Krohn Racing ended the 2013 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) suffering a DNF (did not finish) in the season finale at the 6 Hours of Bahrain race today at Bahrain International Circuit.
On lap 83, with Mediani nearing the end of his stint, the No. 57 Krohn Ferrari F458 suffered a fuel system problem which stranded Mediani out on the Bahrain circuit.
According to FIA rules, a DNF was the finish classification for the team in a disappointing season for the popular green-and-blue Krohn Racing team.
RICK MAYER, Krohn Racing Race Engineer: “We had some sort of fuel system issue that had us out of fuel prematurely, two to three laps before anticipated. This was with using both the low fuel light and the fuel used counter. Something in the fuel cell makeup tank wouldn’t allow all the fuel to be scavenged. It’s unfortunate as Maurizio had a really good run in our third stint on the medium tire option and the car was competitive in our class and handling well. We were optimistic based on those lap times moving forward with the night tire option. I’m not sure we had the pace to win but a good result was certainly in the cards. In six hours a lot can happen unfortunately we didn’t get to the end of this one.”
