Four-time Formula One world champion Alain Prost has signed up to compete at this year's Race of Champions event in Dusseldorf.

The Frenchman, who won 51 grands prix in a 14-year F1 career, will be competing for the first time in the annual showpiece event which pits drivers from a host of motor racing series against each other in identical machinery.

Prost is the third driver to sign up for the show at Dusseldorf's Esprit Arena on November 27-28.

Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel will again take part, as will seven-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher, who with 91 victories is the only man to have won more grands prix than Prost.
