Krohn/TRG - Mont-Tremblant test

quick start

 

Krohn Racing/TRG set the fifth-fastest Daytona Prototype time during testing
for the six-hour Rolex Sports Car Series race set for Saturday on le Circuit
Mont-Tremblant. Nic Jönsson turned the team's fast lap in the No. 67
Pontiac-powered Riley Mk XI he drives with Tracy Krohn. His lap time was one
minute 31.463 seconds on the 2.65-mile road course. Jönsson's and Tracy's
teammates Jörg Bergmeister and Christian Fittipaldi were close behind in the
No. 66 Pontiac-Riley (1:32.294).

 

leader

 

Tracy Krohn leads the Jim Trueman Award standings for sportsman drivers in
the Rolex Series Daytona Prototype class. Bolstered by two top-five
finishes, he has a six-point edge (855 to 849) after four of 14 races this
season.

 

"I wasn't aware of that, but I'm happy that I'm leading it," he said.
"Hopefully, we'll have a better lead after this race. We had a little bad
luck last race, but we had a good day today. We still have some work to do
on setup, but the car was good."

 

southern championship

 

Christian Fittipaldi is chasing a stock-car racing championship in his
native Brazil. He reported mixed results from the first two races of the
season.

 

"The first race, we weren't as competitive as the other people. We started
29th out of 40 and finished 18th. We had a coming-together with a couple of
cars during the race. Even if we'd had a perfect race, I would have only
finished 12th or 13th. The second race, we were very competitive the whole
weekend, qualified third and ran second for the whole race. Two laps from
the end, the transmission broke and I finished 10th. So, on to the next
one!"
