With two wins (Long Beach, Lime Rock) recorded this year by Extreme Speed ​​Motorsports (ESM) against three (Sebring, Mazda Raceway, Mosport) for Level 5 Motorsports Scott Tucker, the tension is at its peak with the approach of the next round, which will take place next weekend on the track at Road America.

Triple P2 ALMS champion 2010, 2011 and 2012 Level 5 Motorpsort third consecutive year with two seasons with a Ferrari F458 and a first with HPD ARX-03b for the ESM, we must say that our two competitors engaged in the P2 category familiar with the events of the American championship.

At the last race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, July 21, the advantage has turned in favour of Scott Tucker. For Guy Cosmo, driver of the ESM, this second place is small consolation but the title is still in reach: "I started in fourth position on the grid with the HPD. After only one hour of the race, I was leading the P2 class by setting the best times in the race. Unfortunately the traffic delayed me and I was overtaken by Scott Tucker. … It's frustrating but that's racing. The next race will be good, I'm sure. "

For Scott Sharp, driver and owner of the ESM team, a lot of work has been done: "The whole team has invested a lot of time to give us a competitive car. We changed an engine in the early practice and made significant changes, but it was not enough. Scott Tucker was really fast this weekend and we were not able to catch him. Maybe a few minutes would have allowed us to catch up. "

The next weekend, the two teams will fight for the title once again. The race at Road America Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin is not to be missed.
