerland's Motorsport Aktuell that German carmaker Opel is keen on a collaboration in the series with the famous British formula one team.

Williams chief executive Adam Parr is quoted as saying that a meeting with Opel took place "a few months ago", but described reports of a likely collaboration as a rumor.

But he added: "Personally, I would love to do it. I would be very interested."

Opel is thought to be on the verge of announcing a DTM program, with spokesman Volker Brien confirming a decision is due "within the next two months".

Reports say Opel would compete with its Insignia model, prepared by Williams.
