Porsche 911 n°99 – Dempsey-Proton package

Accident yesterday during free practice 24 Hours of Le Mans, at the Mulsanne straight, Tracy Krohn was transferred to hospital to undergo additional examinations.

Christian Ried's team was already working on the car's reserve chassis, but the driver's condition requires a stoppage of at least a week.

De fait, l’Américain ne disputera la 87e édition au sein de l’équipage composé avec Patrick Long et Niclas Jonsson sur la Porsche 911 RSR n°99 – Dempsey-Proton Racing, la voiture étant également forfait pour le reste du week-end.

“In accordance with its protocol, the FIA ​​has asked Mr Krohn to refrain from participating in FIA events for a period of at least one week until the end of the mandatory protocol, is it indicated on the Krohn Racing Instagram account. Mr. Krohn will respect the protocol and will therefore not participate in the 87th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans organized this year.

“This is a major disappointment for the Dempsey-Proton Racing team and along with my regular co-driver, Nic Jonsson, we would like to thank everyone on the team for their efforts, explains Tracy Krohn.

Many thanks to Patrick Long for making a great effort to be with us for this race, as he had to overcome many obstacles to even make it to Scrutineering last Monday for the 24 Hours of Le Mans after his victory in the GT3 class in Sonoma, California, United States on Sunday.

I respect the FIA's decision, seen as a safety measure, and I hope to participate again next year in this incredible and historic race. I would like to thank the healthcare professionals present at the circuit and at Le Mans Hospital for the rapid and professional care provided. »
