ALMS Heads Back to the Streets of Baltimore

ALMS Heads Back to the Streets of Baltimore
With only four races left in the 2013 ALMS season, the focus has shifted to capturing any points you can get. Street course races, like the Baltimore Grand Prix in, are a deciding factor in the championship standings especially this late in the season.  The street course layout for the Baltimore Grand Prix consists of twelve turns on a two-mile track. Expect some close fender to fender racing with five classes all pushing hard for the top spot on the podium.

In P1, Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing has the championship pretty much wrapped up. Rebellion Racing is still in a distant second place even though they haven’t competed in the last three races. Dyson Racing is hoping to knock Rebellion out of the second spot with a decent finish in Baltimore. DeltaWing Racing will be looking to carry the momentum of their first podium finish of the 2013 season at Road America.

In P2, Level 5 Motorsports has stretched their points lead to eleven over rivals Extreme Speed Motorsports. Extreme Speed Motorsports has finished second to Level  5 in four of the last six races. The P2 championship is sure to go right down to the last race of the season if both teams survive the streets of Baltimore.

The competition in the spec PC class is fierce with only fifteen points covering the top four teams. PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports is right on the heels of CORE Autosport with RSR Racing and BAR1 Motorsports hoping to gain ground on the points leader.

Corvette Racing has extended their GT Class points lead after BMW Team RLL suffered an uncharacteristically poor weekend at Road America. SRT Motorsports stepped up their game with a class win at Road America. The SRT Motorsports team will aim to put their Vipers up front in Baltimore as well.

In GTC, Flying Lizard Motorsports has a slim four point championship lead over Alex Job Racing. If either of the top two teams in the GTC class falters this weekend, NGT Motorsport is still within range to move up in the point standings.
