Scott Tucker And The Boardwalk Ferrari Team Have Their Sights Set On The Ultimate Prize

F430 World Championship -after yet another stellar qualifying attempt for Race No. 2, set for Saturday in the North American division at the Ferrari Challenge International Finals. Tucker will start at the front of the F430 pack in the North American division, after qualifying the No. 755 F430 Ferrari with a fast lap of 141.524 mph.

Riccardo Ragazzi fronts the Italian grid, as Tucker closes the gap on the competition, setting up a true international showdown. In only the team’s second race at the prestigious Mugello Circuit in Mugello, Italy, the battle for the world finals for the F430 on Sunday will be off the charts.

Following the qualifying run, Race 1 brought an unfortunate and unavoidable end for Tucker and team. In rainy conditions, Tucker started from the No. 1 position among all F430 drivers, but was forced to retire from the event after his No. 755 machine was involved in an incident with the Ferrari of Houston’s Mark McKenzie.

“Sometimes, you get caught up in some things that are out of your control, and it’s very disappointing,” said Tucker, who scored a combined three victories at the Ferrari Challenge International Finals the past two years in Valencia, Spain. “We got tangled up with another car, and there wasn’t anything we could have done about it.

“You come over here to try and challenge for a victory – we fully expected we would do just that – and then something like this happens. We’ll just put it behind us and go on to the next race. There’s still a lot left to the weekend.”

Indeed. The car sustained serious damage, however, the Level 5 team worked through the night to get the car ready for Saturday’s action.

Tucker was not injured in the incident.

“Scott actually ran a better qualifying lap for the second race than he did for the first. That’s very encouraging,” said Boardwalk Ferrari Team Manager David Stone. “This is a very challenging road course in dry conditions, much less the wet conditions that we experienced on Friday.

“We’re looking for big things out of him Saturday and then on into Sunday for the World Final.”

Scott Tucker, Level 5 Motorsports Driver Earns Pole, Faces Stiff Competition At Ferrari Challenge International Finals

Scott Tucker’s quest for a Ferrari Challenge Series world championship got off to a great start Thursday.  The driver of the No. 755 Boardwalk Ferrari F430 earned the top qualifying position with a speed of 158.416 mph in preparation for Friday’s North American division race No. 1 at the Ferrari Challenge International Finals at Mugello Circuit in Mugello, Italy. 

It is Tucker’s first time back in competition behind the wheel of an F430 in Challenge Series competition since last November, when he won a race and finished second in the other at the Ferrari Challenge International Finals in Spain.  Following Race number 1 on Friday will be a second race on Saturday.  Then, the season comes to a close with the F430 World Finals on Sunday where Tucker looks to solidify another driving championship. 

A mere .7 seconds separates Tucker from the top qualifier, Italy’s Riccardo Ragazzi, setting up a showdown for the World Championship title.   The Ferrari Finali Mondiali features a world-class field of drivers, and the competition among the F430 cars is astight as it has ever been.

“We came into this week knowing how hard we needed to work to win here.  The field is very, very tough,” Tucker said.  “This is a very challenging circuit.  You can’t make any mistakes here.  If you do, you’ll run yourself right out of a chance to win.  And, that’s what we came here to do — win.”

Tucker is a three-time winner in the Ferrari Challenge International Finals between 2009 and 2010.  The event was held in Valencia, Spain, both years.

Mugello Circuit, officially the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello, is a 3.529-mile road course near Florence.  The track, built in 1974, is comprised of 15 turns and a long straightaway.

Turns 14 and 15 combine in a challenging hairpin that leads into the straightaway, which is1,141 meters in length.  The width of the track varies between 9, 6 and 14 meters. 

Tucker has competed in four Ferrari Challenge Series races this season, all in the newFerrari 458.  He won the series opener at Infineon Raceway in California in April and finished sixth in the second race that weekend.

In May at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Tucker finished second to Enzo Potolicchio in Race 1 and fifth in Race 2.  With his busy worldwide racing schedule, he has not participated in the Ferrari Challenge Series since.

The green flag isscheduled to wave for race No. 1 on Friday at 3 p.m. local time.  Qualifying for race No. 2 for the North American division is set for 9:30 a.m. local time Friday.  The green flag is scheduled to wave for race No. 2 at 2:40 p.m. local time Saturday.

Tucker, Level 5 Motorsports Roar Into Ferrari Challenge International Finals

Scott Tucker and Level 5 Motorsports will return to familiar racing territory this weekend.  Fresh off yet another championship in the American Le Mans Series, Tucker is primed to once again take on a world-class field of drivers at the Ferrari Challenge International Finals, where he has won three times over the past two seasons.

He will also get back behind the wheel of the Ferrari 430, a car that helped make him the most successful driver in Ferrari Challenge Series history.  The Ferrari Finali Mondiali is set for Thursday through Sunday at Mugello Circuit in Mugello, Italy.

Tucker won eight races during the regular Ferrari Challenge Series season in 2009, and then a pair of races at the International Finals in Valencia, Spain, that year.  He returned to Valencia in 2010 and won one race and placed second in another after a stunning comeback.

“The Ferrari Challenge Finals have been pretty good to us the past couple of years,” Tucker said.  “We were able to run up front and win some races on a tough race circuit in Spain against some of the world’s best drivers, and we’re very proud of those accomplishments.

“Now, we’re headed to Italy to another tough course.  It’s going to be another tremendous challenge for us.  But, I have all the confidence in the world in our Level 5 Motorsports team to bring home a checkered flag or two.”

Mugello Circuit, officially the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello, is a 3.529-mile road course near Florence.  The track, built in 1974, is comprised of 15 turns and a long straightaway.

Turns 14 and 15 combine in a challenging hairpin that leads into the straightaway, which is 1,141 meters in length.  The width of the track varies between 9, 6 and 14 meters.  The David Stone-led team has been in Italy getting the car prepared for what promises to be a true test.

“Just by looking at the layout, you can tell that this is a very challenging road course,” Stone said.  “Scott has a lot of experience with the F430 and we have a good feel for how to get the car set up for him.  We are really looking forward to these races.”

Tucker has competed in four Ferrari Challenge Series races this season, all in the new Ferrari 458.  He won the series opener at Infineon Raceway in California in April and finished sixth in the second race that weekend.

In May at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Tucker finished second to Enzo Potolicchio in Race 1 and fifth in Race 2.  With his busy worldwide racing schedule, he has not participated in the Ferrari Challenge Series since.

Qualifying for race No. 1 for the North American division is set for 3:30 p.m. local time Thursday. The green flag is scheduled to wave for race No. 1 on Friday at 3 p.m. local time.

Qualifying for race No. 2 for the North American division is set for 9:30 a.m. local time Friday.  The green flag is scheduled to wave for race No. 2 at 2:40 p.m. local time Saturday.

Level 5 Motorsports Launches Tucker-Racing.com

Madison, Wisconsin – Scott Tucker is owner and driver for Level 5 Motorsports competing in American Le Mans, Intercontinental Le Mans Cup and Ferrari Challenge competition.

This talented and dedicated crew are pictured here following the team’s win in the 2011 12 Hours of Sebring.

Moving into the LMP2 category for 2011, Scott Tucker and his Level 5 Motorsports organization wasted no time getting up to speed with their new prototypes. Tucker was part of the winning team in the 59th annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, the opening round of the American Le Mans Series and new Intercontinental Le Mans Cup World Championship. One month later, Tucker was back in victory lane in the second round of the ALMS season at Long Beach before taking Level 5 to Europe for the 1000km of Spa and famed 24 Hours of Le Mans.

In a remarkable debut, Tucker and co-drivers Christophe Bouchut and Joao Barbosa earned a podium finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the highly competitive prototype division, with Tucker being the highest-placed American driver in the prestigious race.

Along with being a great payday, Tucker’s third place result at Le Mans also marked a significant milestone in his racing career as he became one of only a few drivers to have achieved podiums in all of the major endurance races in the world. Rolex 24 at Daytona (2010, 3rd place), Twelve Hours of Sebring (2010, 2011, both class wins), 24 Hours of Le Mans (2011, 3rd place) and Petit Le Mans (2010, class win). Additionally, he recorded his 50th career win in early 2011, and scored a podium finish (3rd) at the Six Hours of Imola in ILMC competition.

When the 2011 season opened, Tucker and his Level 5 Motorsports team fielded two new Lola-Honda prototypes and moved into the LMP2 class in the American Le Mans Series. The team won the class victory in the Twelve Hours of Sebring. Due to a lack of competitors in LMP2 class of the American Le Mans Series, Level 5 concentrated on the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup rounds in Europe and Asia. The Level 5 team participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, earning an impressive podium finish. Tucker, and co-drivers Christophe Bouchut and Joo Barbosa raced the Level 5 Motorsports’ Lola B11/80 Honda Coupe to a third-place finish in LMP2. It was Level 5’s debut appearance in the historic race as a team.

Another Busy Weekend Of Winning Races For Level 5’s Scott Tucker

 

What would a Saturday without at least three races be for Level 5 Motorsports owner-driver Scott Tucker? Probably a day off. Maintaining a 2011 season schedule that raises uncertainty as to whether he sleeps, Tucker again pulled a multiple-race extravaganza this weekend. Not only was his Level 5 team competing in the American Le Mans Series championship, Petit Le Mans, but Tucker also entered himself in the Cooper Tire Prototype Lites double-header, a pair of rounds in the IMSA GT3 Challenge by Yokohama series and the Sports Car Club of America’s Pro Racing Trans-Am event. Petit Le Mans itself was a 10-hour commitment for Tucker, who drove both the Level 5 LMP2 entries, Nos. 33 and 055. Add five other races to that, and you start wondering where Tucker is hiding his Level 5 Hour Energy drinks.

 

Tucker’s weekend kicked off with the Cooper Tire Prototype Lites races. Coming off a week of qualifying for the all-important Petit Le Mans, you’d think it would be hard for Tucker to transfer his focus to anything else—a win at Petit Le Mans would mean Tucker achieved two consecutive Petit Le Mans victories and would score the second-place position for Level 5 in the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup series LMP2 championship standings. But Tucker handily won the Cooper Tires race, his third consecutive victory in the Lites 2 class. His performance the next day at the IMSA GT3 Challenge by Yokohama series race earned him a No. 9 spot in the overall standings for the year.

 

Tucker drove the Level 5 Motorsports Microsoft Office-sponsored No. 55 Ferrari 430 for the SCCA Trans-Am event. This was the first year that the GGT class has run as its own class in the race, and Tucker again claimed a top finish, his second Trans-Am Series victory of the season. His first was at the SCCA National Championship Runoffs last month, where he drove a Porsche.

 

“It’s been a great racing weekend so far,” Tucker said. “There’s been some good competition and some close finishes. Everything’s working out; it’s been a great day.” With the supporting races out of the way, Tucker could finally focus his full attention on the juggernaut Petit Le Mans, the pinnacle of the ALMS season. The Level 5 team had entered two brand new LMP2 cars, which performed seamlessly during qualifying and testing. The team also added a fifth driver last week, Marino Franchitti, who has extensive experience driving the HPD ARX-01 models. He’s been behind the wheel of nearly every iteration of the prototypes starting with HPD ARX0-1a, Level 5’s being an HPD ARX-01g built by the partnership of Honda Performance Development and Wirth Research.

 

“We’ve been looking ahead to Petit ever since the decision was made to switch to the new prototypes,” Tucker said. “It’s definitely a big day for us. We’re extremely pleased with the cars’ performance this week at testing, and we just need to get out there and drive fast, drive smart and try to take home another win.”

 

Level 5 Motorsports won Petit Le Mans in the LMP category last year, which bumped them up a class to LMP2. They’ve been formidable competitors in the field this season, winning multiple ALMS races and delivering solid performances in ILMC races overseas, as well.

Top Rated 3 Automobiles Driven By Footballers

Soccer players stay the life of extravagance, and it’s no wonder when you realize what exactly salary they generate. Footballers are in a fortunate position to buy whatever they for example. They drive good vehicles, live in wonderful homes and go on pricey holidays. This is the existence that we all aim we had, but it is a reality for them. Here are a few of the nicest cars that football players purchase with their Vanquis Credit Card:

Range Rover Sport: This car is very desired because of the standing it provides the car owner. If you are seen in this, then it demonstrates that you have made it in life. The car sits high off the ground and has a giant powerplant meaning you own the road because you can drive fast having a super view. This car includes a array of luxurious extras like leather seats and satellite navigation.

Aston Martin DB9: This car is pure luxury and a wonderful car for anybody to be seen in. It costs a lot and has a huge motor, but this has not prevented footballers such as David Terry from buying one. This English icon will go down in the history as a terrific car. If you are blessed enough to own one of these autos, then you know you have made it in life. If you don’t have one, then keep operating and you would possibly get there ultimately.

Bmw SLR: This car is highly expensive and a deluxe automobile for the most huge players who think funds is no option. Lucky players include William Gallas who owns one of these beautiful cars. It can proceed up to 200mph, which is faster than anyone would want to go, but this is nice to know the power is there if necessary. This car is rare and you won’t see numerous of these on the streets. It is powered by a big engine and is also comfortable enough for lengthy journeys if you demand to tour the country. I bet that you are hoping you own one of these right now.

Supercross Motorcycle Racing: What It Is And How It Works

Supercross motorcycle racing is often summed up as dirt-bike racing; however, most fans and drivers prefer if you call it supercross motorcycle racing. This is mainly due in part to the fact that dirt-bike racing has a number of different variations.  In a way, dirt-bike racing sounds so backyard-ish, but the reality is that supercross racing is actually a professional sport.  In fact, it is professional sport that has rapidly increased in popularity, especially over the past few years.

If you are a fan of supercross racing, you likely already know how the racing works.  However, if you are a new fan or if you are unfamiliar with the ins and outs of supercross racing, you may want to learn more.  Learning the ins and out of supercross racing would take some time, especially when you figure in the racing, itself, as well as the equipment needed and the track surfaces.  However, if you are just looking to know what is happening on your television or during a live supercross motorcycle race, you are in luck. To do so, you just need to have a general overview of how supercross motorcycle racing works.  You can easily learn this important information in a matter of minutes.

Supercross motorcycle racing, as you likely already know, is racing that occurs on a man-made track or surface, with off-road motorcycles.   In a way, that track is compared to an obstacle course.  This is due to the fact that it is traditionally decked out with amazing jumps, smalls hills, and numerous corners. With supercross motorcycle racing, the goal of the race is to not only make it through the tough course, but to finish first. This goal typically takes place in the final feature, often known as the main event; however, the main event is not all that supercross motorcycle racing has.

As with many other forms of racing, including professional stockcar racing, supercross motorcycle racing using qualifying races and heat races. Qualifying races are often used to determine which supercross racers can participate in the main event. This is important because supercross motorcycle racing is not just popular with fans.  There are many men and women out there who wish to become a professional supercross racer; therefore, many supercross racing events tend to have a fairly large driver turn out.  While it is not always the case, most of the time, only a certain number of drivers qualify for each race.

Once all of the qualifying racings have taken place, many supercross racers then participate in heat races.  Heat races are sometimes substituted for qualifying races, especially during amateur supercross motorcycle races.  After the field has been set, whether it be by heat races or qualifying races, the main event will begin. The main event is the most well known portion of all supercross motorcycle racing events.  It often draws in the largest crowds, not only in person, but with televised events.

As previously mentioned, some supercross motorcycle racing events are operated in different ways, but all will have main event.  The length of that main event will be left up to the promoters of the race.  Most supercross motorcycle racing main events are twenty laps.  During this time, racers will compete for first place; however, supercross motorcycle racing is not like most other forms of racing.  As previously stated, supercross race tracks are man-made tracks with numerous jumps, small hills, and other obstacles. In addition to coming in first place, racers must also successful maneuver the course.  Although this may seem easy, it isn’t always.  This is because the racing is often done in close corridors, making it even harder to maneuver around the track.

If supercross motorcycle racing sounds like an interesting sport, you are advised to watch it.  Although reading about it in print may seem interesting enough, there is nothing like seeing a supercross motorcycle race in action. Whether you attend a professional race, a local amateur race, or just watch a race on television, you are sure to become a lifelong fan of the sport.

Supercross Motorcycle Racing Venues

Are you a fan of supercross motorcycle racing? Whether you are just a fan or an inspiring racer, you may have a few questions about this popular sport.  One of the questions, most commonly asked, concerning supercross motorcycle racing, is about their venues. Many individuals wonder where these venues are, how they are made, and if they are permanent.  When finding the answer to these questions, you will find that all of the answers vary. There really is not one definite answer.

As previously mentioned, one of the most common questions ask involves where supercross racing venues are.  Honestly, they are all across the country.  Supercross racing venues, for professional race events are mostly held in indoor areas, such as football stadiums.  Although these races are most commonly held indoors, the professional supercross racing circuit has begun to participate in a number of outdoor races.  As with indoor races, these races occur all across the United States.  A supercross racing circuit is like any other racing circuit; they try and hit a fairly large number of locations all across the county.  Doing so helps to create a larger fan base.

While professional supercross racing is the most watched form of supercross motorcycle racing, you will find that it is not the only one.  In addition to “full-fledge,” professionals, there are supercross racers who are a cross between amateurs and professionals. These racers tend to race on a local level versus a natural level.  While it is possible to have a local indoor supercross track, many local tracks are outdoors.  These outdoor tracks are popular in areas that do not have the spaced needed to regularly house large supercross racing events, even those on a local level.

All supercross racing tracks are man-made. This means that they are artificially made.  Since supercross tracks are artificial, but they also need to provide excitement for the racers, as well as the fans, most tracks are filled with obstacles, such as sharp turns and huge jumps.  Depending on the supercross track in question, the track is made with the use of heavy machinery, as well as human hands.  It is not uncommon to find dirt or straw scarred around certain areas of a supercross motorcycle track.

It was also mentioned that many individuals wonder whether or not supercross racing tracks are permanent fixtures at their venue locations. This answer depends on the type of supercross motorcycle racing that is taking place. With professional supercross racing, most racers are on a racing circuit. A racing circuit involves traveling to preset cities and venues on preset dates. Racing circuits are, in a way, mostly for the fans.  By having a racing schedule determined ahead of time, more fans should be likely to attend the events.  Since professional supercross racing circuits travel the country, the rarely return to the same place until the following year.  For that reason, most professional supercross motorcycle racing tracks are only temporary.

Although most professional supercross motorcycle racing tracks will be removed as soon as the event is over, there are race tracks that are permanent fixtures. These tracks are often locally owned and operated.  On these types of tracks, those aspiring to become professional supercross racers or just those who have a love for the sport, turn out to race, often on a weekly basis.  Since these many local supercross motorcycle racing events occur on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, you will find that many of these tracks are permanent fixtures, whether they be located indoors or outdoors.

As you can easily see, there are a number of different racing venues and track styles for supercross motorcycle racing.  If you are looking to be a professional supercross motorcycle racer, you will likely have the opportunity to race on a number of these tracks.  If you are a fan of the sport, you will also likely have a chance to watch numerous supercross motorcycle racing events at indoor and outdoor facilities. Although you may not be able to see them live or in person, you should be able to find these action packed races on television.

Supercross Motorcycle Racing: Important Safety Equipment

Are you interested in trying your hand at supercross motorcycle racing?  If so, there is a good chance that you have never participated in the sport before; in fact, you may not even know much about it.  If this is the case, you are advised to familiarize yourself with supercross motorcycle racing, as well as the safety equipment that should be used.

Supercross motorcycle racing is a popular sport.  It isn’t just popular, it is also action packed. Supercross motorcycle racing takes place indoors, on man-made tracks.  These tracks are, in a way, similar to obstacle courses.  They are often decked out with the highest jumps and other fun adventures.  The goal of supercross racing is not only to master the course, but to come in first.

As previously mentioned, supercross racing takes place indoors.  If you are looking to just get started with the sport, you may find it difficult to find a supercross motorcycle track to race on.  For this reason, you may want to use your own backyard or search for a local motocross track.  Both are great ways to get experience with off-road racing and possibly even prepare yourself for a career in supercross motorcycle racing.

When it comes to buying the equipment and the supplies needed for supercross motorcycle racing, many individuals, maybe even yourself, automatically think of an off-road motorcycle. While an off-road motorcycle is needed to participate in the sport, it is not the only thing that you will need. In addition to concentrating on purchasing yourself an off-road motorcycle, such as the ones made by Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha, you also need to think in terms of safety. You can do this by purchasing all of the necessary safety equipment.

When it comes to safety equipment, you will find that not everyone needs to have the same items. The more experienced you become, the less safety equipment you may need to have.  However, if you are just getting started with off-road racing, you are advised to purchase as much safety equipment as you possibly can. This will help to ensure that you are safe and protected, especially when first learning how to maneuver an off-road bike on an off-road track.  After you gain experience, you may be able to shed some of the equipment that you no longer needed.

As previously mentioned, when first starting out in off-road racing, such as supercross motorcycle racing, it is advised that you get as much safety equipment as you possibly can. These items should include a helmet, goggles, boots, pants, gloves, chest protector, knee braces, as well as a back brace. All of these items are important to your safety, including the clothing.  You should never go off-road riding in shorts or in a tank top. You are advised to purchase real racing gear, such as a uniform. You will find that this type of clothing will offer you better protection, when compared to your everyday clothing.

If and when you need to purchase supercross safety equipment, you are advised to purchase it around the same time that you purchase your motorcycle. This will help to ensure that you do not feel to the need to go riding, without first being properly protected.  In fact, you may even find that the same store that you are buying your motorcycle from sells the needed safety equipment.  If not, you should easily be able to find it for sale online.
