Inside Motorsports With Scott Tucker and Level 5 at Le Mans Now on Speed2
Inside Motorsports, the web-based, behind-the-scenes motorsports video series, has produced a 24-minute recap of the effort made by Level 5 Motorsports in the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans. That program is available on Speed2.com, the web channel maintained by the cable TV network SPEED.
Throughout the 2011 racing season, Inside Motorsports and host Diana Binks have been following Level 5 as they competed in the American Le Mans series for the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup. In June, Level 5 competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time as a team. That journey is the subject of the program now available through Speed2.
Inside Motorsports takes the viewer into the pits and into the minds of the drivers and crews brave enough to tackle this race. Scott Tucker and Level 5 Motorsports teammates Christophe Bouchut and Joao Barbosa, drove their No. 33 Lola-Honda Coupe to a third-place finish in the highly competitive LMP2 category. More impressive was the fact that their trouble-free race was rewarded with a 10th-place result in the overall classification.
Faced with two minor setbacks—a spin by Barbosa into the gravel trap during Hour 14 and a quick trip to the garage for a realignment and rear deck change with three hours to go— the team was able to keep the car in solid contention for the win.
