Krohn Racing released a statement, which reads:

“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.
