RISI COMPETIZIONE’S #83 WITHDRAWN FROM AFTERNOON TEST SESSION
HOUSTON, TX, (Sunday, June 1, 2008,
1600 hrs) -- At 1450 hours (Central European Time) this afternoon Tracy
Krohn, at the wheel of the #83 Krohn green Risi Competizione Ferrari
430 GT, left the track after exiting the final Porsche curve.
A wheel on the grass caused the car to become de-stabilised and the rear
of the Ferrari made heavy contact with the barriers before coming to
a final halt on the track just level with pit entry.
The Texan driver was taken to the medical centre for checks and later
to the local Le Mans hospital for a precautionary scan but was talking
and alert throughout, and after, the incident.
The extent of the damage to the car means that it will take no further
part in today’s test session for the 24 Hours of Le Mans on June
14/15.
