With the announcement that the World Endurance Championship will be the premier international sports car championship in 2012, the racing world has been abuzz with excitement over the news. American team Level 5 Motorsports and driver Scott tucker are leading the North American charge.
In 2011, the Level 5 Motorsports team has made its mark while competing in the ILMC, an endurance racing tournament encompassing seven events on three continents.
In the most recent ILMC event, the American Le Mans Series Monterey presented by Patron at Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, Tucker and Level 5 Motorsports teammates Christophe Bouchut and Luis Diaz recorded their best overall finish in a thrilling race.
The highlight of the event for Level 5 Motorsports was the auspicious debut of the team's new Honda Performance Development ARX-01g. The HPD ARX-01g performed flawlessly throughout the six-hour marathon as the trio of Tucker, Bouchut and Diaz placed fourth overall in the event.
It was a particularly busy weekend for Tucker, who is seeking his fourth national driving championship. He also won the IMSA Cooper Tires Prototype Lites and the GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama.
The Level 5 Motorsports crew now turns its attention to the Petit Le Mans powered by Mazda at Road Atlanta scheduled for Oct. 1, the second-to-last event of the 2011 ILMC campaign. The team's second new HPD ARX-01g is set to make its debut at the Petit Le Mans, a 1,000-mile, 10-hour race. The tournament concludes with the 6 Hours of Zhuhai set to take place in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China on Nov. 12.
It has been an exhilarating year for the Level 5 Motorsports team, which scored podium finishes at Le Mans 24 Hours and the Imola 6 Hours on the ILMC circuit and victories in the 12 Hours of Sebring and the Grand Prix of Long Beach in American Le Mans Series competition.

Also during 2010, Tucker served as a Ferrari test driver as the company developed its next-generation supercar, the 599XX.
