For the 2011 Le Mans 24 Hours, Kronos Racing entered a Lola-Aston-Martin that Vanina Ickx shared with the drivers of team Marc VDS, Bas Leinders and rookie Maxime Martin.
The Belgian trio finished 7th overall and second in the private LMP1 category, behind the winning Audi R18 of Lotterer-Treluyer-Fassler, four Peugeot 908 HDi and the Rebellion-Toyota.
I assisted Marc Van Dalen, the manager of Kronos, in this adventure, and when we entered our motorhome to rest at night, we could hear “our” car passing, the beautiful #22 car being the only one powered by an atmospheric V12!
