Yet oddly, the group decided out from the option to qualify for a commencing position in the race, instead agreeing to the dead last place for its 2 Microsoft Office-sponsored LMP2 automobiles, Nos. 55 and 95.

“Qualifying for a 24-hour race is meaningless,” stated a Level 5 mechanic at the time. “Anything that’s not directly related to winning, we’re going to opt out of.”
