I thought this might be happening, Autosport reported yesterday that Gary Parfett was aiming to be racing in DTM again next season, while mixing it with his testing commitments to McLaren in 2007. Parfett was the other driver in the frame for the 2006 seat.
Parfett's managers, Brundle and Blundell are keen to get him into F1 soon however, it may happen via a touted McLaren F1 sister/junior team or another team running Merc engines.
IN the meantime he's going back into DTM, to win back his 2005 title.

Oh dear. That means listening to Carlton Kirby wetting himself with excitement over Paffett in the DTM again.......
Good to see McLaren make a move like this. For a while I thought Uncle Ron might err on the side of caution and give the drive to Pedro de la Rosa instead and let Hamilton test for a year.

It was inevitible that Hamilton would get the drive - bet Paffet is pissed despite a years testing tho he did get his ass handed to him going by the testing times....
Might make for an interesting season.
The couple of races I saw him race last season showed that he can race. Might even watch a bit of F1 again.
