Timeline

1949

Louis Krages (born Klaus Louis Kragés, 2 August 1949 – 11 January 2001), more commonly known by his pseudonym John Winter, was a German racing driver and businessman.

Krages used the racing pseudonym "John Winter" to prevent his family, mainly his mother, from learning about his hobby.

1985

As John Winter, he won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1985 with the Porsche 956 of Joest Racing, with Klaus Ludwig and Paolo Barilla.

Winter drove a single stint in the early hours of Sunday in support of his teammates for less than an hour, most of it behind the safety car.

After the success and the publicity involved, his alter ego was revealed to his family when, the next day, his mother picked up a newspaper, with a picture of Krages on the rostrum.

1986

Winter spent many seasons competing in the German Interserie series, usually racing privately entered Porsches, taking the title in 1986.

Winter was also a regular entrant at Le Mans, competing 10 times at the race.

1988

Apart from his victory, his best finish was third in a Joest Racing Porsche 962 in 1988.

1991

He would also win the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1991 for Joest in the same car and also drove in the IMSA GTP until 1993, the year he won at Road America with Manuel Reuter, when the series ended, making the car obsolete.

1994

In 1994, Winter, along with the team, defected to DTM, driving an Opel Calibra.

In Round 10, Race 1 at AVUS, he was involved in fiery accident, in which his car disintegrated in a fireball.

For the following year, driving a privateer Mercedes-Benz C-Class, he reverted to his real name, which he competed throughout the season and which was also his last.

Krages sold off his business and emigrated to Atlanta where he started up a toy business.

2001

In 2001, suffering from problems in his business and from depression, he committed suicide in Atlanta, Georgia, by shooting himself, at his home.
