ELMS – Krohn Racing offers Ozz Negri Jr

Aged 50, little known in Europe and classified Silver (Silver in French), due to his age, on the driver categorization list published by the FIA, Oswaldo Negri Jr is a big name. Proof, last week he took pole position for the 2015 edition of the 24 Hours of Daytona on the Ligier JS P2-Honda of Michael Shank Racing.

Krohn Racing, which will evolve this year in European Le Mans Series with a Ligier JS P2-Judd, made no mistake, since he decided to enlist the services of the Brazilian for his European campaign. Negri Jr, who spent most of his career in the United States, will therefore share the wheel of the No. 57 with the American Tracy Krohn and the Swede Nic Jönsson.

“I am delighted by the opportunity offered to me to join Krohn Racing, underlines the winner of the 24 2012 Hours of Daytona. I had the opportunity to race with the Ligier JS P2 and I know what a good car it is. Driving in North America and Europe on the same chassis is what every driver dreams of. We always want to spend as much time behind the wheel as possible. »

The first public appearance of Ozz Negri Jr at the wheel of the No. 2 Ligier JS P57 is scheduled for the official tests of theELMS, at Paul Ricard, March 23 and 24.
