CHINESE racing driver 'Frankie' Cheng Congfu will compete for Mercedes in the German touring car (DTM) championship this year, the carmaker said yesterday.
The 25-year-old, who six years ago became the first driver born in Chinese mainland to get behind the wheel of a Formula One car when he did a demonstration run in a McLaren, will be the first Chinese in the series that starts at Hockenheim on April 25. Cheng will be racing against a field that includes former F1 drivers Ralf Schumacher and David Coulthard as well as current McLaren reserve Gary Paffett and Force India's Paul di Resta.
