Team MRS, a regular entry in the International Porsche Supercup, announced its withdrawal from the opening round of the season in Bahrein, due to the situation in the country.
The Porsche Supercup series is run as a support race at certain European Formula 1 Grands Prix, with the exception of the opening round that is presented in Bahrain.
Karsten Molitor, team MRS’s chief, announced that his team decided not to race in Bahrain, arguing about team crew safety.
"Ongoing unrests in the Kingdom of Bahrain in connection with the security situation have caused doubts by the team from Lonsee," the team announced.
"It is the first time in our team history that we have had to cancel a race of the Porsche Supercup. According to our drivers and partners we have reached the conclusion to start only at the second race in Barcelona".
