Scott Tucker and his racing team is preparing for the 24 hrs of Le Mans earlier this year, it is actually an historic stamina competition in the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup Series. Just like other teams, Level 5's goal is to win the race. However curiously, the team decided out of the choice to qualify for a starting spot in the race, rather accepting the last spot for its two sponsored Microsoft Office LMP2 cars, No. 95 and No. 55.
According to Level 5 auto mechanic, being in the 24 hour race is meaningless; something which isn't connected straight in winning the team may go to opt out. It's actually your beginning spot in a day long event is the most important element. But winning is not only because you were not able to practice on the driving lap. It is actually on the type of laps you are driving.
Most of the time the practice sessions are open to teams during the days that will lead to races are vital time to be familiar with the track and make use of the effectiveness of the pit stops and the driver changes. For Level 5 and Tucker practice is a chance to get along with a new car, an important factor the team needs to face many times during its existence.
At present, the team introduced its latest LMP2 Honda chassis during the American Le Mans Series Monterey held at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway last Sept. 17. The valuable indicators of how the car will perform are the hours of road time the car encountered, another benefit of having practice time. But most of the time, the Level 5 team remains true to its mechanic word, practice is useless if one was not able to perfect it.
That is precisely the reason why Level 5 team runs in 2 Le Mans Prototype access in each race- during the time Tucker begins Level 5 Motorsports in 2008, Tucker was just 2 years in his professional racing team, and requires practice. However, he is also not willing to waste time doing meaningless laps in the track against no rivals.
For Tucker, the most important practice encounters have been during the actual race. Even though practice activities have said to be very helpful to the Level 5 team if it needs to survey a new car's abilities, the team usually treats every mile on the race track as a chance for a world class win. That technique has functioned for the team that enters the, summit of the 2011 season with the Petit Le Mans, SCCA Runoffs and the six hours of Zhuhai in China.
