David Brabham and Peter Kox will pilot car number five whilst joint team owner Tracy Krohn will drive car number six with Scott Maxwell. Both Lamborghini race cars are due to make their debut in the GTS class at the Mid-Ohio round of the ALMS in June. <BR> <BR> Australian David Brabham is a veteran of the ALMS series and the Le Mans 24 Hours. After four years racing for Panoz Motorsport he drove for Team Bentley during 2003 at the Sebring 12 Hours and Le Mans 24 Hours and won the Daytona Prototype Class at the Rolex 24 Hours. Dutchman Peter Kox has competed extensively in both European touring car and international endurance series, most recently recording a GTS class win at the 2003 Le Mans 24 Hours in a Ferrari 550 Maranello GTS and taking podium places in all three ALMS races entered in 2002. Kox also undertook testing during development of the Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT on behalf of Reiter Engineering, which has developed and built the car in conjunction with Audi Sport. Kox previously drove a Lamborghini Diablo GTR for Reiter Engineering in the 2001 FIA GT Championship. <BR> <BR> Joint team owner and businessman Tracy Krohn will pilot the second car alongside professional driver Scott Maxwell. Tracy Krohn graduated from the Panoz Racing School to race in the Panoz GT Pro Series, taking second position overall in 2003. Maxwell’s career has spanned open wheel series as well as sports car and endurance racing. He won the LMP 675 class at the 2000 Le Mans 24 Hours as well as the 2002 Grand-Am Cup Series. <BR> <BR> “We’re extremely pleased to be campaigning this line-up of exceptional drivers, who will each contribute to bringing out the full potential of the Lamborghini Murciélago R-GTs,” said team owner Dick Barbour. “Each driver brings experience of driving in relevant series and taking podium positions. Each shares the philosophy of Krohn-Barbour Racing: we’re not here to make up the numbers and we go racing to win championships!”<BR> <BR> No stranger to winning himself, the 2004 inception of Krohn-Barbour Racing marks Dick Barbour’s return to team ownership, following his ALMS LMP 675 class championship title in 2001 and his ALMS GT class championship in 2000. Barbour drove to three victories himself in the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1978, ’79 and ’80, and has also celebrated three Sebring 12 Hours wins as an owner and one as a driver.<BR> <BR> Krohn-Barbour Racing will run the Lamborghini Murciélago R-GTs from premises at Road Atlanta, Georgia, with factory support from Automobili Lamborghini. A team of Krohn-Barbour technicians will spend time at Reiter Engineering in Germany prior to the next ALMS race. <BR> <BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
