Level 5 Motorsports has had nothing but positive reviews of its pre-Petit Le Mans practice and testing week, and even more positive remarks about its eventual Petit victory. The brand new HPD ARX-01g prototypes it brought to the race have been running flawlessly according to all reports from the track. But "flawlessly" doesn't mean entirely without error. In fact, Level 5's No. 055 HPD ARX-01g was part of a morning full of incidents during the 25-minute warm-up at Road Atlanta last Saturday. Level 5's No. 055 suffered an oil leak, a minor but important problem to fix for the car, which......READ MORE

Earlier this year, the Scott Tucker-owned racing team Level 5 Motorsports prepared for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, an historic endurance race in the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup series. Like any team, Level 5 aimed to win. But curiously, the team opted out of the option to qualify for a starting position in the race, instead accepting the dead last position for its two Microsoft Office-sponsored LMP2 cars, Nos. 55 and 95. "Qualifying for a 24-hour race is meaningless," said a Level 5 mechanic at the time. "Anything that's not directly related to winning, we're going to opt out of." It's......READ MORE

The reason: because they were the best. Tucker and his team had finished the 2010 season with a win at Petit Le Mans, moving them from the LMP class to the LMP2 class for the 2011 season. Even though Tucker was racing in five series and a mid-season car change could create obstacles, Tucker reserved the first two HPD ARX-01gs out of production. He was looking ahead to the 2011 Petit Le Mans, where he wanted to make sure the......READ MORE
