It requires excellent concentration, dedication, pure talent and huge time put in the practice ring for an athlete to master his / her sport to the point of being among the top competitors on the planet. It requires twice that formula for an athlete to achieve expertise of 2 various playing positions inside that sport. What exactly has it taken for Level 5 Motorsports owner and driver Scott Tucker to achieve world-class status in 4 sports car racing series-all simultaneously? Only Scott Tucker knows that.
Not only has Tucker preserved an impossible agenda of races in the American Le Mans Series, Grand-Am series, Ferrari Challenge series and the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup series, but he's in fact been successful in every of them. As well as a number of his victories came on the same weekends as other wins, since Tucker was often double, triple or quadruple-scheduled.
Tucker's newest podium end was with an all new vehicle, last weekend at the American Le Mans Series Monterey at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway. The Microsoft Office-sponsored car was the product of a partnership among Honda Performance Development and Wirth Research. The HPD ARX-01g assisted the group reach its maximum all round finish of the year, at 4th. The automobile was completely new for the team and for Tucker, but being in the exact same LMP2 group, it wasn't the severest vehicle discrepancy Tucker had ever faced.
Tucker assisted drive Level 5 Motorsports to a win at the 12 Hours of Sebring, a difficult endurance race in Florida at the Sebring International Raceway. That exact same weekend, he was also schedule to drive in the Porsche GT3 Cup. He drove, and he won-his 2nd win of the weekend in as many races.
These successes would be a bit less amazing if the automobiles were anything alike. Each time a driver competes in a race, he keeps significant g-forces, really warm temperatures, hours of intense focus and effort, and constant critical thought. In endurance racing especially, to have these conditions and come out on top seems a superhuman feat-but to leave the podium finish and do it all over again, only to turn out on another podium-seems downright difficult.
"I lose five to seven pounds every race," Tucker claims. So that you can retain his overstocked race schedule, he must manage serious self-control in his physical regimen as well as his nutritional. To condition for less severe schedules, he has woken up at 4:30 a.m. to do sixty minutes of cardio workouts before performing other training. His current 2011 schedule is a lot more strenuous.
"Driving a Porsche and a prototype couldn't be anything more different," Tucker said while at Sebring. "I've done it in the past, and I've kind of gotten used to it, but it's still a pretty difficult thing to do."
The cars require different driving styles, Tucker said. His success in all four series has proven his versatility and endurance as a driver, as well as his profound determination to win. But above all, it illustrates his passion for the sport. Having entered the industry as a rookie in 2006 at the age of 44, Tucker didn't have a lot of time to waste. He has consistently entered every race he possibly can and treated each one as if it were his last chance for a championship. His success not only as a relatively new driver but also as a multi-car driver is proof that in sports, anything is possible.
