I was born on the 20th of November 1972 and grew up in Gersau, a village with about 1900 inhabitants, situated in the centre of Switzerland, next to Lake Lucerne and between the mountains. - You see, a very nice place.

I am a fan of the French Formula 1-driver Alain Prost since having watched the first races on TV. In February 1987, there was a nice portrait about him in a Swiss magazine and I thought, I could put it aside. Later, I saw some other pictures and articles about Alain in newspapers and magazines and began to collect all of them. So, I became more and more a fan of Alain and soon began to collect photos of him as well as some model cars. I bought Alain Prost-books and posters and made some advertisements in motorsport magazines. Like this, I found some people with the same or similar interests and began to exchange various items. Today I'm collecting just everything from Alain. Over the years, I collected many thousands of newspaper clippings and magazine pictures about Alain from many different countries (mainly from Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium, England, America, Macedonia, Hungary, Austria, Italy, Japan, Estonia, Lithuania and Australia). I have collected several thousands original photos of Alain, many videos with interviews and portraits, model cars, pins, stickers, clothing, more than 30 different books written by or over Alain and a lot of other memorabilia of him. I'm always searching for fans, who would like to help me. Please send me any Alain Prost articles and interviews you have. I have lots of exchange material of many different drivers and of course also of Alain Prost... Please contact me, if you are interested.

So far, I visited the following Formula 1 Grand Prix (you can click on the links to read the story):
- Australian GP, Adelaide, 1993
- Belgium GP, Spa-Francorchamps, 1996
- Monaco GP, Monte-Carlo, 1997
- Monaco GP, Monte-Carlo, 1998
- British GP, Silverstone, 1999
- Monaco GP, Monte-Carlo, 2000
- Monaco GP, Monte-Carlo, 2002

Besides this, I visited the CART Grand Prix of Detroit 1999 (just for fun) and went to the F1 tests in Silverstone on 18th August 1999 as a guest of the Sauber team. On 19th July 2000, I had the possibility to attend the F1-tests in Silverstone again. Both times, it was very special, as I met many F1 drivers. I also have met many Formula 1 drivers here in Switzerland, for example James Hunt and Clay Regazzoni in Gollion, Jacques Villeneuve, David Coulthard and Damon Hill in Villars-sur-Ollon, Eddie Irvine in Emmen, Nick Heidfeld, Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa in Hinwil and Jarno Trulli in Schwyz, to name just a few of them.

I have met Alain Prost six times so far: The first time was in Adelaide in November 1993, when Alain was racing in F1 for the last time. Then I saw him again a few days later at the airport in Singapore, where he had to change flights (coming from Adelaide). Alain was actually having the same flight itinerary as me (at least until Paris)! The third time I saw Alain was in Monaco in May 2000. In September 2002, Alain was competing in a bicycle race in Engelberg, close to where I live, so of course I went there to see him... Then in January 2005 in Lans-en-Vercors where he was racing in the Andros Trophy and in May 2005 in Dijon, where Alain was racing in the French GT Championship. I have seen him several times besides that, but he was driving by on a scooter (like in Monaco 1997) or I didn't want to bug him (like in Nyon 2003) or I just missed him by a few seconds (like in Gollion 1990).

I don't have a lot of time for other hobbies besides the hobby called "Alain Prost". Anyway, I had a steering wheel on my computer during several years and drove races from time to time, but nowadays I don't have enough time anymore to do so. When I do have time, you can find me racing for the RFR-Team in the on-line racing game Trackmania Nations... I also like music of course... My favourite music groups are "Roxette", "Vixen" and "Bon Jovi", but I really like many different songs and artists (they would fill another page). For a while (back in the 90's), I have also been creating some (mainly German) Real Orche files - Real Orche is the world leading Midi Karaoke machine that runs under Windows - if you are interested in some of those files, please contact me... Another hobby is to help other fans of Alain to enlarge their collection and exchange articles with other F1-fans...

Of course I also have to work to earn the money I spend for my Prost-collection... I work for the canton of Schwyz since May 1994. I started off as a taxman at the source tax department, where I worked for 11 years (as you might know, many famous F1 drivers and team personnel were living in the canton of Schwyz at that time: Kimi Räikkönen or Felipe Massa, for example). Since 2005, I'm working for the computer department at the tax office...

In February 2007, I bought my new computer from PCDesigns. Click here for the computer specification. Well, I guess that's all you have to know about me... I always like to hear from other Prost-fans, so don't hesitate to contact me... You can also find out more about the history of this website.

O.k. - that's it. I do have a page on Facebook, so you can stop by there for more pictures and news about me... Click here for a small list of the people who helped me creating this site (you will also find some links to some of their sites)...
