Christian Ried temporarily comes out of retirement

Here is the young retiree. After announcing the end of his career in 2023, Christian Ried is expected at Interlagos this weekend for the 6 Hours of São Paulo. Indeed, Giorgio Roda withdraws for reasons that we do not know, Proton Competition did not go very far to look for his replacement since it is the boss-driver.

On the Interlagos side, Christian Ried will accompany Dennis Olsen and Mikkel Pedersen in the No. 3 Ford Mustang LMGT88.

@FIAWEC has returned to Brazil for the first time since 2014! The second half of the season kicks off this weekend with the 6-hour race in São Paulo on July 14th.
