Welcome to prostfan.com (formerly called Alain Prost-Homepage 3 / AP-H3), dear fans and friends of Alain Prost, Nicolas Prost and Team Prost Grand Prix! Thank you for visiting my unofficial Prost-website!

UPDATES
I'm working on prostfan.com whenever I have time. I try to update the site at least twice a week or even daily. Don't forget to bookmark WWW.PROSTFAN.COM, so you will always find your way back....

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
I wrote the whole prostfan.com with Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0 (from 1995-1999), Word 2000 (from 2000-2002) and PROTON Code Editor (from 2003 until today). No additional HTML-programmes were used. Graphics and pictures are made and/or optimized by me with Corel Photopaint 7.4. At this place, I want to say Thanks to Stefan Münz, who created a helping tool for HTML, which can be downloaded at his German HTML help website. Prostfan.com is best viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 with enabled Java-script, in "True Color"-mode and a screen resolution of 800 x 600 (without frames) or 1280 x 1024 (with frames), but also works quite well with most other hardware and with any newer browsers.

HISTORY OF PROSTFAN.COM:
I am connected to Internet since August 1995. When I was searching for Alain Prost-related websites for the first time on World Wide Web back then, the only site I found was the page of Alan Wong, which is now called Alain Prost Grand Prix Homepage and is in the meantime also hosted by prostfan.com. It was (and still is) a great site and I was very impressed. I had no idea, how to create an own homepage, but was reading something about it and tried it out. Many ideas came from Alan Wong's page and the mainpage of my first site looked similar to his mainpage. In June 1996, I had finished the first version of this site. The real "birthday" of my own Alain Prost-Homepage was on 27th August 1996, after a lot of typing (all the results of Alain's 199 races)... I decided to call the page "Alain Prost-Homepage 2", as I thought, Alan Wong's page would be the first and mine the second one. But only half a month later, I received an e-mail from Santiago de Tezanos Faget, who wrote, that his page (Formula Prost - closed down in July 2003) is the second one and mine the third. That was just a joke of him, of course. Anyway, I changed the name of my Homepage to "Alain Prost-Homepage 3". And this name was staying the same for a very long time (9 years!), only the contents and the design changed and improved again and again.

In January 1998 I founded the Prost-Webring, which connects the Alain Prost related websites. In September 1998, I bought a new URL, which is well-known in the meantime and, in 2005, also became the new name of this site: WWW.PROSTFAN.COM...

In June 1999, I bought once again a new URL: WWW.ALAINPROST.NET. In February 2000, I moved all the Team-related pages to a Sports Network called "Rivals". In June 2000, I added my own search engine to prostfan.com, which you can find on the homepage.

In 2001, the guestbook was starting to work again (it didn't work for more than a year). In September 2001, I decided to leave Rivals.net and started to move the Team pages back to this site. The site was then moved to the Bluewin servers in Switzerland.

In 2003, Alain's son Nicolas started racing in Formula Campus. He agreed on writing exclusive race reports for this site. Therefore, a Nicolas Prost Page was added to prostfan.com!

At the beginning of the year 2004, my site was becoming too big to have it hosted by Bluewin. In February 2004, I got my own shared web server, which is situated in Switzerland at Hostpoint. This will allow me to upload almost unlimited pages and photos. In August 2004, Alan Wong's Alain Prost Grand Prix HomePage moved to the prostfan.com server, so the two biggest Alain Prost finally were united on one webserver...

In 2005, I definitely changed the name "Alain Prost-Homepage 3" into "prostfan.com". In October 2006, the password-protected Member Area of prostfan.com opened up. At the same time, the size of the website reached the 500 MB mark. Almost one year later, in September 2007, the size already doubled to exceed the 1 GB mark.

THE FUTURE OF PROSTFAN.COM:
My further plans are:
- Informations on prostfan.com in more languages (German mirror site)
- More updates, more news (several times a week)
- More pictures (I'm already working on that)
- Alain's complete biography year by year
- More interviews (translations)
- Adding a page about Sacha Prost
- etc, etc...
