The F430 World Championship -after yet another stellar qualifying attempt for Race No. 2, set for Saturday in the North American division at the Ferrari Challenge International Finals. Tucker will start at the front of the F430 pack in the North American division, after qualifying the No. 755 F430 Ferrari with a fast lap of 141.524 mph.
Riccardo Ragazzi fronts the Italian grid, as Tucker closes the gap on the competition, setting up a true international showdown. In only the Level 5's second race at the prestigious Mugello Circuit in Mugello, Italy, the battle for the world finals for the F430 on Sunday will be off the charts.
Following the qualifying run, Race 1 brought an unfortunate and unavoidable end for Level 5 and Tucker. In rainy conditions, Tucker started from the No. 1 position among all F430 drivers, but was forced to retire from the event after his No. 755 machine was involved in an incident with the Ferrari of Houston's Mark McKenzie.
"Sometimes, you get caught up in some things that are out of your control, and it's very disappointing," said Tucker, who scored a combined three victories at the Ferrari Challenge International Finals the past two years in Valencia, Spain. "We got tangled up with another car, and there wasn't anything we could have done about it.
"You come over here to try and challenge for a victory - we fully expected we would do just that - and then something like this happens. We'll just put it behind us and go on to the next race. There's still a lot left to the weekend."
Indeed. The car sustained serious damage, however, the Level 5 Motorsports team worked through the night to get the car ready for Saturday's action.
Tucker was not injured in the incident.
"Scott actually ran a better qualifying lap for the second race than he did for the first. That's very encouraging," said Boardwalk Ferrari Team Manager David Stone. "This is a very challenging road course in dry conditions, much less the wet conditions that we experienced on Friday.
"We're looking for big things out of him Saturday and then on into Sunday for the World Final."
The green flag is scheduled to wave for race No. 2 at 2:40 p.m. local time Saturday.
