Beginning life as Courage LC70 chassis #8, this LMP2 Acura ARX-01A is run in the American Le Mans Series by Andretti-Green Racing. The 2007 12 Hours of Sebring marked their first race in the ALMS and the XM Satelite Radio sponsored machine couldn't have done much better. The driving trio of Bryan Herta, Dario Franchitti, and Tony Kanaan won the LMP2 class and came in 2nd place overall! But from there, the reality of running a top flite ALMS LMP program sunk in as the team struggled for the rest of the year. With Herta running the full season, Dario's brother, Marino Franchitti joined Herta for the following nine races while Dario and Tony Kanaan rejoined the team at the end of the year.

2008
For 2008 a host of upgrades and developments to the Acura also brought forth a name change. Now called the ARX-01B, Andretti-Green Racing bestowed its driving duties to Bryan Herta and Christian Fittipaldi with Marco Andretti joining the team for the 12 Hours of Sebring. All was not well in the AGR camp though. After several mediocre outings early in the year, Herta and Fittipaldi were replaced by ex-F1 driver Franck Montagny and a variety of other drivers from the AGR family.
