\u258c<\/span>ACCIDENT IN PORSCHE TURNING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The world\u2019s most difficult motorsports event lived up to its reputation today as Level 5 Motosports drivers Scott Tucker and Christophe Bouchut fell victim to the perils of endurance sportscar racing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Their Team Kolles Audi R-10, with co-driver Manuel Rodrigues behind the wheel, crashed in the Porsche curves during the early morning hours, ending their run.<\/p>\n

\u00ab That is just a shame, \u00bb Tucker said. \u00ab You know these things can happen in such a long race. But we really felt we had settled into our pace with good, consistent lap times. We just needed to be around at the end to post a good finish. \u00bb<\/p>\n

Race speeds were incredible, that is why this race has the reputation it does.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u258c<\/span>397 TOURS ON 3,366 miles<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After rolling off 12th in a field of 55 of the best racecars and drivers in the world, the No. 14 Audi R-10 had been setting lap times that equaled their qualifying speed \u2013 demonstrating the blistering speed of the race that would go into the record books as the fastest-paced 24 Hours of Le Mans ever run. The team was running as high as 7th place in the early going!<\/p>\n

Covering a record 397 laps for 3,366 miles \u2014 nearly the distance from London to New York \u2014 the 2010 running of the legendary race proved there is indeed no more difficult test in motorsports. And, with Audi posting nine wins in the last 11 years at Le Mans \u2014 including three for the R-10 \u2014 there is no doubt they have become the class of the field in international endurance racing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll come back in 2011, but
\nwith our own team, cars, and drivers\u2026<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Next up for Tucker and Bouchut will be a return to the American Le Mans Series where they sit atop the standings for the Le Mans Prototype Challenge. The Larry H. Miller Dealerships Grand Prix will be held July 11, 2010, at 4:30 p.m. ET. Television coverage will be carried by SPEED.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
