Frenchman Alain Prost, who clinched the World Championship four times, drove his 1983 Renault Formula 1 car this past weekend at the Paul Ricard HTTT in southern France.
Prost, aged 56 took the wheel of his old Renault RE40 powered by a V-6 turbo engine.
In 1983, Prost won four Grands Prix and scored 57 points but had to settle for second place in the World Championship to Nelson Piquet.
This past weekend, Alain Prost (nicknamed “The Professor”) shared the track with his son Nicolas who drove a Lotus Renault GP F1 car.
Interestingly, Alain Prost was wearing a suit and a helmet he kept from the 1983 season!
