Ferrari.com is continuing its journey among the crews due to take part in the next 24 Hours of Le Mans behind the wheel of a Prancing Horse car. Staying with the GTE-Am class we are going to take a close look at the 488 GTE no. 83 of DH Racing, which in fact will compete in the colours of the Krohn Racing Team on the occasion of the French classic.
The team. DH Racing was founded in 2016 with a first aim of winning the Asian Le Mans Series championship. The team competed with two cars and triumphed with Michele Rugolo. Its victory in the championship secured it a place at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for which occasion the car has been handed over to members of the Krohn Racing team. The car will be in green colour and crewed by Tracy Krohn, Nic Jonsson and Andrea Bertolini.

In 2001 he had his first outing in GT races and the following year at the wheel of the Ferrari 360 Modena of team JMB in which he came fourth. In 2003, with the same team, he won the N-GT title while the following year he became a test driver for Scuderia Ferrari. It was at this time that the development of the Maserati MC12 began. He competed in this car in the last four races of the 2005 season together with Mika Salo. Bertolini ended up winning virtually everything with the Maserati.
