The American-based Krohn Racing team will challenge the 1000 Kilometers of Spa-Francorchamps this weekend with a win already under their belt this season at the wheel of their Ferrari F430.

After the inaugural race of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup Series at the 12 Hours of Sebring in March, the Krohn Racing team is ready to return to the podium. Krohn Racing celebrated victory in the GTE-Am class at Sebring, and is currently the GTE-Am point leader. Team owner/driver Tracy W. Krohn will again take to the cockpit with long-time teammate, Swede Nic Jönsson.

Tracy W. Krohn (Krohn Racing Team owner and driver): “It’s always fun to learn a new track, especially one with as much history as Spa. We have a training session set up early this week with our good friend and my former teammate Eric van de Poele. As a five-time winner of the 24 Hours of Spa, no one is better to teach Nic and me the nuances of this circuit.”

Nic Jönsson (Krohn Racing Driver): “Tracy has never been to Spa, and my last time there was a long time ago. The guys who race there more often and get to test there, like we do at Sebring or Road Atlanta, that’s their home turf. Therefore it’s going to be more difficult for us and will probably take the first few practice sessions to get up to somewhere decent and on pace with the guys who drive there more.”
