As 2008 Teammates to Tracy Krohn and Nic JönssonThe driver line-up, beginning at the 46th Annual Rolex 24 At Daytona, will include Krohn paired with endurance sports car veteran Eric van de Poele in the No. 75 Pontiac-powered entry. The No. 76 car will pair team regular Nic Jönsson with former Formula One star Ricardo Zonta for the season. Darren Turner and Oliver Gavin Join Krohn Racing for 2008 Rolex 24 At Daytona English sports car ace Darren Turner will be added to the Krohn No. 76 entry with Jönsson and Zonta for the Rolex 24 effort in January. Fellow Brit Oliver Gavin will join Krohn and van de Poele in the No. 75 car for the twice-around-the-clock endurance classic. TRACY W. KROHN, Krohn Racing Team Owner/ No. 75 Driver:“We are very pleased with the driver line-up we've assembled for 2008. Ricardo and Eric will add greatly to the team for our season-long efforts. Their sports car racing and endurance experience will be an asset to this team. I am looking forward to working with Eric as a teammate and benefiting from his tremendous experience in sports car racing. We expect an exciting and good year ahead of us. Oliver is a great match for Eric and I for Daytona, not only because he's tall, but he has impressive endurance racing credentials. Darren was a pleasure to drive with at Petit Le Mans in the Ferrari and will fit in perfectly with the team for Daytona. The partnership of Krohn Racing and Lola Cars, through Proto-Auto, has produced an exciting new chassis, which we anticipate will commence its testing program in the next few days.” DAVID BROWN, Krohn Racing Team Manager and Engineer:“I'm excited about the new driver line-up for 2008 and how well we think they fit into the team. Their already high level of accomplishment is going to be a great advantage to us. We think we have a strong driver line-up in 2008 and I am looking forward to working with them all. “Apart from his obvious speed in the car, which he's shown over many years of Formula One, in sports cars and at Le Mans with Mercedes and all his previous history, Ricardo proves he's quick, calm, and a good teammate. He has a good relationship with his co-driver, Nic. They worked very well together right from the outset. His attitude and pace is a huge advantage to us. “Eric has a great deal of experience and he will be a good partner to Tracy. Eric brings a level of 2008 maturity that will complement Tracy in the car. I think they will be a formidable pairing in the Championship, and together further advance the team's goals during the year.” ERIC VAN DE POELE, 2008 Krohn Racing No. 75 Driver:“What I have learned and what is fantastic is many people in the Krohn team are really top in their department. First, I met Tracy in New Orleans a few years ago and knew Jeff Hazell from Group C in the 1990's and later through Wayne Taylor. I worked with Jeff Braun the first time I drove the Ferrari 333 SP in 1995. We not only won the race but we finished first and fourth and I drove both cars. It was fantastic! I have known Vincenzo (Dr. Vincenzo Tota) and respect his work. He has been so kind and helped me even though we were never on the same team. I also worked with Barbara (Burns) with the Risi Ferrari team in Grand-Am. I don't personally know David Brown, but I know his reputation and it is really an honor to work with him. So I have arrived with a team where I know many people and it's very helpful. It is really like a dream to get back in America with people who form the successful Krohn team. You can't believe how happy I am. I'm also looking forward to seeing the workshop, to see the team, the car. Also it's a new challenge with the new chassis. I'm looking forward to being part of the Krohn Lola cooperation and I am sure the team will be able to develop the car with the support of Proto-Auto.” RICARDO ZONTA, 2008 Krohn Racing No. 76 Driver:“I am very happy to join the team. I know David (Brown) very well from Formula One, where we worked on the Jordan team together. “My goal this year is to win races and working with Nic and David, I'm sure that will be possible. The Grand-Am Series is very nicely organized and with experienced drivers racing.” NIC JONSSON, 2008 Krohn Racing No. 76 Driver:“I was fortunate to drive with Ricardo at Sonoma this year and get to know him a little bit. First of all, he is a very nice, laid back guy. Coming from the high-profile racing he has done in Formula One for seven or eight years, he's tremendously comfortable to be around and a very normal guy. He fit right in with the team the first time he showed up at the race track. It was a very nice environment to have him around. His credentials on the race track speaks for itself. At this point of my career, to be partnered up with a guy like Ricardo is an enormous opportunity and privilege. I firmly believe that Ricardo and I should be in contention for winning races and hopefully, both the driver and team championship in 2008. “Eric, I think, is a very good choice of a teammate/co-driver of Tracy. Obviously, they are the same height and Eric has tremendous experience as well, especially his extensive sports car history with a lot of big wins. I don't know him real well but we certainly know of each other because of racing together in the U.S. quite a while in Ferraris and other cars. He also brings, obviously, extensive experience, but also a laid-back and relaxed attitude. I think that is the way we are at Krohn Racing and he's going to fit right in. I think he'll be a fantastic partner to Tracy and help Tracy to become an even better race car driver than he's become so far.” DARREN TURNER, Krohn Racing No. 76 Driver for Rolex 24 At Daytona:“I'm excited to be joining Krohn Racing for the Rolex 24. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know and working with Tracy and Nic at this year's Petit Le Mans; they made me feel welcome and part of the team from day one. “As with all 24 hour races, the main aim will be to have a consistent and trouble-free race and push for a strong result. It will be my first time at Daytona, but the team has some experienced people within it and Tracy and Nic had a great run at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year, so hopefully we can start 2008 off with a podium finish. 2008 “I think the secret to success comes down to the complete package you have; car, drivers, conditions, teamwork, plus maybe a little bit of luck. I've been fortunate enough to work with some of the best people in the business and now have quite a bit of experience to draw on. In sports car racing, to be successful you have to know when to push and when to be patient, especially when it comes to dealing with slower traffic.” OLIVER GAVIN, Krohn Racing No. 75 Driver for Rolex 24 At Daytona:“Daytona 24 Hours is one of the classic sports car racing events and to have an opportunity to drive with Krohn Racing is fantastic! I'm really looking forward to it. I'll be driving with Tracy and Eric van de Poele. It seems that the team has put together a tall' driver car and short' driver car. That's quite unusual and it's good for me because when I get in the car the seat should be set-up comfortably. I think the Krohn team is very strong. They have a very good engineering base, very good organizational skills and proven themselves over the past few years to be one of the best teams in the Grand-Am. I want to help them achieve their goal of winning the race…whether that's our car or the other car. We're going to go there looking to get the best result possible and try to achieve as much as we can for Krohn and for Pontiac.” Eric van de Poele brings over twenty years of endurance sports car racing to the team, competing in more than 55 different racing cars on over 80 racing circuits worldwide.

    24 Heures du Mans Fan Guide 2006 „If you've never been at Le Mans, than you've never experienced a race!“ Tom Kristensen Update: 12.06.2006 22:00 Vorwort Bereits zum dritten Mal erstellen wir nun einen deutschsprachigen Le Mans Fan Guide. Wir möchten zuerst denjenigen danken, welche bereits 2004 unser Erstlingswerk gele- sen haben und uns motiviert haben auch 2005 einen Fan Guide zu gestalten. Die Tatsa- che, dass die 2005er Ausgabe noch weit mehr Leser erreichte als die 2004er Ausgabe ließ als Konsequenz nur zu: Auch 2006 wird es einen Fan Guide geben! Viele praktische Informationen am Ende des Fan Guide wurden für dieses Jahr überar- beitet und die Statistiken um das Rennergebnis 2005 erweitert. Wie schon in den Vor- jahren, gibt es auch in dieser Auflage wieder eine umfangreiche Starterliste sowie einen Blick in die Le Mans Historie. Hierfür haben wir uns den Vater der charmanten, ehemali- gen LMES Piloten Vanina Ickx, den sechsfachen Le Mans Sieger Jacky Ickx ausge- schaut. Die Zeit der LMP900 und LMP675 Fahrzeuge ist abgelaufen und mit dem AUDI R10 betritt erstmals ein werksseitig entwickelter LMP1 die Bühne von Le Mans. Und wir erleben erstmals den Einsatz eines konsequent vorbereiteten Diesel Motors - im AUDI R10. Le Mans 2006 also eine klare Sache? Dies bleibt abzuwarten. Vom Speed her scheinen die Pescarolo auf einer einzelnen Runde einen minimalen Vorteil zu haben. Ob dieser jedoch über die Distanz von 24h gehalten werden kann wird sich am 24. Wochenende des Jahres klären. Wir erleben aber auch eine LMP2 Kategorie die das laufen gelernt hat und sowohl an Qualität und Quanität zugelegt hat.

    Press Information Meet the Heroes of Le Mans Mission 2014. Our Return. Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911. After a number of class wins in the early fifties with the 550, the first time on the podium in the overall classification came in 1958 with the 718 RSK clinching third place.

  • Press Release July 9, 2011 No
    Press Release July 9, 2011 No. M 85/11 American Le Mans Series, round 3 in Lime Rock, USA First podium result of the season for the title defenders Stuttgart. In the American Le Mans Series, the title defenders clinched their first podium result of the season at their third attempt. With the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR fielded by Flying Lizard Motorsports, Porsche factory pilots Joerg Bergmeister (Ger- many) and Patrick Long (USA) finished second in the GT class at the Northeast Grand Prix in Lime Rock to improve their championship position. The race on the short 2.478 kilometre circuit in the US state of Connecticut was thrill- ing from start to finish. And it began well for Porsche: Patrick Long snatched second place right at the start and defended his position to the first pit stop and driver change. His teammate Joerg Bergmeister, who tops the winners’ list with five victo- ries from the last five years on this circuit, fell back just once to third place after an- other pit stop behind his works driver colleague Wolf Henzler, but was quickly able to regain his position. Bergmeister went on to deliver a spirited fight for the lead, at times only two seconds adrift of the front-runner. But with three laps to go, his result looked in jeopardy when tyre damage forced him into the pits. As always, the Flying Lizard crew worked swiftly on his number 45 Porsche so that he was able to defend his second place. At the flag only 20.387 seconds separated Bergmeister and Long from their first win of the season.

  • DBR 9 – the Definitive History
    www.porscheroadandrace.com DBR 9 – The Definitive History Published: 6th January 2021 By: Glen Smale Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/dbr-9-the-definitive-history/ DBR 9 – The Definitive History by Christoph Mäder and Thomas Gruber © T.A.G. Motor Books GmbH At Porsche Road & Race, we receive many books for review, and these include books on all manner of high performance roadgoing sports cars and motorsport. So, when the Aston Martin book, DBR 9 – The Definitive History arrived on my desk, it created some fanfare because not only was it a large parcel, but it was also a very heavy one. Intrigued, I set about opening it, and to be quite honest, it was unlike any other book I had previously had the privilege of reviewing. In a nutshell, this book created a watershed in my opinion, www.porscheroadandrace.com showing just how a definitive book on any automotive subject should be undertaken. Darren Turner, Aston Martin factory driver at the 2014 WEC Silverstone 6 Hour So impressive was this piece of work, that I decided at the time that it could not be reviewed in the normal sense of the word. And so I tracked down Darren Turner, the longest standing Aston Martin works driver, and one who was deeply involved in the development of the DBR 9 from the outset, and I conducted an interview with him at Le Mans in 2016. But wasn’t it a bit of an overkill to do an interview with a racing driver just for a book review, you might ask? No not really, and if you get your hands on a copy of the book, you will understand why! The quotes below are excerpts from my interview with Turner in the Aston Martin hospitality suite at Le Mans, and do not form part of the book itself.

    IN TOUCH THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF DUNLOP MOTORSPORT [ www.injection.tv ] LE MANS RACE EDITION Dunlop came away from the Le Mans 24 hours delighted with the performance of its dry and light wet tyres after a difficult race in which the changing condi- tions contributed to the overall result. “We were pretty competitive in all conditions other than full wet conditions,” says Dunlop’s chief tyre technician Matthew Simpson of the LMP2 tyres. “On the slick tyres and the light wet tyres, we had a performance advantage, but in full wet conditions we struggled to get temperature into our compounds. The Essex car had engine trouble so we were never going to do better than we did, but we have to look at the tyre perform- ance in wet conditions and make it better. “The Virgo Ferrari team were very strong and our development construction at the rear allowed us to double stint safely. There was no sign of difficulty in doing so, and there was zero deterioration from the first lap to the last in a double stint, according to the drivers.

Porsche and Farnbacher Ferrari “The Creation team had four punctures and three of them were caused by debris. There was not enough left of the tyre to establish the cause of the fourth.” The 2008 edition of the Le Mans 24 hours produced was difficult to drive because sometimes the power was everything from a record breaking qualifying and race there, other times it wasn’t and we couldn’t know what to John Nielsen, Casper Elgaard and Sascha Maassen pace, a record crowd of 258,500 turning out in eager expect.
