The very first race from the last quarter from the auto racing year was a brand new start for Level 5 Motorsports. The Scott Tucker-owned, Microsoft Office-sponsored team first showed its long-awaited HPD ARX-01g in the team's Sept. 17 return to American Le Mans Series competition. In the weeks prior to the ModSpace race, Tucker's and teammates Luis Diaz's and Christophe Bouchut's track performances were irregular, generating last-minute withdrawals to be able to pursue the newest cost-capped LMP2 Honda in time for the world's best rivals in Intercontinental Le Mans Cup races at the conclusion of the season.
Not having the proper auto tires for the automobile soon enough pushed Level 5 to withdraw from the Silverstone ILMC race that would happened merely a few days before the ModSpace race at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway. Not having plenty of competitors made the team withdraw from several ALMS races in July, including the Northeast Grand Prix in Lime Rock Park in Connecticut and the Grand Prix of Mosport in Ontario, Canada. In their first year in the LMP2 class, Level 5 Motorsports wished to proceed moving on in the class, and races with no other LMP2 entries didn't seem worth the laps. With, state-of-the-art car in construction and massive ILMC end-of-season races expanding ever nearer, they dedicated to preparing itself for international competition-the best competition the entire world had to provide.
The team went in the summer season in fantastic ranking, with Tucker and Bouchut leading in points and the overall crew earning quite a few podium appearances in all 3 series in which it's entered. As soon as the HPD ARX-01g started out its racing season at the Laguna Seca race, it fell straight into line with the rest of its team. The first appearance was exquisite, offering on its manufacturer promise of higher speed and not battling one particular mechanical concern or unplanned pit stop. The Level 5 team drove to a fourth-place over-all finish with highest points in the LMP2 category, one more amazing feat for the team's 1st season.
The win secured the drivers' championship for Tucker and Bouchut in time for the all-important Petit le Mans, which means Tucker is on track to be a four-time national driving champion. That his career itself is only 5 years old speaks to his raw talent, determination and incredible development as a driver. That he also raced in two races besides the ModSpace contest speaks to the fact that he's a little nuts-or just versatile, enduring and knows how to win, considering he added double victories in the extra races to the win at Laguna Seca.
With the ModSpace ALMS out of the way, the race season begun winding down in time but winding up in energy as drivers continued preparing for the Petit Le Mans and the very last round of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup in China. With the year schedule back in line and a brand-new ride to boot, Level 5 Motorsports will aim to continue its momentum and end up as it started: number one.
