Prost says US bid came close

ALAIN PROST revealed in his outspoken interview with Autohebdo magazine that there were two American groups which bid to buy Prost Grand Prix. He said that one of them was serious and that the plan was for the team to remain based in France but with an American offshoot.

Prost said that the deal did not come together as there was just not enough time left to get everything in place.
