Mehdi Bennani has re-signed with Proteam Racing for the 2012 season.

The 28-year-old Moroccan racer will contest a second season with the Italian outfit at the wheel of a BMW 320 TC.

In 2011 Bennani’s best result was a sixth place in Macau and he was classified seventh in the Yokohama Trophy.

“We are very pleased to keep Mehdi in the team and we expect a further improvement in his performance after the positive season last year,” team principal Marco Guiducci commented.

Proteam will start testing in February and will announce their second driver soon.
