Scott Tucker Racing Degree 5 Team Gets Pole For Le Mans
Luis Diaz took the No. 055 Microsoft Office 2010-sponsored HPD ARX-01g to the pole in an awe-inspiring way with a qualifying effort for the Level 5 Motorsports group and owner, Scott Tucker Racing from Leawood, KS.
Teammate Christophe Bouchut held the top spot with the No. 33 Microsoft Office 2010 HPD ARX-01g for the 15 minute prototype session. Bouchut was knocked out by No. 26 Signatech ORECA-Nissan inside the closing minutes.
Bouchut couldn’t get it with each other in the last minutes of the race, but group member Diaz took this Honda-powered prototype towards the checked flag. It took the pole for the 2009 American Le Mans Sequence LMP2 champion
“It was a matter of possessing a clean lap,” Diaz said. “The LMP1 cars didn’t make our lives incredibly easy. We were surprised because we know the speed in the Nissan, and to beat them right here is very special. But the Level 5 guys did a great career with the car. They’ve labored around the clock in each Europe and right here to prepare the cars. I assume this pole is great motivation for your race.”
Diaz’s remarkable 1:12.335 lap time was exceptional and beat out Nissan. That takes him and his co drivers Tucker and Marino Franchitti to key position to take the win at Saturday’s 10 hour endurance race.
The No. 33 HPD in the meantime, is set to get the Petit Le Mans and Tucker and Bouchut are LMP2 championships with wins at Long Seashore, Street The usa and Laguna Seca. A brand new group member, Portuguese ace Joao Barbosa, will join the group on Saturday.
“I was not expecting to be in third, to become honest, but we changed a whole great deal of points,” Bouchut stated. “Maybe I pushed far too substantially at the get started, but when the Nissan took the pole, it was way too late for us. It really is what it truly is, however it was superior for the team to still start out on the pole. We’re going for your win tomorrow.”
Tucker has had an incredibly busy and effective record adhering to his title win as 4 times driving champion at SCCA National Runoffs at Highway The usa. He currently had 3 wins in 5 starts. He took both days from the Cooper Tire IMSA Prototype Lites races even though also using the triumph at Professional Racing Trans-Am Sequence 100-mile race in his Microsoft Office 2010-sponsored Ferrari 430 Challenge car. This tends to make it his Global GT class 63rd job win
“There was some great racing out there,” Tucker said. “It’s great to possess earned three extra wins inside the final two days. We grabbed the pole for tomorrow, so there’s a great deal of momentum building. We’re looking forward towards the significant one and hopefully getting back on the top step in the podium”
