Level 5 Motorsports had a bitter-sweet qualifying at Sebring, as the team's No. 055 HPD ARX-03b grabbed the class pole in the ALMS P2 class but suffered an accident just moments after jumping to the top spot.

"I arrived in Turn One and in the middle of the corner, suddenly a car came from the exit of pit lane and onto my line," Christophe Bouchut explained. "I had to decide to do something, so I tried to go to the left, but I hit the wall and I spun.

"From my perspective, at that time, there was nothing else I could do, or else the car would have hit me and then it would have been worse than what happened."

Bouchut's time held as the quickest of the ALMS contingent, while Luis Diaz qualified the No. 95 car third in class.
