Tracy Krohn has not been cleared to compete in the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans. As a result, the #99 Dempsey-Proton Porsche 911 RSR has been retired from the race.
Following a crash on Wednesday, Krohn was admitted to a local hospital. He has been cleared, but is not allowed to race due to FIA protocol.
In a statement, Krohn Racing released the following: “Krohn Racing is pleased to announce that its principal and driver Tracy W. Krohn has been released from the hospital in Le Mans, France, after a high impact incident on the circuit and was released to return to racing.
“The FIA, according to its protocol, has mandated that Mr. Krohn refrain from racing in FIA events for a period of at least 1 week until such time as the mandatory protocol has been completed.
“Mr. Krohn will respect the protocol and will therefore not compete in this year’s 87th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race.”
The retirement brings the amount of entrants into the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans down to 61.
