24h Le Mans
In the recent history of endurance racing the prototypes of the LM P2 class - supposedly slower than the LM P1 category - have managed to win on rare occasions. We remember especially wins by Porsche and Acura ALMS, or Acura in LMS at the 1000 km of Budapest in 2010. With these achievements, we must now add Level 5 Motorsports.
Although both HPD ARX-03b took advantage of the mechanical failure of their big sister ARX-03a (Muscle Milk Pickett Racing), they also regularly dominated both the Dyson Lola-Mazda LMP1 cars. In the end, the Tucker and Bouchut duo finished ahead and Gonzalez-Diaz-Popow Dalziel (LM PC) by less than 3 seconds.
In GT, Falken tyres seemed perfectly acclimated to the constraints of the Baltimore street circuit as their Porsche supported by Japanese tyre manufacturer won for the second consecutive year in the hands of Henzler and Sellers. Corvette and Ferrari completed the podium.
The penultimate round of the ALMS will be held in two weeks at the Virginia International Raceway circuit that will host the American series for the first time in its history.
