KINETIC PRO DRIVER NIC JONSSON SPEAKS TO PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA MEMBERS AT ROAD ATLANTA

Jonsson Speaks to the PCA Crowd About the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Buford, Ga. - Kinetic Speed Shop and clients enjoyed another great weekend at Road Atlanta with the Peachstate Porsche Club of America during the latest of the club's driver education events meant to provide club members with the opportunity to discover their car's potential and drive at high speeds in a safe environment while improving overall driving skills. Kinetic clients benefited from the years of Porsche expertise of Kinetic technicians while taking full advantage of the air-conditioned motor coach during off time that is available for all such events. Kinetic co-owner and professional driver Nic Jonsson was in attendance as well and gave the enthusiastic crowd the chance to hear about his first experience driving in the historic 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Jonsson entertained approximately 60 PCA club members in the media center on Sunday detailing his first 24 Hours of Le Mans event and the chance to compete with a team that boasts three 24 Hour championships. Those in attendance heard Jonsson speak about topics from his candid experience staying at a chateau built in the 1700's and having to share only two bathrooms between 18 team members to what it was like going through the Mulsanne Straight in pitch black conditions. As Jonsson continued to speak, he showed the crowd pictures from the event including shots with some of the hundreds of thousands of fans and action from the track. After the speech ended, PCA members were given the opportunity to ask questions of the pro-driver which allowed an even more detailed description of Jonsson's Porsche and 24 Hour background.

As an added bonus, Jonsson also hosted a "Chalk Talk" at the Kinetic transporter in the paddock which was also available to everyone at the event. This session was a bit more technical as Jonsson provided PCA members with detailed information about Road Atlanta, a track that he has come to know like the back of his hand. Jonsson went through each section of the course and with the use of the track diagram was able to educate those in attendance about everything from braking points to navigating the difficult turns that can be problematic for drivers. Attendees were again given the chance to ask questions of Jonsson which offered that much more insight to one of the nations premier road courses.

"First of all, Nic is such a nice guy and really spoke about some interesting topics today," said Kinetic client Steve Adams. "Kinetic has so many excellent tools and cache items at their disposal that they can use in order to achieve the goals that they have. Nic's knowledge not only helps improve customer cars but also increases their confidence level which is just as important out there on the track."

Porsche Enthusiasts Listen to Jonsson Speak About Road Atlanta

"I was very pleased and surprised with so many people coming to hear me speak my about the 2006 24 Hours of Le Mans as well as the chalk talk, said Jonsson." "I think it's really neat to be able to offer these type of things to everyone in the paddock. The PCA is a great organization and something that we at Kinetic are proud to be a national sponsor of. When it comes to Porsche, they build a very good all around race car. The car is something that you can go buy and is in the ball park right out of the box which is something that very few manufactures do. That's why the club racing scene is so popular for Porsche. I would like to thank everyone who came out this weekend both for a great learning experience behind the wheel and to listen to my experiences. I hope to be able to do something like this again very soon."

Jonsson is an experienced international racer, test driver and trainer. For the past 16 years, he has worked at all levels of racing and the automotive industry. Jonsson currently races with Krohn Racing in the Grand-Am Rolex Series behind the wheel of the Krohn Daytona Prototype. He also competes in the American Le Mans Series GT2 class in a Porsche GT3 RSR in select endurance events with the three time Le Mans champion Petersen White Lightning team. Jonsson has also tested and developed cars for Haas CNC Racing for NASCAR's Nextel Cup and Busch series in addition to private coaching.
