Former Formula One champion Alain Prost will drive for the Audi team at Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race next year, French daily L'Equipe said.

Four-times F1 champion Prost, who will turn 50 in February, won 51 Grand Prix during his career.

"There will be two Audi cars at Le Mans next year thanks to the financial support of Orange," said L'Equipe. "And one of them will be driven by the four-times F1 World Champion Alain Prost."

The Frenchman will partner his compatriots Stephane Sarrazin and Emmanuel Collard for the June 18-19 race.
