The End Of Red Bull
Up In Smoke
 


The End – For Now

“I saw some smoke and I shut it down.” Dieter Quester describes the preview and final act that ended the quest for RWS Motorsports in the Red Bull / KTM Porsche.

Hans-Jorg Hofer noted that an engine failure was not something his team has had to contend with before. At this point, they don’t know exactly what went wrong. “It might be a valve but we don’t know right now.”

Hans-Jorg Hofer had family visit with him for this race. While the end result was not as desired, the smiles in this photo, taken earlier in the event, are unmistakable!



So it’s not even a half a watch for this team, having gone out in the 12th hour, in 24th position overall and 4th in GT. 310 laps of optimism and desire evaporates into smoke.

Keeping an upbeat demeanor throughout the spins and tire issues, the team sends off this coverage with a hearty salute.



Next up – Sebring!
